Wanna Be a VJ

Wanna Be a VJ was a show and contest on MTV. Contestants were selected from the crowd around MTV's Times Square office, and narrowed down via challenges testing the applicants' music knowledge and personality. Once narrowed down to six contestants, viewers were allowed to vote for contestants via telephone and internet. The winner was awarded $25,000 and a one-year contract to be a Veejay on Total Request Live. All three events were hosted by Carson Daly.
