Come Monday afternoon, the streets of Times Square will be just a tad quieter, or at least it will be outside of 1515 Broadway. After 10 years and more than 2,000 shows, TRL is throwing in the towel Sunday (MTV at 8 pm/ET) with a star-studded blowout bash, dubbed Total Finale Live, before the lights dim.
Once the network's most-watched show, the flagship series is, admittedly, past its heyday. But remember when it was prime daytime, after-school programming? The screams, the fans, the airtime actually devoted to videos, and the screams.
Carson Daly, who departed TRL in 2003 to focus on his NBC talk show, Last Call, will be on hand to emcee the finale festivities, alongside current host Damien Fahey, and a plethora of TRL faves, including Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, the Backstreet Boys, Diddy and 50 Cent. But before he jetted back to his east coast claim to fame, the 35-year-old chatted with TVGuide.com about his earsplitting past, what he thinks of new Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, and which boy band was his favorite.
TVGuide.com: Is it time? You've been gone for five years, but is it time to call it day after 10?
Carson Daly: I think ...

Big Irish family, check. U2 obsession, check. Guinness beer drinker, check. Yes, Carson Daly is a token Irishman. All he needs is the shamrock tattoo. As an ode to his roots, the late-night host rallied beside New Yorkers in Herald Square on Wednesday in support of Proposition 3-17, a nationwide effort to make St. Patrick's Day a national holiday. The goal is to bring one million petitioned signatures before Congress on March 17 to demonstrate that the people have spoken."It would be nice for family to be able to legitimately take the day off to be with each other," says Daly. For the big weekend, a Daly family reunion and barbecue is in the works in L.A. In true Irish tradition, he'll also hit up the local pubs. "I've been known to hoist a pint or two," says Daly with pride. — Perris Richter

Las Vegas hot spot Tao kicked off its two-year anniversary celebration with a birthday party for Vegas-raised late-night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel. "There's no better place for a party than Vegas," his girlfriend Sarah Silverman said. "And since Jimmy's family is already here [living in Vegas], it's perfect." Kimmel himself concurs, "It [was] great to be there, great to be with friends and family."Kimmel — whose week-long daily jaunt between NYC (where in the morning he did Live with Kelly Ripa) and his own Los Angeles-based late-nighter was a huge success — celebrated his 40th with Silverman and 15 family members and friends, including his parents Jim and Joan. Kimmel and party dined on lobster wontons, Kobe beef, and wasabi-encrusted sirloin and drank Tao-tinis. Silverman (who nuzzled with Kimmel throughout the evening and ordered a separate vegetarian meal) surprised Kimmel with two cakes shaped to form a 4-0.A surprise reveler showed up late — fellow late-night ...

NBC has inked a new two-year deal that will keep Carson Daly hosting Last Call, which recently celebrated its five-year anniversary. It was also confirmed that Daly will continue on with his New Year's Eve special, which debuted in 2004. And yet still, I can't read the guy's name without thinking of the four-letter word Jimmy Fallon used to describe him during Saturday Night Live impressions.

America's Next Producer
Get ready for a small-screen smackdown. The 10 contestants on TV Guide Network's new reality series, America's Next Producer (premiering tonight at 8 pm/ET), display attitudes ranging from boastful to breathless. But they all want to get ahead in Hollywood, and they're not afraid to mix it up.
The 10-episode series — the net's biggest original production yet — will search for the next Jerry Bruckheimer or Dick Wolf. But viewers who think a producer is the fat cat behind a desk writing checks will learn that that image is far from reality. "In the past, producers delegated a lot," says Last Call host Carson Daly, who delivers the

After achieving teen-idol status as the iconic VJ of MTV's Total Request Live, Carson Daly replaced afternoons with late nights in 2002 as host of Last Call with Carson Daly (1:35 am/ET, on NBC). We spoke with the 33-year-old Daly, whose show celebrates five years on the air this week.
TV Guide: Very few talk shows last this long. What's your secret?Daly: It's amazing to look back. In the beginning, people [said], "You're buried in the middle of the night. No one's ever going to watch." And that ended up being the secret, I think. It was a place for me to learn this whole new craft. Conan [O'Brien] gave me great advice: "Have fun and screw up a lot. You might not always have this arena to find your voice." I've been really lucky the network has
