As one of the newer kids on the block at "TRL," I thought it was amazing to see all the older alumni's enthusiasm and excitement to be back at the studio. It felt like a high school reunion. ... But a really fantastic one.
The energy was exhilarating. I went outside to interview some kids who had been watching "TRL" since they were 10 and had stood outside in the cold all day long to see the stars arrive and watch the old VJs emerge from their cars. Some of them screamed, some cried, but all were there for the same reason: to witness the end of an era.
As I wrote this first part, 10 years of "TRL" history was walking in the door to the afterparty. The VIP room saw the likes of G-Unit, Kid Rock, John Norris, Vanessa Minnillo, Sway, Hilarie Burton (who held my hand on the red carpet outside, hmmm) and tons of other friends of MTV. The party rolled on until at least 3:30 a.m., which is when I left, and it seemed to be nowhere near its close.
