MTV put the fork in its long-running (10 years) video countdown show TRL (Total Request Live) on Sunday with a live 2 1/2 hour finale from Times Square.

The show featured the return of slimmed-down host Carson Daly (ease up on the Nutrisystem, kid), and appearances by Christina Aguilera, Hilary Duff, Justin Timberlake, Kid Rock and Diddy (who's in the record books for making 37 total appearances on the show).

Among the stars who performed were  Fall Out Boy, Ludacris, and 50 Cent.  Sasha Fierce Beyonce rocked her two new singles and tossed out TRL favorite "Crazy In Love" for the screaming fans. The Backstreet Boys belted out the TRL classic "I Want It That Way."

Kid Rock and Snoop Dogg passed around a cigar, Diddy teared, and even Eminem called in!

"I feel like they're tearin' down my home," the Detroit-based rapper lamented.

Long known for showing ten second clips of videos as screaming and crying tweens threw themselves on the sidewalk outside its Times Square studio, the show will be missed.

Especially since it's official that MTV, the network built on music videos, will totally be without videos now.

Quotables /
“The finale featured numerous stars who helped celebrate the close of the 10-year music countdown series.”
Concrete Loop
“Because now, the show has gone bye-bye. Shaking her groove-thang, Beyoncé Knowles was just one of a group of celebrities who performed for the final episode of Total Request Live entitled Total Finale Live.”
Socialite Life
“Beyonce performs during MTV';s TRL “Total Finale Live; at the MTV studios in Times Square on Sunday in New York City.”
Just Jared
“Vanessa Minnillo looked stunning (and almost good enough to cuddle) as posed for the cameras at the TRL finale wrap party for cast and crew.”
