Who Were The Hosts On ‘106 & Park’?
‘106 & Park’ made its debut in September 2000. The show was introduced to television viewers with original hosts AJ and Free. The famous duo hosted the show from 2000-2005, per OtakuKart.
In 2005, ‘Rap City: The Basement’ host Big Tigger and model Julissa Bermudez took over the couch to countdown the hottest Top 10 videos. However, Terrence J and Rocsi had the longest reign holding down the program from 2006-2012.
For the first time in the show’s 12-year history, there were four hosts appearing on the stage from 2012-2013, including Shad “Bow Wow” Moss along with Jordan “Shorty da Prince” Johnson,” Kimberly Paigion Walker, and Mykel “Miss Mykie” Gray. Bow Wow also had special co-hosts from time to time such as, Angela Simmons and Adrienne Bailon.
However, almost a year later, ‘106 & Park’ returned with Bow Wow and Keshia Chanté as the permanent hosts before officially ending in 2014, per Billboard.
