MTV cancels Ridiculousness after 14 years; Rob Dyrdek was making $32 Million/year to host the show

[Diunx]

Holy fukk, I assume a fukking family member was in charge of his pay at MTV or something? Thats insane.

No wonder Joe Rogan said he got fukk you money from Fear Factor, they overpaying the hell out of these people

 

[Elim Garak]

They haven't announced it yet.
This was the last thing keeping them afloat. The well is dry for the MTV brand.

It's certainly possible, but until something is announced...

 

[Silver Surfer]

If you think he was making 32 million a year salary from Nickelodeon you need to kill yourself

 

[sportscribe]

hit the finesse of a lifetime to play IG and TikTok videos for a living and making NBA role player money doing

USD32m a year is NBA starter money, not role player.

That is literally Jrue Holiday money, except Rob Dyrdek doesn't play any defense.

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Reruns of this all day

And breh going to get that syndication/Seinfeld money now

I saw some documentary about this dude a while back, he's a born hustler with some crazy good business acumen. He's been finessing that network for a while now.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

[King Poetic]

Dude was getting pat sajak wheel of fortune money for that silly shyt

I actually didn’t mind the show.

When I worked nights, we would throw it on as background noise just because we knew the shyt was always on

This was of them shows that was the perfect background noise when ya chillin with a new one at the house

 

[Amo Husserl]

32 million/year salary for 14 years instead of paying less money to produce original content and play... music.
All the love for nostalgia, MTV should have done a Retro MTV block if they still own the rights to their original programs from back in the day.
Too many of these cable companies fumblin' all types of bags.



Reason I got rid of cable.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Not 1 thing was funny about that shyt.

Dude was making like 80k an episode. The thing was that 1 season would have like 100 episodes.

 

[Clark Wayne]

I don't understand why MTV didn't make it's own programming etc. I know they got a budget and whatnot but wouldln't variety in content help to keep people tuning in?

They did. They had original shows that had a decent run in the 2010’s but then streaming took over and it was a wrap for that too.

 

[kingofnyc]

at anyone thinking he was making 32 milly a year for MTV

 

[valet]

It was a good show to watch when your bored. R.I.P.
