I would be a little sadder about TRL ending had I known it was still on the air

According to Variety, MTV’s Total Request Live (the kids, they call it “the TRL”) will end in November after a 10-year run.

Notably, TRL switched to a pre-recorded format in March 2007, thus making a total mockery of the program’s title. I realize now that MTV was sending us a sign that our days of “totally requesting” videos were numbered. Life’s hugest lessons are always only realized in hindsight, I guess. :( :(

Do you guys remember the good ol’ days? Remember munching an after-school snack on the family couch, pretending to do homework? Remember how not-awkward Carson Daly was as TRL’s one true original host? Remember how he completely changed his dialect depending on who the guest was? Like if it was a rapper-guy, he’d be all, “Yo what up dogg, how you been?” and if it was a sweet young blonde thang he’d say “Hello, good day, quite lovely to see you,” and then blatantly gawk at her rack til commercial?



In England, fans petitioned to keep TRL on the air. Do you think the teens & tweens of America will organize some type of pro-TRL revolution also? Should we be nervous, since most American teens & tweens carry guns these days?
