How Do You Feel About the End of TRL?
After 10 years of airing music videos, performances and hoards of screaming girls in the middle of Times Square, MTV decided to pull the plug on TRL. The last episode is due to air in November. It will be a two-hour special on a Saturday afternoon.
"We want to close this era of TRL in a big celebratory way, and 10 is a great number," Dave Sirulnick, executive producer of TRL said. "And 10 is the number that TRL counted down every single day for 10 years, and we hit this 10th (anniversary) and we thought, 'You know what? This feels like the right time and let's celebrate it and let's reward it. And let's let it have a little bit of a rest for a minute.' Let it catch its breath! Been working hard -- for 10 years!"
So who will make a special guest appearance in the farewell episode? Dave hopes to include "folks who helped make TRL what it is -- whether that's Justin [Timberlake] and his guys in *NSync, the Backstreet Boys, Britney, Eminem -- I think we would love to see all of them here."
In place of TRL, MTV will bring back FNMTV, which aired 15 episodes over the summer with Pete Wentz as the host.
