Rudy Giuliani Rang in Y2K New Year's Eve With MTV By Stephen Douglas Rudy was actually a staple at MTV NYE festivities. | Scott Gries/Getty Images Since it is New Year's Eve, I was thinking about Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life"), which has been an event staple for more than two decades now. They performed the song on MTV on New Year's Eve back in 1998 when Carson Daly was dating Jennifer Love Hewitt. Yes, this was a very long time ago. My point was, this song that turned into a prom song was actually inspired by the original, good riddance part of the title. Thank god this is over. Perfect for 2020. Here's a bad VHS version of it, featuring the aforementioned Daly - JLH couple. There's a slightly better version on YouTube without Carson, but it just lacks the authenticity.
