Trump's Demands, Mariah's Meltdown, Anthrax Scares: An Oral History of 'TRL' Billboard Billboard. On Sept. 1. 4, 1. MTV’s Total Request Live debuted, airing from a glass- box studio hanging above New York’s Times Square. There was no studio audience, no fans waiting outside carrying imploring signs. The glory days of ’9. American Bandstand for a new generation, hosted by a neo- Dick Clark in black nail ­polish named Carson Daly. Fans would vote on their favorite clips by phone and email, and the top 1.

But within six months, TRL became appointment after- school TV, its studio at 1. Broadway a pop- culture fishbowl where rabid teens could catch a glimpse of their favorite stars (when the Backstreet Boys or 'N Sync would drop by, the police would have to shut down Times Square). The thrill of the show was built into its name: It was live, so ­anything could happen. Eminem teased a post- Funky Bunch Mark Wahlberg on- air. Sean “Diddy” Combs spent an entire hour running on a treadmill, while Britney Spears stood by with a hand towel.

Our co-director Gabriel Clarke sat down to discuss passion, paranoia and lost film footage with Hollywood Reporter: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cannes-2015.

In one of the show’s most infamous moments, Mariah Carey came by with an ice cream cart, apparently unannounced, to promote Glitter, rambling, “I just wanted one day off when I could go swimming and look at rainbows and eat ice cream and maybe, like, learn how to ride a bicycle.” (A week later, she was hospitalized for exhaustion.)When Daly departed his post in 2. VJs kept the show thriving. But with the advent of You. Tube in 2. 00. 5, TRL’s viewership sagged, falling below 4. Nielsen. (The “unscripted” series The Hills, meanwhile, was getting 4 million ­viewers - - a harbinger of where MTV was headed.) After 1. TRL went off the air on Nov. 1.

BSB! Snoop! Korn!). In advance of the relaunch on Oct. VJs, along with members of core TRL acts like 'N Sync, Destiny’s Child and blink- 1. Daly- stalkers, Eminem’s tears, Mariah’s meltdown and all the moments that made TRL- - in the words of Korn’s Jonathan Davis - - “just a cool- ass time.”IN THE BEGINNINGJC Chasez (’N Sync): Every generation has their Soul Train or American Bandstand. And TRL was the biggest show in music television. Brian Mc. Fayden (VJ/MTV News anchor 1. Call it “the frosted- tips era.”Bob Kusbit(co- creator/executive producer; MTV senior vp production): When I said Carson should host, there was silence in the room.

He was too white bread for a lot of the brass. There had been talk of, “Let’s get Chris Rock to host it!”Tony Di. Santo (co- creator/executive producer; MTV president of programming): Some people thought Carson was just another Simon Rex. The Times Square studio had been a bank. It was unorthodox. There were sound issues when The Lion King was playing matinees on Wednesdays.

Kusbit: At first, we didn't have a studio ­audience. It was more like Wayne’s World. We had to beg people to request videos.

Then suddenly, someone shows up with a sign: “Carson, bring me up to the studio!” In the control room, we’re like, “Carson, bring him up!” The next week, there are 1. Then 4. 0. Deb Savo (senior producer): At 8 a. I’d check this fax machine for the 1- 8. People would say, “It’s rigged!” I was like, “Listen, you can wake up at 7 a. Dave Holmes (VJ, 1. The ­timing was just perfect. If the pop and rock moment had still been bands like Fastball and Semisonic, I don’t know that the show would have exploded.

But suddenly, there are all of these young personalities that our audience is interested in. Savo: It got to the point where the city was like, “What the hell is going on between 4. Street every day at 3 o’clock?”Chasez: It was great for the ego.

You felt like a dignitary. Kusbit: Six months after we launched, when the Backstreet Boys came, there were 5,0. Times Square. The police told us to lower our blinds because kids were ­backing up into traffic to try and get a view into the studio.

Shawn Witt (production assistant and, later, showrunner, 2. Eminem had an Eminem lookalike called Partial Mathers.

