Well, this is ridiculousness. MTV<\/a> canceled the clip show Ridiculousness after 14 years and 1,700 episodes, per Variety<\/a>. Hosted by Rob Dyrdek, the clip show of various online fail videos featured commentary by Steelo Brim, Chanel West Coast, and a rotating cast of comedians. On a typical day, MTV will play anywhere between 20 and 30 episodes of the show, using random episodes to eat up half its daily scheduling. Sources tell Variety reruns will continue to air and the show will put out already-taped episodes into 2026, but the network will produce nothing new.<\/p>\n

The cancellation follows the sale of MTV\u2019s parent company, Paramount, to Skydance and Larry Ellison on August 7. Since then, Ellison has brought Bari Weiss to lead CBS News<\/a>, fired about 2,000 staffers<\/a>, and now canceled the bedrock of MTV\u2019s programming. According to Variety, the end of Ridiculousness comes as the new regime plans for\u00a0MTV to embrace \u201cits experimental DNA\u201d with programming that showcases \u201cdifferent creative voices.\u201d Dyrdek was on track to increase his deal from $32 million to $45 million by 2029<\/a>, according to bankruptcy documents recently filed by the show\u2019s production company, Superjacket. \u201cDifferent\u201d does include cheaper creative voices.<\/p>\n
