====Post-Carson Daly era====
In 2005, the next generation of ''TRL'' was ushered in as Carson Daly officially stepped down as host to focus on his own talk show, which premiered two years earlier on NBC.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/carson-daly-looks-67039/|title=Carson Daly Looks Back as TRL Counts Down its Final Days|date=November 14, 2008}}</ref> Following Daly's departure, Damien Fahey, Hilarie Burton, Quddus, and La La Vasquez rotated as hosts. Later additions to the hosting roster included [[Vanessa Minnillo]] in 2003, [[Susie Castillo]] in 2005, [[Stephen Colletti]] in 2006, and [[Lyndsey Rodrigues]] in 2007.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ebersole |first1=Leo |last2=Wagner |first2=Curt |title=Whoville |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/chicago-tribune/124827056/ |work=Chicago Tribune |date=September 3, 2003 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Diaz |first1=Johnny |title=Susie Castillo was inspired by her mom |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tribune/124827267/ |work=The Scranton Tribune |date=June 20, 2005 |via=[[Newspapers.com]]}}</ref>

Some changes were made to ''TRL''{{'s}} voting process in 2005. The show previously allowed anyone to vote online several times, but as part of these changes, only registered members of [[MTV.com]] could vote online. Additionally, a limit of one vote per day was added. Then, on July 10, 2006, MTV announced that votes would not be taken by phone, ending the use of the "DIAL MTV" phone number, which had been in use for voting on MTV since the premiere of the countdown show ''Dial MTV'' in the mid-1980s.

In September 2006, ''TRL'' reached its eighth anniversary and, at that point, the show was the longest-running live program that MTV had ever produced. Around this time, it began airing four days a week (Monday through Thursday), instead of all five weekdays. On November 2, 2006, the show introduced what was billed as the first-ever [[hip hop]] [[public service announcement]] on [[global warming]]. The three-minute piece, titled "Trees", warned about deforestation and the dangers of global warming. The video corresponded with MTV's social campaign, ''Break the Addiction'', as part of ''think MTV''.

On May 22, 2007, ''TRL'' celebrated its 2000th episode, showing highlights from the past 2000 episodes, and a special countdown of ten of the most successful videos to ever appear on the show. [[Justin Timberlake]]'s "[[Cry Me a River (Justin Timberlake song)|Cry Me a River]]" topped the special countdown.

By 2008, the only remaining hosts of ''TRL'' were Fahey and Rodrigues. Burton left ''TRL'' in 2004 after joining the cast of [[The WB]]/[[The CW|CW]]'s ''[[One Tree Hill (TV series)|One Tree Hill]]''. Quddus departed in 2006 and became host of ''[[TV One (US TV network)|TV One]] Access''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.linkedin.com/in/quddusphilippe|title=Quddus CV}}</ref> Minnillo left in 2007 and resumed an acting career.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Fromm |first1=Emily |last2=Hamm |first2=Liza |title=MTV's Vanessa Minnillo to Leave 'TRL' |url=https://people.com/celebrity/mtvs-vanessa-minnillo-to-leave-trl/#:~:text=MTV%20host%20Vanessa%20Minnillo%20is,is%2C%20I%20have%20no%20idea. |website=People |date=April 25, 2007}}</ref>
