MTV Ends ‘Ridiculousness’ After 14-Year Run
MTV has officially ended “Ridiculousness,” a show that has been a cornerstone of its programming for 14 years. This announcement marks the conclusion of one of the longest-running series in MTV’s history.
Key Details of “Ridiculousness” Cancellation
Sources revealed the cancellation decision was shared with the cast and crew earlier this week. “Ridiculousness” has produced over 900 episodes across more than 30 seasons since its debut in 2011.
Future of the Show’s Content
- The current season will be the last for original episodes.
- Previously recorded first-run episodes will still air on MTV through 2026.
- Classic episodes will remain available for streaming on Paramount+.
Despite the cancellation, fans of the show can continue to enjoy its earlier seasons. The clip show format featured viral internet fails and celebrity guest reactions, solidifying its place as a staple in MTV’s lineup.
Changes at MTV
The cancellation of “Ridiculousness” comes amid significant changes at MTV, including a restructuring following the Paramount and Skydance merger, which has led to numerous layoffs. MTV is focusing on reimagining its future with new programming ideas and creative voices.
Hosts and Legacy
The show was hosted by Rob Dyrdek, Steelo Brim, and Lauren “Lolo” Wood. Chanel West Coast, a co-host since the show’s launch, departed in March 2023 after 30 seasons. This marks not only the end of a series but also a significant shift in MTV’s historic programming era.
