From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Miss Teen USA 1991, the 9th Miss Teen USA pageant, was televised live from the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, Mississippi on 19 August 1991. At the conclusion of the final competition, Janel Bishop of New Hampshire was crowned by outgoing queen Bridgette Wilson of Oregon.[1]
The pageant was hosted by Dick Clark for the first of three years,[2] with color commentary by Leeza Gibbons and Kelly Hu, Miss Teen USA 1985. Music was provided by the Gulf Coast Teen Orchestra.
This was the second of five years that the pageant was held in Biloxi. After the city hosted Miss Teen USA 1990, it entered negotiations with the Miss Universe company in October 1990 to host the pageant for a further four years, and an announcement to that effect was made in early November.[3][4]
