SHOW
DESCRIPTION
British model-turned-TV personality Alexa Chung hosts this one-hour weekday entertainment show, which in effect replaces the former MTV stalwart ``Total Request Live.'' Chung, though, doesn't recite a countdown; instead, she leads a loose talk show format inspired by late-night programming, with a heavy focus on audience participation through a collaboration with Facebook and Twitter. There is also live performances, whether they be from the hottest music stars or the latest YouTube sensations displaying their singing, dancing or other off-the-wall talents.
