The VJs did most of the promotional work for VJ–for some mysterious reason, people are more interested in seeing beloved celebrities on TV than their co-writers.

Hey, good people! As you may have heard, I have a book coming out on May 7, called VJ, written with the original MTV VJs (Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, and Martha Quinn). If you want to hear Mark talk about “the $10,000 haircut” he got from MTV, to learn the secrets of Adam […]
