MTV to end TRL.
MTV executive producers David Sirulnick has confirmed that they will be ending its daily countdown show TRL at the end of November. “We want to close this era of TRL in a big celebratory way, and 10 is a great number,” Sirulnick told the Associated Press. “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.” The picture with this story is of Carson Daly, the first host of the show has left years ago to host a nightly talk show on NBC. No word as to if he will return for old time sake before the show comes to an end.
