Club MTV is a half hour television show modeled after American Bandstand that aired on MTV from August 31, 1987, to June 26, 1992.[1] Club MTV was part of MTV's second generation of programming, as the channel was phasing out its original 5 VJs and introducing new ones.

Format

Hosted by Downtown Julie Brown (Kevin Seal hosted the pilot) at The Palladium, a large dance club in New York City, the show cut back and forth between teenagers and young adults dancing to a hit music video. Musical guests often introduced their new brand singles.

Club MTV Tour

In July 1989, MTV launched a Club MTV Tour featuring Was (Not Was), Information Society, Paula Abdul, Tone Loc and Milli Vanilli, with Downtown Julie Brown & the Club MTV dancers.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Legacy

On March 20, 2005, VH1 Classic aired a marathon of old Club MTV episodes.

On April 25, 2020, MTV brought Club MTV back for a special, titled Club MTV: Dance Together hosted by D-Nice and Keke Palmer. The one night only event served as a fund raising benefit to help music programs during the coronavirus pandemic.[8]
