Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Mark Goodman (MTV VJ, actor, author)

[In 1981] I was thrilled. I was working in radio in New York at the number one rock station in New York. I moved up here to New York to take that gig. And within six months, I was so bored and so disgusted. I was looking for any way to get out. And luckily, this friend of mine from Philly Radio where I'm from, where I worked before, called and said, hey, there's this company. I don't know, they're doing something like a 24-hour video channel or something. Maybe you wanna check them out. And the rest is rock history.
