Many despise him, credit him for ruining MTV with TRL. However, we all know the demise of the network was some 15+ years ago when a small cancer named The Real World started the beginning of the end for Music Television.
I've lately grown more respect for Daly because he got OUT. I like to theorize that sometime after he left Tara Reid in his rearview mirror and before questioning the integrity of endless WOOOOs at the prospect of a bad cell phone connection phone call with a one hit wonder in the making he knew he had outgrown his life. Daly is rarely, if ever, on the network that made him famous and has carved out a late evening hole for himself on NBC. Bothering nobody, just those that want to tune in and watch whatever "Last Call" transmits.
The same can not be said for John Norris:
Why are you still at MTV John? Do you think you are making a difference? Do you think it keeps you cool? Please don't tell me you were ever cool to anybody. Chris Connolly got out and is a somewhat respected journalist for ABC/ESPN/ETC. You can at least parlay your experience into a Tell-All book or as a featured writer in Rolling Stone.
I saw you on MTV last night hyping up World Aids Day. I can feel your sincerity. Truly, you want to make a positive difference. You can't do it on MTV. Young kids will not vote. they will not buy a condom. And I doubt they can hear you in their non cell phone attached ear.
Take your message elsewhere. How about joining Dan Rather on Mark Cuban's network effort? Now that's surely hip enough for you? Good Luck John.
