Terrence Jenkins (a.k.a Terrence J) has inked a first-look production and talent deal with Viacom properties MTV and VH1 that will see the TV Host, actor and producer develop and executive produce original content for both networks via his Jenkins Entertainment Group. He will also occasionally host specials for each network throughout the term of the agreement.
“MTV and VH1 are some of the most iconic television brands in the world,” said Terrence Jenkins. “I grew up watching both and I can’t wait to bring my POV in programming and personality to these networks and their loyal viewers.”
“We’re excited to have Terrence J join the MTV and VH1 families in both executive producer and on-air capacities,” said Amy Doyle, General Manager of MTV, VH1 and Logo. “His past work has earned him fans around the globe and we know he’ll bring his signature voice to our brands.”
Jenkins previously hosted BET’s “106 & Park” from 2006 to 2013, and has done the same for several other non-fiction TV shows and specials since then. He’s also an actor, appearing in feature films “Think Like a Man” and its sequel, and “The Perfect Match” most recently.
He’s the co-founder of Jenkins Entertainment Group, a company that specializes in hosting, consulting and formulating marketing plans.
Jenkins is repped by WME, Shakim Compere and Yaneley Arty at Flavor Unit and Darrell D. Miller at Fox Rothschild.
