Terrence Jenkins (born July 12, 1983 in South Jamaica, Queens, New York City, New York, United States) is an American television personality and one of the current hosts of the popular Black Entertainment Television show 106 & Park. He first auditioned for the position in the summer of 2005, when BET presented the "New Faces Contest", which was being used to find replacements for the original hosts, Free and AJ Calloway. After Terrence and his fellow co-host Rocsi took over the positions, they were very often scrutinized by the viewers of the show, for not being good hosts. It has been said that the audience for the TV show has greatly decreased, due to the change in hosts. BET has allegedly been trying to re-negotiate a deal with the former hosts, hoping to boost the amount of viewers. However, Free and A.J. have continued to decline re-negotiation proposals.
