What is confirmed about the show now?
The appointment is a historical 2024 announcement, and current co-host status should not be inferred from it alone. Paramount Global Content’s series listing, reviewed October 8, 2026, describes Ridiculousness as an MTV reality series featuring Rob Dyrdek and Steelo Brim, lists seasons 1–49 and 1,868 total episodes, gives February 11, 2026 as the season 49 premiere, and says the show was renewed for season 50. Its synopsis does not name Wood. The official listing is available at Paramount Global Content.
