veejays
Music video presenters
Veejays are video jockeys—television hosts who introduce and provide commentary on music videos.
The term emerged with MTV in the 1980s, modeled on disc jockey (DJ).
As music video programming declined, so did the term's currency: Remember when MTV actually had veejays?
Also spelled VJs.
