While MTV’s TRL might be breathing it’s last breath this Sunday (November 16th), the series isn’t going out without a bang. The special series finale, titled appropriately, Total Finale Live is set to include a number of celebrity appearances by various bands and singers as well as a handful of VJ’s who will share their thoughts on the show and what it meant to them.
In addition to TRL’s current host Damien Fahey, the original host Carson Daly is also set to appear at the finale. Other VJ’s on the list included Lyndsey Rodrigues, Vanessa Minnillo, Dave Holmes, Jesse Camp, Hilarie Burton, La La Vasquez and Quddus. Beyoncé, 50 Cent, Fall Out Boy and the Backstreet Boys are on the list of performers. Justin Timberlake, Kid Rock, JC Casez, Diddy, Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Hilary Duff, Good Charlotte’s Benji and Joel Madden, Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit fame and Jonathan Davis of Korn will be appearing in the studio. Christina Aguilera and Travis Barker will be joining the show via satellite as the finale plays out in the show’s home base in New York City’s Times Square.
It seems the producers have done a really great job of getting a good group of people together to close out the series. Quite a few of the musicians on that list have benefited from the popularity of the series, especially in its earlier years.
Total Finale Live will air on Sunday, November 16, 2008 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on MTV.
