MTV Latin America is also developing a Mexican version of Ridiculousness, a viral video show hosted by Rob Dyrdek that premiered in 2011.
"For 'Ridiculousness,' we know that viral videos are a dime a dozen, so it's all about finding a witty host with good comedic timing and a fresh perspective," Sofia Ioannou, managing director of Viacom International Media Networks for the Americas, told The Hollywood Reporter.
The show is making headlines because viral video shows are incredibly popular these days. The format is reminiscent of America's Funniest Home Videos, and we all know what that did for Bob Sage. Dyrdek and comedian Daniel Tosh have both seen greatly increased fame through the medium.
The key to Ridiculousness Mexico is finding the most charismatic Mexican host around, which will surely result in a future Latino reality star.
