Scheer-RL Relives When TRL Did a Sit Down with Marilyn and When an Uninvited Mariah Carey Came with a Popsicle Cart

Paul Scheer’s Scheer-RL continues to roll out with recreating some of the crazier moments that have happened on any sort of show, much less a music video countdown show like Total Request Live.

These latest episodes recount the times when Marilyn Manson, played by here Brett Gelman, fielded weird questions from Carson Daly and audience members about his controversial music and when Mariah Carey, played by Kumail Nanjiani, just bizarrely showed up without any prior booking or invitation along with a popsicle cart right before they cut to commercial.

Though exaggerated, stuff like Mariah interrupting TRL really did happen and Scheer-RL does well in playing up what many of us were thinking when that was happening live.

Paul Scheer Is Now Re-creating Episodes of TRL Called “Scheer-RL”

This first one is a doozy with Ryan Hansen and Thomas Middleditch playing members 98 Degrees.

Remember when Paul Scheer recreated some of the craziest moments on The Arsenio Hall Show from the 90s and called it “The ArScheerio Paul Show”?

Well, Paul’s giving hit music video countdown show Total Request Live the same treatment on JASH as Scheer-RL, though, this time he’s getting a little more creative with the recreations rather than exactly reenacting what happened.

This first episode features one of the more awkward appearances on TRL with the boy band 98 Degrees, exaggerated perfectly.

Looks Like Paul Scheer Will Be Reenacting Episodes of “TRL”

Paul Scheer already did a bang up job reenacting The Arsenio Hall Show with the ArScheerio Paul Show, so it would make complete sense that he would do reenact another 90s show where things were live and could go awry.

From this tweet/picture above, it looks like that MTV’s TRL, or Total Request Live, is going to get the same treatment as SRL from Scheer, JASH, and director Payman Benz. 

Hopefully, if this is all of what they’re up to, they will hopefully reenact that one time Mariah Carey crashed the studio live on air, unannounced with a popsicle cart.
