'''''Video Jukebox''''' was an American television program which aired from 1981 to 1986 on [[HBO]]. It was a monthly series that showcased [[music videos]] from the popular recording artists of the time such as [[Duran Duran]], [[Michael Jackson]], [[Prince (musician)|Prince]], [[Culture Club]], [[Linda Ronstadt]], [[David Bowie]], [[Bow Wow Wow]], [[Kim Wilde]], [[Hall & Oates]], [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]], [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]], [[Rush (band)|Rush]], and [[The Human League]]. A typical episode of ''Video Jukebox'' consisted of seven or eight music videos and lasted roughly 30 minutes, and the lineup changed in the middle of each month.<ref>''1980's HBO program guides''</ref>

During the late 1970s (and before the [[MTV]] network debuted), HBO was already airing one or two music videos (or "promotional clips" as they were known at the time) as filler in between their feature films and other series. These short clips also carried the ''Video Jukebox'' moniker. When ''Video Jukebox'' premiered as a half-hour series in December 1981, HBO was reaching more households than MTV (which had been launched only four months earlier), so for about a year until MTV caught up to HBO's subscriber count, a video that aired on ''Video Jukebox'' may have received more exposure there than it would on MTV.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20071003050845/http://www2.jsonline.com/enter/tvradio/jul01/mtvtime26072501.asp MTV through the years]</ref>

The series had no host until September 1985, when [[Dennis Elsas]] was brought on as voiceover talent, introducing the videos that were shown on the program. Elsas served as host of ''Video Jukebox'' until its final airing on December 5, 1986.
