Iann Robinson is an American writer, musician and television personality best known as a former MTV VJ. Born in New York, Robinson co-hosted a show called Monkey Butt Sex on a Manhattan Public-access television cable TV in the 1990s. Ocean MacAdams, an MTV vice-president, was a fan of the show in his college years and pulled strings to get Robinson a job at MTV in 1999, helped on by an appearance on the MTV show 12 Angry Viewers. Overweight and sporting a shaved head and numerous tattoos as well as being an outspoken fan of heavy metal, Robinson quickly distinguished himself with his blunt, no-nonsense approach to interviewing the pop stars of the day. He left MTV in 2003, implying that he might have been fired although a press release in 2004 suggested it was his decision to leave. In 2006 Robinson wrote in his blog that he was indeed fired. Robinson was also the drummer for Puny Human, a band he formed. Robinson also created MBS Productions with money given to him by his late father. Though no longer with the business it continues to run in New York City.
