MTV cancels Ridiculousness after 14 years; Rob Dyrdek was making $32 Million/year to host the show

[Elim Garak]

at anyone thinking he was making 32 milly a year for MTV

Yeah I'm sure he's making a lot, but I doubt he's making that much. He has been part of the network for 20 years so I can see him getting big money.

MTV is smart to cancel it. they can simply play the reruns at a fraction of the cost.

and he still gettin paid.


his salary per episode isn't ridiculous, no pun intended, but it's the fact they have SO MANY EPISODES PER YEAR.

32 million/year salary for 14 years instead of paying less money to produce original content and play... music.
All the love for nostalgia, MTV should have done a Retro MTV block if they still own the rights to their original programs from back in the day.
Too many of these cable companies fumblin' all types of bags.



Reason I got rid of cable.

The issue with much of their retro stuff is that it’s generally tied to music they don’t have rights to. That’s why MTV Classic could only just air videos when the mission was to air old shows.

Anything else they do have rights to goes straight to Paramount Plus.

They had time to pivot. Just shut the channel down and give somebody else air time.

I think there is more to it than just saying he makes 32 mill a year
