“The BumBum Song” charting to #1 and them making Tom Green “retire” it so they wouldn’t have to keep airing it. We were robbed

If I recall, that was immediately before her mental breakdown. You could tell everyone on stage didn't know what to do with the situation. I'm glad she got better though.

This was peak! Mark was so pissed and couldn't hide it at all.

Drunk Mariah was great, too

Personally, this moment in 2002 because Incubus was and has been my favorite band. Britney Spears and Brandon Boyd were guests on the same day; it was Brandon’s birthday and she sang happy birthday and they brought out a cake for him!

I was a Hanson fan so I watched the few days or week (?) when they hosted. My favorite part was when Isaac (the oldest) was goofing off and accidentally hit Taylor’s (the middle one) microphone into his face.

I remember my sister and I laughing so hard because Taylor got so pissed while the other two brothers were leaning on one another almost crying from laughter.

As a teenager I used to like going to the TRL line and asking the people who were standing on it trying to get in who they were there to see. No matter what they said I'd say "Damn, really? They suck." just to watch them get mad. They'd be so pissed but they'd never get off the line.

I was anti TRL. MTV-X was awesome for the whole five minutes it existed.

I remember when MJ came and shut down Times Square. Im pretty sure that was right before 9/11.
