MTV Cancels Long-Running Show Ridiculousness After 46 Seasons

MTV has officially canceled its long-running comedy clip show "Ridiculousness," which aired for 46 seasons from 2011 to 2025, hosted by Rob Dyrdek along with co-hosts like Steelo Brim and Chanel West Coast. The decision to end the series, which featured viral video critiques and celebrity guests, is part of MTV's strategic shift to a more experimental and creatively diverse programming slate. Although no new episodes will be produced, previously filmed episodes will continue to air through 2026. The cancellation follows broader changes at MTV, including the shutdown of several MTV-branded music channels in Europe by the end of 2025, reflecting a move away from music videos and traditional formats. Fans have expressed disappointment, mourning the show's end as "the end of an era" and questioning how MTV will fill the airtime left by this and other cancellations. The show was a significant part of MTV's lineup, known for its humor and viral video content, and its conclusion marks a notable shift in the network's content strategy.
