MTV has decided to end production of Ridiculousness, marking the conclusion of a significant era for the network. Although the show was paused in July with plans for a January return, MTV has opted not to produce new episodes. Instead, it will air completed episodes through 2026, with throwback seasons also available on Paramount+.
Since its debut in 2011, Ridiculousness has become a staple of MTV’s programming. Hosted by Rob Dyrdek, with Steelo Brim and Lauren “Lolo” Wood, the show ran for over 900 episodes, featuring viral video fails and celebrity reactions. However, with social media offering endless viral content, the show’s format feels less relevant in today’s entertainment landscape.
The cancellation follows the recent, controversial Paramount-Skydance merger, which has already led to several layoffs. Last month, MTV also announced the end of Catfish after nine seasons.
