TRL END!
MTV’s TRL is coming to an end. TRL Total Request Live ends November after 10 years. TRL has been LALATE’s favorite show on MTV, next to the Osbournes, this last decade.
But the TRL is now set to end.
Are you sad too?
TRL will end during a two hour finale in November says Dave Sirulnick, exec producer, today.
“We want to close this era of `TRL’ in a big celebratory way, and 10 is a great number. 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!”
The TRL finale could include original TRL favorites “folks who helped make `TRL’ what it is — whether that’s Justin (Timberlake) and his guys in N’Sync, the Backstreet Boys, Britney, Eminem — I think we would love to see all of them here.”
MTV says the format is ending for now … but not permanently.
Let’s hope not. The format, the location, the vibe - it was pure to the MTV spirit and tradition.
These are the type of shows we need more of on MTV, less reality shows.
