Alan Hunter Pt. 1: Behind the MTV Revolution

In this segment of The Morning X, Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy welcome television legend and original MTV VJ Alan Hunter to pull back the curtain on the dawn of the music video era. Listen in as Alan reveals the truth about his early cable television paychecks, how a chance acting gig with David Bowie helped him land his iconic role, and the real reason he decided to walk away from the network. Plus, discover his take on how much wilder and uncensored MTV's Spring Break broadcasts have become over the years, and stick around for a story about a legendary Kiss rock star's mysteriously shifting hairpiece.
