Say Goodbye to MTV’s Total Request Live
After 10 years on air, an MTV program supposedly dedicated to videos will be going on an indefinite break.
Today, Dave Sirulnick, the executive producer for TRL, announced the long-running series will be coming to a close. The show, which debuted in 1998 with host Carson Daly, will get a two-hour sendoff on a Saturday sometime in November.
In the past decade, the daily countdown show has welcomed a countless list of stars and accommodated hordes of screaming girls. Unfortunately, interest in the program starting waning around the time Daly moved on to late-night pastures. Last year, the network decided to air only 4 installments a week (down from 5) after seeing a decrease in viewers.
According to Sirulnick, Total Request Live’s departure may not necessarily be a permanent one. It was simply agreed that the show was in need of a “break.” Maybe MTV will eventually revisit the format once they start caring about videos again?
