MTVU Stand In

MTVU Stand In was a reality competition series that aired on MTVU, a college-focused channel. The show sought to find a replacement host for the popular MTV show Total Request Live (TRL). Contestants competed in various challenges related to music, pop culture, and hosting skills, all aiming to impress judges and earn the coveted spot as the next TRL VJ.
