MTV has canceled its long-running clip show Ridiculousness after 46 seasons and roughly 14 years on air, the network confirmed in reporting first published Oct. 31, 2025; new and previously completed first-run episodes will still air through 2026. The series, hosted by Rob Dyrdek and long used to fill large portions of MTV’s schedule, produced on the order of 1,600–1,700 episodes during its run and became one of the channel’s most ubiquitous titles.
The decision is tied to a strategic programming shift at MTV under its parent company’s reshaping of the network: executives say they are moving toward “a more curated slate” that emphasizes experimental formats and diverse creative voices following recent corporate changes. Industry reporting frames the cancellation as part of broader cost-cutting and a remaking of MTV’s identity rather than a response to a single creative failing.
