MTV Awards Rumour August 30, 1996 - There is immense speculation around the Internet that Van Halen will be appearing at the 1996 MTV awards on September 4. Although nothing has been confirmed by either MTV or the band, the Van Halen News Desk has been inundated with email from MTV viewers reporting that promos for the awards feature the comment "Who knows, you may even see Waldo". Waldo is of course the main character in Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" video from 1984. He was also on the bus at the beginning of David Lee Roth's "California Girls" clip.
