Like timber shedding tree bark or the ocean giving up on water, MTV will cancel Ridiculousness, a present that throughout 46 seasons and greater than 1,700 episodes got here to dominate MTV’s programming.
Launched in 2011 and hosted by Rob Dyrdek, Ridiculousness featured panel discussions about viral movies. Because the present took over increasingly of MTV’s schedule, it turned the poster little one for the way social media was consuming the remainder of tradition, as one of many first and most well-known cable tv channels devoted itself to regurgitated clips.
Sources instructed TMZ that dad or mum firm Paramount will “reimagine MTV for the long run.” Based on Variety, MTV will search for new content material that “embraces its experimental DNA” and brings “completely different artistic voices” and “refreshed programming.” However within the meantime, it’s most likely secure to anticipate loads of Ridiculousness reruns.
Shake-ups at MTV have been unfolding for greater than a yr. Final summer time, Paramount buried the MTV News archive, and this yr, earlier than the VMAs, some MTV channels briefly returned to showing music videos.
