MTV Cancels 'Ridiculousness' After 46 Seasons

The move follows a programming reset after the ParamountSkydance merger.

Overview

  • MTV informed cast and crew this week that the current season will be the last for the long-running clip series.
  • No new episodes will be produced, with previously shot first-run installments airing on MTV through 2026 and select seasons streaming on Paramount+.
  • Network leaders plan a more curated slate as Paramount reshapes MTV under Skydance ownership and pursues cost reductions.
  • Coverage cites Bloomberg reporting that host and creator Rob Dyrdek earns at least $32.5 million per year under a high-volume episode deal.
  • The series produced more than 1,700 episodes and dominated MTV’s linear schedule; TheWrap reports producer Superjacket filed for bankruptcy following Skydance’s takeover.
