Early in the final episode of MTV’s video countdown show “TRL” on Sunday night, Carson Daly, one of the hosts, shared a moment of bewilderment and nostalgia with Justin Timberlake and J. C. Chasez of ’N Sync, the megaplatinum boy band that rose along with “TRL” a decade ago...
After 10 years, 2,247 episodes, regular appearances by stars like Madonna and Mariah Carey, and countless Times Square traffic interruptions, “TRL” ended on Sunday with MTV’s version of a New Orleans funeral. For three hours a parade of celebrities and a crowd that never ran out of squeal celebrated the show as both a mirror of pop culture and one of its most powerful engines, an “American Bandstand” for the millennial generation that was just a little too 20th-century to survive the YouTube age. - New York Times
Probably one of the wisest moves MTV has ever made -- except it came 10 years too late.
