Dave Holmes Wanna Be a VJ was a show and contest on MTV in the United States.
Contestants were selected from the crowd around MTV's Times Square office, and narrowed down via challenges testing the applicants' music knowledge and personality.
Holmes ended up hosting various shows on MTV until 2001.Camp's unexpected victory caused many viewers to suspect foul play.
Ray was the first ever half-Korean VJ (he is also a quarter-Irish and a quarter-English) and was the first contest winner to stay longer than a year at MTV.
The runner up, Shannon Wiseman of Dallas, North Carolina, became a co-host for UPN's Atlanta Tonight in 2004 and the host of NASCAR.COM's Post-Race Show in 2005.
