John Norris (b. 1959) is a reporter and special correspondent for MTV News and the MTV Radio Network. He joined MTV as a writer in 1986 and became an on-air alternate for news anchor Kurt Loder in 1988. In 1990, he left MTV News to report for the network's morning show as well as the syndicated entertainment show Extra, but returned to MTV News in 1996. He gained further notability through his reporting of special topics within politics and global issues such as with Choose or Lose and Positively Global.[1][2] and has conducted many celebrity interviews, including one with Madonna, which was infamously interrupted by Courtney Love.[3]

Originally from Houston, Texas and a graduate of New York University with a degree in broadcast journalism, Norris now lives in New York City.[1][4]
