Thankfully, for fans who are sad to see the series—which reviewed the best viral videos the internet had to offer—go, the sources confirmed all previous seasons of the series will continue to air on MTV, with select seasons available on Paramount+.

Rob was joined on the series by cohosts Sterling “Steelo” Brim, Lauren “Lolo” Wood and previously Chanel West Coast, who announced she’d be leaving the series in March 2023.

After her exit, Chanel shared insight into her decision to pursue independent projects. 

“I’ve been manifesting this since I was a little girl,” she explained. “I have video clips when I was a kid being like, ‘This is my TV show. It’s better than MTV and VH1.’ And I was saying that when I was eight, so we’ve really manifested where we are now.”

After Chanel announced her departure, Ridiculousness penned an homage to the longtime host.
