MTV’s ‘Total Request Live’ Signs Off
NEW YORK — Carson Daly said that he can’t believe a show that started with just him and a cameraman took off the way “Total Request Live” did.
Sunday night was the final episode of “TRL,” with appearances by Beyonce’, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Fall Out Boy and Diddy, who’s been on the show more than any other celebrity.
In fact, Diddy called himself “The King of ‘TRL”‘ on the show. Kid Rock’s final act of defiance was to refuse to put out his cigar on the set, after years of being asked to do that.
Eminem said of “TRL,” “I kind of feel like they’re tearing down my home.”
“TRL’s” final countdown was the top videos of its entire run.
Coming in at No. 1 was “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears.
