MTV has canceled the long-running clip show Ridiculousness after 14 years and 46 seasons, marking the end of an era for the network. Hosted by Rob Dyrdek, the series will air its remaining Season 46 episodes through 2026, but no new content will be produced. Reruns and select seasons will continue on MTV and Paramount+.
Announcement Details
The cancellation of Ridiculousness was announced this week, with cast and crew informed that the current season marks the show's final run. According to sources, the decision came directly from MTV's top executives amid efforts to reimagine the network following the Paramount-Skydance merger, which led to widespread layoffs. The show, which premiered in 2011, had been off-air since July and was slated to return in January, but instead, previously produced episodes from Season 46 will continue airing into 2026.
Show History and Hosts
Ridiculousness, a staple of MTV's lineup, featured viral internet clips, fails, and celebrity reactions, amassing nearly 1,700 episodes over its 46 seasons. Rob Dyrdek, a former professional skateboarder and MTV veteran since 2006 with shows like Rob & Big and Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, hosted alongside co-hosts Sterling 'Steelo' Brim and Lauren 'Lolo' Wood. Chanel West Coast, an original co-host, departed in March 2023 after 12 years and 30 seasons. The series also inspired spinoffs including Deliciousness (hosted by Tiffani Thiessen), Messyness (Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi), Adorableness (Alyson Hannigan), and Amazingness.
Future Availability
While no new episodes are planned, previous seasons remain available for streaming on Paramount+, and reruns will stay in MTV's rotation. The network aims to explore fresh formats and creative voices moving forward. TMZ first reported the news, highlighting the end of a major era in MTV programming.
