Rob Dyrdek has addressed the cancellation of his long-running MTV series, Ridiculousness, which aired for an impressive 46 seasons. Although the series will continue to broadcast new episodes until 2026, no additional episodes will be produced following the announcement. Just one day prior to this news, reports indicated that Dyrdek earned approximately $32.5 million annually from the show.
In a heartfelt video message shared on social media, Dyrdek expressed his gratitude to fans and acknowledged the significance of the milestone. “I just want to say thank you to every single person who ever watched any of my shows. 19 years, four different shows, 2034 episodes. I’m just so grateful. I’m grateful to MTV,” he stated.
Reflecting on his journey over the years, Dyrdek described this moment as “divine timing.” He noted that he has experienced personal growth that moved him away from the familiar persona associated with Ridiculousness. “I was growing out of having that ball cap and standing on the Ridiculousness stage and dancing,” he commented.
As the series progressed, Dyrdek found ways to enhance his efficiency while filming. He mentioned that he occasionally filmed up to 12 episodes a day. “Really it was because I was so committed to this time mastery goal of mine,” he explained. “Understanding all of my time and optimizing my time is what really led to the show being so efficient, but my overall quality of life being so amazing.”
Dyrdek hinted at future projects, emphasizing the positive impact of effective time management on his life. “I know that the reason I live such an amazing life and such a high-quality existence is because I account for all my time,” he stated. “I created this so that everybody could easily account for their time, optimize their time, and thus optimize their quality of life.”
With a legacy spanning nearly two decades, Dyrdek’s contributions to television entertainment remain notable. As fans anticipate what he will pursue next, his message of gratitude resonates strongly, marking the end of an era for Ridiculousness.
