The show, hosted by Rob Dyrdek and featuring a series of viral videos and commentary from Dyrdek and his co-hosts, will end in 2026 after 15 years, 46 seasons and some 1,700 episodes. MTV has stopped making the show, though previously produced new episodes will continue to roll out into next year. Ridiculousness has been almost literally inescapable on MTV in the past several years, with marathons of the show occupying half or more of the channel's daily schedule. Repeats will continue to air on MTV, and some seasons are also available on Paramount+.

Sources say parent company Paramount Skydance is looking to embrace a more "curated" slate of programming that harkens back to the channel's more experimental early days. Ridiculousness premiered in August 2011 and quickly became a staple for MTV. It also spawned clip-show spinoffs Deliciousness (food), Adorableness (cute things) and Messyness (generalized cringe) and a talent competition called Amazingness. Last year, Ridiculousness writers unionized with the Writers Guild of America West, with Dyrdek's support. At publication time, MTV was in the midst of a 12-hour block of Ridiculousness episodes, with 10-hour and 11-hour marathons scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