They would use him as a decoy, then scoot Eminem into the car. Chop Online Putlocker on this page. Kusbit: Here’s the dirty secret: The glass was not bulletproof. Bulletproof glass costs so much more.

Anytime all these people went and stood in the window, you would sort of hold your breath. A CULTURAL JUGGERNAUTDavid George (production assistant and, later, executive producer, 1. You never knew who would pop by or who might be talking to each other. Damien Fahey (VJ, 2. Eminem was on for 8 Mile [in 2. He had the No. 1 album in the country and the No. 1 movie.

Times Square had to be shut down. There were, like, 1. Lauren Waters (casting assistant, then ­casting director, 2. He started to tear up. This tough guy was so touched that all of his fans had come.

Susie Castillo (VJ, 2. Mariah Carey would show up with her own lighting crew. Bruce Willis showed up in a cab - - like, he took a yellow cab to the studio by himself. Savo: Britney Spears came to the show with her mom and younger sister. We were like, “Who’s the fan who got past security?”Fahey: I remember Taylor Swift came with her mom, when she wasn't Taylor Swift yet.

They had a couple of Flip cams, and they were geeking out, goofing around. La La Anthony, née Vasquez (VJ, 2. Le. Bron James came on when he hadn't started his rookie year. I remember him being so in awe - - like, “Wow, I made it.

I’m on TRL.”Kusbit: Harrison Ford wanted to come on. We were all massive fans, but we knew the kid who wanted to see Justin Timberlake might not buy into Harrison. Paul Scheer (comedian; creator of the web spoof Scheer- RL): The most ­awkward one was Céline Dion. You watch, and the ­audience is just not into her at all.

She’s making jokes, like a dad who’s like, “Hey, guys! I drink beer too!”Holmes: We were supposed to do a whole hour based around Prince.

He showed up 1. 0 minutes before the show was over, with an entourage including one huge guy who held an empty tub of like, cheeseballs, but with a sign on it that said, "Swear Jar." If you took the Lord's name in vain, you had to put coins in. Carson said to [Prince], “We were ­expecting you a little earlier, so there’s a lot we have to get through. We don’t have a lot of time.” And Prince said, “I don’t use time.” Carson, to his credit, said, “So what do you use?” Prince paused for a moment and then said, “Truth.”Castillo: The photo booth was a rite of passage. George: Everybody went into that thing.

Arizona Sen.] John Mc. Cain was in there. One time, I look down at the monitor and Jewel is in the photo booth with her shirt off. Michelle Williams (Destiny’s Child): The photo booth! Beyoncé knew how to cross her eyes. And I stuck out my tongue. Somebody stuck up the middle finger.

We were being bad little girls. Vinnie Potestivo (director of talent and series development, 1. I’d hang out backstage or in the green room because I was trying to make relationships with talent we could build shows around. I met Beyoncé when she would visit with Destiny’s Child. She didn’t want to be a VJ - - trust me, I tried - - but she did want to get into acting. Which led to her first major role in MTV’s Carmen: A Hip Hopera. Fahey: In early 2.

Tom Cruise came by, and he was really into Joss Stone. He was backstage meeting everyone, and in every room he just talks about Joss Stone. The next afternoon, this giant box full of Joss Stone CDs arrives with a note, like, “Check it out. Love, Tom Cruise.”Anthony: Tom Cruise asked me to teach him how to dance to hip- hop on the air. I think I was smacking his butt, or he was smacking mine. Fahey: Donald Trump came once for The Apprentice.

For the cold open, we were shooting a comedy bit - - I think he was firing the camera guy. Before we started, Trump goes, “No, no, no. This isn’t ­happening. I need that camera to stand on an apple box. I don’t like a low camera.” He said something about how it didn't make him look good. I remember this phrase specifically: “I’m a guy who likes a high camera.” That’s not a thing.

He was a total egomaniacal monster. THE THRILL OF LIVE TVScheer: If it happened, it wasn’t going on Twitter or You.
