MTV Names Conn. Teen Its Newest VJ

NEW YORK (AP) -- Jesse Camp's about to be a household name. 

The 19-year-old native of Granby, Conn., was named the winner
Saturday of Music Television's nationwide search for a VJ. 

Camp was picked from more than 4,000 aspiring VJs, who auditioned
this week in Manhattan. 

``A lot of people don't know what to do with me,'' Camp told The
Hartford Courant before his selection. 

``It's, like, they think I'm from another planet. I'm this tall, skinny kid 
with
freaky hair.'' 

The competition was open to 18 to 28-year-olds. 

As one of six finalists ``he clearly stood out,'' MTV executive vice
president told the Courant. 

``He has unique qualities and energy and he was able to talk about music
in a compelling way.'' 

Camp said he wanted the job because ``it beats sweeping streets or
being the president.'' 

He hits MTV this summer.
