MTV is ending its long-running comedy clip show 'Ridiculousness' after 14 years on air. Host Rob Dyrdek, a 51-year-old former professional skateboarder, described the cancellation as 'divine timing' and revealed he's launching a new 'time intelligence platform' called Existence in the same week.
Rob Dyrdek shared his thoughts on the end of 'Ridiculousness' in a video posted to X, expressing optimism about moving forward. He explained that he was 'growing out of having that ball cap and standing on the 'Ridiculousness' stage and dancing,' signaling a shift toward more meaningful pursuits.
Key Details
The 46th and final season of 'Ridiculousness' began airing on October 12 and is set to continue into 2026, marking the conclusion of the show's 14-year run on MTV. Dyrdek emphasized that optimizing his time has been key to his past successes, including the show's longevity, and now drives his quality of life.
Dyrdek's new venture, Existence, is described as his 'magnum opus'—a platform designed to help people optimize their time. He views the timing of the show's end as perfectly aligned with this launch, allowing him to focus on what he calls his 'true calling.'
This transition comes as Dyrdek steps away from the entertainment format that made him a household name, pivoting to technology and personal development. Fans of the show, known for its humorous reactions to viral video clips, will have episodes airing through next year before the series wraps up.
