| | CNN.com - Alan Hunter on 20 years of MTV - August 2, 2001 |
 | | So many different kinds of people over the 20 years of MTV's existence were all sort of there in one crazy room, and even my kid at 15, who is a pretty smart kid, was going, wow, look at all the people, dad, there's a lot of love in this room. |
 | | Actually, my opinion is that they were coming down to the wire, MTV was about to launch in three weeks, and they didn't have a fifth deejay, and they said, just hire that guy, he can speak, albeit with a Shakespearean accent, because I was an actor. |
 | | So MTV was sort of a departure for me. It took me away from being the headhunter producer, even though I don't smoke cigars. |
