It was great being a part of the "TRL" finale. Carson Daly was somebody who really embraced me when I came to MTV in 2000. I was somewhat of an outsider. I came from a different place, and I looked different, with the hair wrap and everything. At the time, Carson gave me some really great advice. He told me to go out there, just have fun and be who I am, and the rest would resonate.

It was great seeing all the original faces, from Carson to Hilarie, Quddus, Lyndsey, La La and Vanessa. Everyone's still really successful and doing their own thing. It was also good to see Snoop, Nelly, Luda, Hilary Duff and all these wonderful folks.

The show was such a tribute to great music and pop culture, and then it became a cultural icon in itself. I'm happy to be a part of "TRL," and being on the finale was a proud moment for me. I had a wonderful time.
