Mtv who is rob dyrdek

This Is Not Mom-Certified. Rob brings his family to the Fantasy Factory for the premiere of "Street Dreams," the movie he wrote, produced and starred in. Rob launches a line of skater-themed kids' toys based on his crew and then heads to the Bahamas to do some very hands-on research for a proposed new character: Shark Attack.

The Fantasy Factory gang presents unseen clips from Season 1, including a snowball fight, a day with attack dogs, Rob's unusual taxidermy idea, and the truth about Drama and Timmy's romance.

Rob teams up with Carl's Jr. I Call Him Butter Feet. In one prescient episode from the first season, the show flashes forward to give us a glimpse of what eventually becomes of one of the most well-known television personalities from the turn of the millennium. In classic Dave Chappelle fashion, it is mean and telling and funny in all the right ways—and for more reasons than were initially intended.

Alas, while the imagined TRL of the future is still on the air, time has not been kind to Daly. He has bags under his eyes and his skin is as gray as the V-neck he rocks along with an ugly mustard-colored plaid shirt.

He looks tired—physically, and with his gig. Or, rather, one particular show on loop. Actually, is he still a skateboarder? Is that how he identifies these days? It has been a very long time since Dyrdek was just a skateboarder, and he has made oodles of money since then as a reality show star. Which brings us back to Ridiculousness. It is on all the time. Ridiculousness was on. And it stayed on. But unlike the protagonists of the sci-fi buddy-cop comedy, MTV and its parent company, ViacomCBS, have no need for a memory-wiping device.

Apparently, consumers are willing to watch repeat programming with their memories fully intact. Four years ago, The New York Times ran a study about the 50 most-liked TV shows on Facebook and then mapped those preferences by geography. But while Ridiculousness has been a regular winner for MTV for a while, it has lately been on so much that it has all but taken over the entire network. Variety reported that during a stretch of hours on MTV in late June, hours of programming were gobbled up by Ridiculousness.

That approach remains unchanged. When I randomly checked in on the station one weekend in August, the show ran for more than 36 hours uninterrupted from Saturday morning through 3 a. Ridiculousness first premiered in and has shot 17 seasons to date, and Dyrdek has been a fixture on MTV for 14 years and counting.

Despite being a near-omnipresent fixture on TV, Dyrdek is surprisingly elusive; several attempts to contact him—through his agent, his production company, his website, ViacomCBS, and personal intermediaries—were unsuccessful. So why has this particular time in TV history—both for the content-consuming nation and the network—brought about this latest programming metamorphosis at MTV? The mutually beneficial union between the network, the show, and the former current?

Have you seen Ridiculousness? I had not seen Ridiculousness. Everyone knows that. Then I immediately and frantically took to Google to learn about this thing I thought I was supposed to know about. This is how I operate roughly half the time, not knowing about the thing that everyone else at our company knows about, because I work at The Ringer with a bunch of very lovely but young humans who are only slightly older than zygotes and who are plugged into every possible part of modern pop culture before anyone else even knows it exists.

Thus, I resolved to binge the show and throw myself headlong into one of the many marathons forever running on MTV these days. I would strap myself to the couch and not get up until all the Ridiculousness had been consumed.

But it did quickly feel familiar and formulaic. At 18 years old, he used that knowledge to create his first company. See full bio ». Filmography by Job Trailers and Videos.
