Warm Body in the TRL Graveyard
Had this cold open approved for today's show:

(CLOSE-UP ON JAMIE FOXX ARM-WRESTLING. WE CAN'T SEE WHO IS OPPONENT IS, BUT HE IS OBVIOUSLY STRUGGLING)

JAMIE
-DAMN, WHAT YOU BEEN EATIN' ON THAT ISLAND?

(PULL OUT TO REVEAL HIS OPPONENT IS MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ FROM "LOST." SHE FINALLY SLAMS HIS HAND DOWN)

MICHELLE
-THAT ALL YOU GOT?

JAMIE
-OH PLEASE GIRL, I LET YOU WIN

MICHELLE
-WANNA GO AGAIN?

JAMIE
-NO CAN DO
-TRL STARTS NOW

Then it turned out that we need to be selling our big online show (as in we've got live content running on both TV and on trl.mtv.com today) in the open, so this got killed.

Speaking of killed (don't read if you haven't watched last night's Lost and plan to!!!!), great job by the show of killing off 2 major characters. Nicely done! And for once, the rumors got it right.

One final TRL note... Time Out New York, thanks for promoting Friday's show in this week's issue:
Total Request Live 3:30–4:30pm, MTV
True, Disney World is awfully popular with victorious Super Bowl quarterbacks, but if we were about to graduate from high school we’d rather go somewhere less tame. Be that as it may, the kids who attend TRL’s graduation event at the Orlando theme park probably won’t look their gift horse in the mouth. Fall Out Boy, Omarion, Teddy Geiger and the Pussy Cat Dolls provide the entertainment for the grand finale of the show’s annual high-school week.
Next time, please get your facts right. The show isn't happening at Disney World. That event was Grad Nite 2006, which doesn't have anything to do with TRL except that we filmed there. The Pussycat Dolls have nothing to do with it. We're actually running that package today, not tomorrow.
But again, we appreciate the love.
