After helping MTV2 achieve its highest rated day in channel history on Monday, January 15th, Rob & Big , MTV’s breakout hit series, was picked up for a second season for MTV and MTV2 beginning in Q2 2007 for 8 new episodes. Created by Jeff Tremaine, one of the creators of MTV’s Jackass and Wildboyz series, this reality comedy series stars professional DC Shoes skateboarder, Rob Dyrdek and his bodyguard and best friend, Christopher “Big Black” Boykin. The show premiered on MTV and MTV2 in November 2006 and documented the hysterical daily domestic antics of this unlikely dynamic duo living together in Rob’s Hollywood Hills home.

“Our approach to Rob & Big was to deliver their hilarious brand of reality buddy comedy across all our channels and multiple platforms,” said Lois Curren, EVP Series Development, MTV. “Our audience absolutely fell in love with the charming duo’s bizarre daily escapades and now, we’re thrilled to bring Rob & Big back for a second season to MTV and MTV2 for more of their lovable, non-stop, comic adventures.”
The story of Rob & Big is simple: After years of being hassled by cops for street skateboarding, Rob hired Big Black as his own personal bodyguard with one goal in mind – to ride whenever and wherever he wanted. From that point on, this unusual twosome became instant buddies who were always by each other’s side. The first season of this breakout hit on MTV and MTV2 featured Rob & Big as they adopted their lovable bulldog Meaty, threw their first house party, attempted to get in shape and even joined a dating service together.
