Popular music show will sign off with two-hour special

MTV’s "Total Request Live" is leaving the air after 10 years of videos, special music guests, and poppy live performances for the teenybopper crowd.

According to the Associated Press, "TRL’s" executive producer Dave Sirulnick says the show isn’t ending completely, but by November it’s having a final farewell with a two-hour special. Sirulnick says it was time to give the show, which debuted in 1998, a break.
