Ridiculousness” has been canceled at MTV after 14 years and 46 seasons.
The comedy clip series, hosted by Rob Dyrdek, will continue into 2026 with previously shot first-run episodes, but no new episodes will be produced moving forward.
Season 46 will be the last installment of the series as reruns continue to air on MTV and select seasons stream on Paramount+..
Snd this could signal further evidence that MTV is also just about ending .. writing is on the wall..
In a cultural way it also may signal that the funny video era is also ending !! Ai fakery with chiropractors and faux Mr Rogers abound on social media.
He future is fake. Real videos are dead along with 56 seasons of Ridiculousness..
TV Shockwave: CBS Reportedly Cancels The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
There’s some major entertainment news shaking the foundations of late-night television tonight—an unexpected earthquake in TV land.
According to breaking reports, CBS has decided to pull the plug on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. That’s right—after nearly a decade as the network’s flagship late-night program and the successor to David Letterman’s legendary run, Colbert’s version of The Late Show is being axed.
While nothing has been officially confirmed by CBS as of this posting, the rumors are swirling—and they’re not coming out of thin air.
The move reportedly comes at a time when late-night TV is facing major scrutiny from network executives, particularly in the increasingly politicized media landscape. Colbert, known for his biting and unapologetic commentary, has long been a thorn in the side of conservative viewers—and a hero to many others. But it seems the winds may be shifting.
There’s also speculation that Jon Stewart, who currently hosts The Daily Show once a week on Comedy Central, might not be far behind. Both Comedy Central and CBS fall under the Paramount Global umbrella—soon to be under new ownership by Skydance Media, led by David Ellison.
And here’s where things get interesting: Ellison, the Hollywood power player behind Skydance, has reportedly expressed some fascination with the political messaging of none other than Donald Trump. That alone has raised eyebrows, considering both Colbert and Stewart have made careers out of dismantling Trump’s every move with wit, satire, and relentless energy.
Is this a coincidence? A calculated shift? Or a warning shot for late-night hosts with strong political leanings?
One thing’s for sure—this story is developing fast, and it could mark a major turning point for late-night television as we know it.

Lorne Michaels.. head in hands.. looking at these latest ratings. But perhaps he’d be better wondering if the funny is just not funny.
There has been this common consensus lately that “comedy” does not need to equal laughs, just social lessons.
Ratings tell a different story..
Last night’s telecast of Saturday Night Live with host Rami Malek and musical guest Young Thug drew a 3.4 household Live + Same Say rating in the 44 metered local markets and 1.3 in 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.
That was down last week’s show, hosted by Kim Kardashian West with musical guest Halsey (3.8, 1.6). Last night’s telecast, which featured surprise appearances by Malek’s No Time To Die co-star Daniel Craig, matched the all-time demo low in the LPM markets posted by the last two episodes of SNL’s Season 46 as well as the Season 47 premiere two weeks ago. It set a new low in metered market households.
In other words.. few are watching besides the clips on Youtube..
Shocking entertainment news dropped this afternoon with the decision to NOT air the awards show in 2022..
The network released the following statement Monday:
“We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”
The decision follows months of criticism of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for a lack of diversity among its members, as well as ethical lapses…
Perhaps it will be the dogecoiners that bring in big ratings, but undoubtedly there will have been a number of new viewers of SNL last night thanks to Elon Musk hosting..
He delivered a self deprecating monologue ..
Musk began by thanking the audience and saying what an “honor” it was to be hosting SNL.
“I mean that,” he quipped, making fun of his own voice. “Sometimes after I say something I have to say ‘I mean that.’ So people really know that I mean it already, that’s because I don’t always have a lot of intonation or variation in how I speak — which I’m told makes for great comedy.”
“I’m actually making history tonight as the first person with Asperger’s to host SNL — or at least the first to admit it,” Musk continued, publicly mentioning that he has the condition for the first time. “So I won’t make a lot of eye contact with the cast tonight. But don’t worry, I’m pretty good at running ‘Human’ in emulation mode.”
“Look, I know I sometimes say or post strange things but that’s just how my brain works,” Musk explained. “To anyone I’ve offended, I just want to say, I reinvented electric cars, and I’m sending people to Mars on a rocket ship — Did you think I was also going to be a chill, normal dude?”
He brought up how people were often “reduced to the dumbest thing they ever did,” which, for him, was smoking weed on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
“And now all I hear all the time is, ‘Elon Musk, all he ever does is smoke weed on podcasts.’ Like I go from podcast to podcast lighting up joints. It happened once. It’s like reducing O.J. Simpson to ‘Murderer.’ It happened one time!”
“Fun fact,” Musk continued. “O.J. Also hosted this show in ’79. And again in ’96. Killed both times.”
