Gaby Wilson Interview (MTV News Correspondent)

Who Would Have Thoughts?

Episode 8 of the Who Would Have Thoughts? Podcast features MTV News’ Gaby Wilson. Gaby has been with MTV for the past seven years, working her way up from an editorial assistant to the person you see hosting red carpet coverage at the VMAs or chopping it up with some of music’s biggest names like Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Ariana Grande and Cardi B. Gaby has also worked on more serious stories for MTV News. Recently she covered the March for Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C., and as a correspondent, she’s hosted special presidential election coverage for the network. Previously, Gaby also moderated a MTV Town Hall discussion surrounding climate change that featured former Vice President Al Gore. In the past, MTV News correspondents and VJs have become pretty big names. Like Kurt Loder and SuChin Pak, Gaby, too, has now cemented herself as part of that MTV News legacy. In this episode, Ngozi chats with Gaby about being a self-described “music nerd,” how she prepares for her interviews with major artists, what it’s like to chat with Kanye West and what songs she has on her summer playlist.
