Ridiculousness has selected a new co-host!

MTV has tapped model and TV personality Lauren “Lolo” Wood as the permanent co-host of the viral clip show, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.

The news comes three months after the network announced longtime host Chanel West Coast was leaving the role to move into executive producing. West Coast — whose real name is Chelsea Chanel Dudley — co-hosted Ridiculousness alongside its creator Rob Dyrdek and Sterling "Steelo" Brim for 30 seasons before announcing her departure in Marhc 2023.

In the interim, the show invited a slew of MTV stars, including B. Simone, Brie "Bella" Garcia, Brittany Elena, Camille Kostek, Carly Aquilino, Draya Michele, Karrueche Tran, Maddy Smith, Madison Beer, Nikki Blades, Nina Agdal, Rachel Wolfson and Teala Dunn to serve as co-host until a permanent replacement was announced.

Before first coming to MTV (and the silver screen!) in 2014 for the celebrity competition series Wild 'N Out, Wood served eight years in the Air Force.

Following her TV debut, the rising star notched several more credits, including an appearance on the Dwayne Johnson-led series Ballers. She's also had several modeling gigs and made appearances on her future home show Ridiculousness.

Wood also shares son Zydn with Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., though sources confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair split in September 2023.

Despite being separated, the pair celebrated their son’s second birthday in a photo posted to Instagram together earlier this year.
