Ridiculousness was axed after 46 seasons and 14 years of laughs at MTV

Ridiculousness was axed after 46 seasons and 14 years of laughs at MTV

MTV has canceled Ridiculousness after 14 years and 46 seasons, ending its most syndicated show. While reruns will continue until 2026, no new episodes will be produced. The cancellation follows financial disputes and aims to refresh MTV’s content strategy. The show ‘Ridiculousness’ hosted by Rob Drydek has been canceled after 46 seasons. MTV has officially canceled its long-running comedy sketch show Ridiculousness after an extraordinary 14-year run and 46 seasons, marking the end of an era for the network’s most syndicated show. MTV show Ridiculousness canceled The series, hosted by former professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek, will continue to air previously filmed first-run episodes into 2026, but no new installments will be produced after Season 46. The show’s reruns will remain part of MTV’s schedule, while select seasons will continue to stream on Paramount+. According to a source familiar with MTV’s decision, the network – part of the Paramount Global group – aims to have “a more curated slate of content” that better reflects “its experimental DNA” and showcases “diverse creative voices.” However, it remains unclear whether this move signals a broader reduction in MTV’s heavy reliance on Ridiculousness as core programming. MTV paid Ridiculousness host Rob Dyrdek at least $32 million annually. The cancellation comes shortly after Bloomberg reported that MTV was paying Dyrdek at least $32.5 million a year, according to court filings. His earnings reportedly included a $21,000-per-episode executive producer fee and a $61,000-per-episode on-camera fee, which adds up quickly given the show’s 336-episode-a-year production schedule. Under existing contractual terms, that figure could have risen to $45 million annually if the show continued in 2028 and 2029. Despite its commercial success, the show’s producer, Superjacket Productions, and its affiliates filed for bankruptcy last month amid a dispute with creditors. The bankruptcy proceedings shed new light on the enormous profitability of Ridiculousness for Dyrdek and its production entities. Learn more about ridiculousness With over 1,700 episodes, Ridiculousness is one of MTV’s longest-running shows. Over the years, reruns have dominated the network’s linear lineup, with the show reportedly taking up to 113 hours a week out of the 168-hour broadcast schedule, effectively crowding out original and music-focused content. The series’ saturation of MTV’s programming schedule made it both a consistent ratings performer and a symbol of the network’s creative stagnation—what some critics called the “zombie-fication” of MTV. Representatives for Paramount declined to comment on the decision, and requests for comment from Dyrdek’s legal team, Superjacket Productions, and his creditors went unanswered. As MTV looks to reinvent its brand for the next decade, the end of Ridiculousness closes a defining, if controversial, chapter in its modern history.

Working together for Information Integrity

An IFLA event on 7 March 2024 at 14.00 UTC (the same as GMT/UK time) is Working together for Information Integrity: the Role of Libraries in Europe. Speakers are Divina Frau-Meigs @divinameigs (Media Sociologist, Sorbonne University, France); Paul Kilkenny (Assistant Principal, Digital Policy Analyst, Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Ireland); Sherri AldisDirector, UN Regional Information Centre, Brussels, Belgium) and Ertugrul Cimen (Chair, IFLA Europe Regional Division Committee, Turkey)
“We are at a time of growing awareness of both the opportunities that advances in knowledge bring, and the threats of inaccurate or harmful speech. In this context, the UN Secretary General, already in 2021, highlighted the importance of information integrity as a key determinant of success in wider policy efforts. This work is advancing rapidly towards publishing a UN Code of Conduct on Information Integrity in the coming months, which will address mis- and disinformation, hate speech, and protecting ourselves and our communities from harmful content.
“Libraries meanwhile have long focused on how to ensure that users have the possibility to access high-quality information, and the skills to appreciate and use it. This experience and expertise, as well as their reach across societies, makes them powerful potential partners in advancing this agenda.”
It addresses the questions: What does information integrity mean? What are the key issues and questions behind the upcoming UN Code of Conduct on the topic? How are libraries impacted by mis- and disinformation? What can we learn from each other to counter this? How can libraries realize their potential to contribute, at all levels, to building a healthy information environment?

The subsequent landslide this time completely blocked the road, with material thickness reaching 50-80 cm. “Yesterday afternoon, a small landslide blocked part of the road and it was cleared this afternoon. However, this afternoon the landslide was bigger and bigger again, so it completely blocked the road,” he explained. A joint team with local residents was deployed to open road access.

Commemorating the sacrifice of the ninth Guru of the Sikh tradition, Guru Teg Bahadur, Sarkaryavah said in his statement that on the 350th year of his sacrifice, many programs are organized with reverence and respect by the entire society of India, including various religio-social organizations. The true tribute to him would be to convey the teachings of this shining star of Indian tradition and the importance of his self-sacrifice to all. There is a need to take inspiration from his life. He said that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh appeals to the entire society including all the volunteers to build their lives by remembering his ideals and guidance and to participate with devotion in all the programs organized this year.
