Director Jesse Vaughan is a 27-time Emmy Award Winner, having started his career at the tender age of 19 as a director for WTVR-TV6 in Richmond, Virginia, where he directed local news and produced his first television show. He later moved on to produce nine nationally syndicated educational documentaries distributed to PBS stations across America, entitled "Fourth R: Rights."
At the age of 22, NBC took notice of his precocious accomplishments and offered him a job, where he directed The Jesse Jackson Show for Quincy Jones Entertainment and America's Black Forum with Julian Bond. Additionally, he worked on Meet The Press, President Reagan's Inauguration, Reagan's State of The Union Addresses, and major White House Press Conferences, as well as directing NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, The Charlie Rose Show, The McGlaughlin Group, and Headlines on Trial with Arthur Miller.
Vaughan directed WRC-TV News Center 4's 5pm News to its first number one position in over ten years. He then followed his 10-year career at NBC with a season five stint, directing the sketch comedy series "In Living Color," starring Jim Carey, Jamie Fox, Tommy Davidson, and David Alan Grier.
Subsequently, Vaughan moved on to directing numerous music documentaries for MTV Networks, including music specials on Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, Paula Abdul, Melissa Etheridge, and Steve Winwood. He has also directed music videos for 'N Sync, featuring Justin Timberlake, Eric Benet, Master P, Mya, Raphael Saadiq, and SWV featuring Missy Elliot.
