MTV reportedly pulled the plug on their hit show “Ridiculousness” after fourteen years on air.
Sources familiar told TMZ that the move to cut one of the longest-running series in the network’s history was conveyed to the cast and crew this week. Rob Dyrdek, Steelo Brim and their associates were told this season will be the final one, according to the outlet. The network’s executives reportedly made the shocking announcement directly.
“Ridiculousness” paused production in July and was slated to return in January. Already produced first-run episodes will still be broadcasted by MTV through 2026, but the network will not be producing any additional original episodes, sources told TMZ.
Previous seasons will still be broadcasted by MTV and select seasons will reportedly continue to stream via Paramount+.
News of the cancelation marks the end of an era. Dyrdek, Brim and Chanel West Coast kicked off the show in 2011 and it swiftly became a network staple. Chanel West Coast departed in 2023 and was replaced by Lauren “Lolo” Wood in 2024.
“Ridiculousness” ran for 46 seasons throughout its time on the air, according to Us Weekly..
The show featured viral internet videos collected and presented by genre and shown to fans alongside celebrity guest reactions. The move swiftly follows the Paramount Skydance merger, which has led to thousands of layoffs across the firm, TMZ reported.
The show’s hosts have not issued any public comments about the abrupt cancelation of the show.
I think he invested in baseball caps................
LOL. And I think he is contractually obligated to say ridiculousness the way he does, “ri-dic-youless neeessssssss.”
Whatever shall I do without this TV show that I have never heard of?
Last week, I was reminded of why I do not watch TV. I turned on a show called “The Big Bang Theory.” I had heard of it and knew that it was supposed to be a comedy.
I think I did smile once at a line. Overall, it was a waste of my time.
That’s only EMEA.
