Is this the same person you hinted at back in Player Two Start?
Los Prisioneros. Their 2001 reunion is a few months away.
La Ley, Lucybell, Café Tacuba, Maná, Julieta Venegas, Juanes, Los Tres, Soda Stereo(although they have been separated for years) and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs are other possibilities.
Hmmm.... well, the butterflies will quite possibly prevent Drake and Josh from being made, which butterflies away iCarly. I'm not sure what'll happen to Zoey 101, though it's late enough that there's a good chance it gets butterflied or someone else gets cast as Lola. Victoria Justice is talented enough to end up doing something else (after all, we saw Avan Jogia on GameTV 2.0....)
I imagine when we do the music update we'll be able to slide it in around August or so, so it wouldn't really change that much from what it would have been. And as for Nickelback, to be quite honest they're one of those things that's hard to butterfly away. They might be annoying but they're inexplicably popular.
The Mars Volta probably wouldn't catch on in the mainstream until 2004/2005 at the earliest, probably getting big at the later end of the Latin boom.
She is! She did robotics in high school IOTL believe it or not. She discussed it during one of her Big Hero 6 interviews.
Thanks, I'll consider some of these!
There's a Star Wars update coming up fairly soon, around September 2001 or so. It's going to cover the new games and preview Episode II, but I might discuss the EU in there a bit, and possibly a hint at what TTL's KotOR equivalent could be.
I think if the Vong story arc happens as per OTL and ends in a similar manner, the New Republic/Galactic Alliance era featuring Luke and co should be placed on hold after the resolution of the Vong war. That is because the increasingly darkening of the EU by the Del Rey novels arguably made the movies meaningless(as in Sith destroyed....but then they come back again in Luke's generation) and this kinda killed off enthusiasm for the EU.
I think if you were to end Luke's story at the end of the Unifying Force, the tone is still somewhat upbeat in a bittersweet way because despite Chewie, Anakin Solo and trillions dying the Galaxy has a chance to heal from th Vong War, so it was a case of earn your happy ending trope, but this was reversed with Legacy.
Maybe Del Rey focuses on another era or a Legacy era novel series set centuries after the end of New Jedi Order series with a new generation of characters and a new generation of Sith(the idea is that Luke's generation never had to experience anythign severe after the defeat of the Vong, but everything gets screwed over again decades, if not centuries down the line after the main cast have all died)
Or hell, Del Rey does stories in the new republic

You've more ideas on that regard? you can share it via pm to discuss further, in general EU is so varied that this their strenght but this become insane at times... still Lucas and other writters were to maximist with the whole sith idea, there would be other dark force users who would don't care about sith ideals or maybe more direct political rivals without the force, not for nothing Admiral Thrawn Series was so beloved and i loved a lot the novel Bloodline.
So that can be discussed further on, other star wars fans have more ideas in that regard?

Oh yes, just letting everyone know if you're curious: Spy School is basically Totally Spies and Codename: Kids Next Door put together. It starts out fairly silly but turns a bit more serious/serialized later on. It essentially replaces OTL Teen Titans as the big fandom/fanfic cartoon of the mid-2000s (since the Teen Titans animated series gets butterflied by the live action one that Pyro's referred to in some of his posts).
What's the fandom like? What's the shipping scene? How are the characters perceived?
I wonder how this will affect a certain limey we love, considering you just butterflied one of his main comical punching bags. (Really just assuming that no matter the universe, card games will be unnecessarily important in Yu-Gi-Oh)
Juanes and Julieta Venegas had a few hits here, some years ago. It wouldn't be hard for them to chart in the US in a TL where Latin music is even bigger in the early 2000s than in OTL.
As I've been catching up to this timeline by binge-ing Player Two Start I've been wondering who would be the future GameTV hosts: Yahtzee Croshaw? Felicia Day? Wil Wheaton? Vin Diesel?!? Please tell me that Vin Diesel eventually goes on the show even as a one-off appearance.
Also speaking of Yahtzee I really want this to be a full series ITTL:

Maybe TTL's version of El Duelo features someone who has been heard in the US instead of Ely Guerra.
Witness...La Ley.

Actually we already announced future GameTV's hosts! They are as follows: Avan Jogia, Austin Watson (AKA Xavier Woods, ITTL he doesn't take up wrestling), Mari Takahashi, Bryce Papenbrook, and Christina Grimmie (ITTL, there's no The Voice and she doesn't get shot).
The cowbell skit occurs.
And while we don't want to give away too much about politics, I can assure you, NO Donald Trump in 2016.
