Downtown Julie Brown (born Julie Dorne Brown; 27 August 1963), is a London-based actress, SiriusXM DJ and former MTV VJ. Brown is most known as the host of Club MTV (1985-1992). ==Life and career== Brown's father, Valentine Brown, was Jamaican and her mother, Doreen, is British. Brown has three brothers, Paul, Mark and Terry and three sisters, Shirley, Carol and Sharon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.spokeo.com/Downtown+Julie+Brown+1 )〕 Her father was in the Royal Air Force and she grew up on Air Force bases all around the world, including Singapore and Cyprus before returning to the United Kingdom, where they settled in Bridgend, Wales. After winning the UK Disco Dancing Championships she went on to win the World Disco Dancing Championship in 1979. Soon after, Brown began a career on British television as presenter and guest on a number of children's programs, including the long-running entertainment show ''Crackerjack''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crackerjack (1955-84) Credits )〕 Brown also appeared as a dancer on ''Top of the Pops'' in the early 1980s as a member of the dance troupe Zoo; she is very prominent on the Christmas Day 1981 show, in particular. Brown became a presenter on the pan-European music channel Music Box and, after moving to the United States, eventually became an MTV VJ and went on to host the ''Club MTV'' show in the late 1980s. That show had a format similar to ''American Bandstands, but featured an exclusive lineup of dance music. From this came her famous catchphrase, "Wubba Wubba Wubba", after accidentally reading the T-shirt of a camera crewmember who was holding the cue cards while on live TV. MTV capitalized on the confusion between Downtown Julie Brown and comic actress Julie Brown by sending the pair together as correspondents for MTV News, as well as "facing" each other on both their shows (''Club MTV'' and ''Just Say Julie''). After leaving MTV Brown went on to work for ESPN conducting on- and off-field interviews with football athletes. Brown then moved to Los Angeles to host the ''E Entertainment'' channel's gossip show. She also became the host of the syndicated radio program ''American Dance Traxx'' in March 1992 until its final broadcast in December 1993. Brown has appeared in a number of movies and TV shows including ''Spy Hard''; ''Spring Break '83''; ''The Weird Al Show''; ''B *A *P *S''; ''Ride''; ''Walker, Texas Ranger''; ''Battle Dome''; ''Hey Arnold!''; ''I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!''; ''The Dog Whisperer''; ''The Eric Andre Show''; and ''RuPaul's Drag U''. Most recently, she appeared in television's ''Wife Swap'' on 21 July 2013. She also appeared on the cover and posed nude for the August 1998 edition of ''Playboy''. Brown is currently a host on the SiriusXM channel '90s on 9. In addition to hosting programming on a daily basis she also hosts the "The Back in The Day Replay Countdown," where the 30 biggest songs of the week from a particular year in the 90s are counted down. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Downtown Julie Brown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
