More from the TRL Graveyard

An aborted cold open to air last Friday that was filmed and partially edited before being killed for a cut open focusing on Eminem's new video, "Like Toy Soldiers."

(DAMIEN IS STANDING ON STAGE, CHEERING KIDS BEHIND HIM. THE STAGE MANAGER STARTS COUNTING DOWN)

STAGE MANAGER
-LIVE IN 5, 4, 3, 2…

(DAMIEN'S CELL-PHONE RINGS, AND HE TAKES IT OUT, MOUTHING "ONE SEC" TO THE STAGE MANAGER)

DAMIEN
-HEY, WHAT'S UP?
-NO, DON'T WORRY, I CAN TOTALLY TALK NOW

(GRAPHIC & SOUND-UP: "IT'S INCONSIDERATE CELL-PHONE VJ")

(DAMIEN IS LOUNGING IN A CHAIR BACKSTAGE, TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH HIS FEET UP ON A DESK. A CREW GUY CARRYING A BIG BOX TRIES TO WALK BY BUT DAMIEN WON'T PUT HIS FEET DOWN TO LET HIM PASS)

DAMIEN
-I SWEAR, THE CLOUD WAS SHAPED JUST LIKE MY GRANDMA

CREW GUY
-EXCUSE ME, CAN I GET BY?

DAMIEN
-(TO CREW GUY) HELLO, I'M ON THE PHONE...
-(INTO PHONE) SOME PEOPLE!

(GRAPHIC & SOUND-UP: "SO INAPPROPRIATE")

(VANESSA IS DOING A READ, AND DAMIEN WANDERS AIMLESSLY THROUGH THE SHOT)

DAMIEN
-SO THE DUCK HAD IT THE WHOLE TIME?
-THAT'S HILARIOUS!

(GRAPHIC & SOUND-UP: "DON'T BE AN INCONSIDERATE VJ... PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CELL-PHONES WHEN HOSTING TRL")
