MTV Is Bringing Back Total Request Live! – Here’s The Details On MTV TRL 2017

Originally hosted live from New York City by Carson Daly, the MTV TRL revival will premiere October 2nd and will introduce viewers to new talent, including rapper and comedian DC Young Fly and Erik Zachary, a radio host for 103.5 KISS FM in Chicago. A newly renovated studio facing Times Square will be bigger and better!

Total Request Live was a staple on MTV from 1998-2008 –it was a daily destination for all music and pop culture. TRL became a huge hit among MTV viewers with Carson Daly as host. It was the place to be for an artist dropping a new album or going on tour! The show welcomed special guests, who would stop by to give interviews, clear up rumors, and debut their new music videos. The show was taped live, and fans never knew what to expect or who might show up. A group of fans was permitted in the studio during the live taping, and an even bigger crowd would gather outside of the studio. VJs interacted outside with the crowd to gauge reactions about videos, celebrities and other pop culture topics.
Now, the unforgettable New York-based program is returning.
