To be fair, it was like 75% of MTV's weekly broadcast schedule.

Never heard of the show.

336 episodes a year. That's pretty fricking impressive.

I'm curious to see what MTV does now, since that show is basically all their ever have playing on the channel. Cable is dead anyhow. Anyone with Paramount can stream old MTV shows. But I wonder if Paramount will want to focus more on new and original content? Probably too little too late for MTV.

Same. I know who the host is from his old reality show, but I haven't turned on MTV in at least 15 years. Color me shocked to know there is a show that has been running for 14 years with 336 episodes per year where the host is making $32 mil.

I’m sure it’s been said before, but I feel like they would get a lot of viewers if they’d just air their exact programming schedule from 20-25 years ago. Call it MTVretro or something. Either that, or just air full seasons of stuff like Road Rules/Real World. They have more original content than anyone, and it would be something that people just leave on in the background.

Always liked the clips

Never cared for all the dragged out side banter. Tosh was better IMO

I like Dyrdek, but could never get into Ridiculousness. And I think Tosh hated them for basically copying his show almost completely.

And most definitely RIP to Big Black. I rewatched Rob & Big a year or so ago and it is still hilarious. I loved that show so much.

Exactly. $32 million is chump change when you consider how much they were riding on his show. This was a typical tv schedule for them a few years ago. I mean look at this incredible shite:

What bar did you go to that played MTV Ridiculousness? Maybe the bar in your parents kitchen. Calling BS on this one.
