She’s best known as the former MTV VJ who brought alternative rock into living rooms across America during the 1990s, especially through her role hosting the popular show Alternative Nation. Before she became a household name, she actually started from the ground up—landing an internship at the iconic Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM back in 1991. It was there that she began building her career in music and media, eventually catching the eye of MTV executives. Over the years, she’s maintained a relatively private personal life, though fans know she shares two daughters, Pele and Lotus, with Dave Lee, a professional snowboarder. Her journey—from intern to influential voice in alternative music—shows just how much passion and perseverance can shape a legacy. And really, when you think about it, her impact on 90s rock culture still resonates today.
She was the host of Fame or Foe, a popular game show that ran on the Game Show Network for two full seasons, and during that time, she really made a name for herself. In addition to that, she also contributed her talents to another show called WinTuition, further showcasing her versatility in the world of game shows. She definitely brought energy and charisma to every project she took on, and her work on both Fame or Foe and WinTuition helped solidify her presence in the industry.
