If they haven't by now, they will cancel than pay them. Pull all new and play repeats.

"he staffers unionized under the writers' strike resolution in September, but the Ridiculousness production has not responded to their negotiation attempts."

Are there different unions for 'unscripted' TV? Why wouldn't they automatically be until the WGA umbrella?

Yet, the audacity, the gumption to just say fuck it to their negotiations and dip.

there's a new episode every day?? 😳 idek what it is, do they just show viral clips or something?

[tralexora]

It's like a cringier America's Funniest Home Videos where they just mine YouTube and TikTok for clips of people getting hurt or pranked and such.

I personally find it painfully unfunny but it's successful so 🤷🏻‍♀️

There’s a ton of money available to throw at him to intro a bunch of clips he doesn’t even choose for his own damn show, the least he can do is to pay his writing room a liveable wage since all he does to earn his paycheck is to read the lines they write for him off the teleprompter.

So, essentially, I can have NOTHING it seems. This show is not good exactly but there's fun moments and it's genuinely perfect to turn my brain off too. I had no idea it needed/had writers but they definitely deserve proper compensation because MTV plays nothing but it, Catfish, Help I'm in a Secret relationship, Love & Hip Hop, That Tami Roman cheaters show and movies from the last 15 - 20 years.
