Celebrity Appearances at X Games
Celebs at X Games
June 2020 marks 25 years of X Games. Since 1995, we've been spreading the shred all over the globe, and in that time, we've attracted everyone from the top athletes to comedians to musicians to Hollywood glitterati. Keeping track of every celebrity that has attended X Games throughout the years was no easy feat, and we've definitely missed a few names along, but what follows is a small nod to names you might recognize that have attended X Games. Welcome to "Celebs at X Games!"

Adam Carolla, Andy Dick, Jimmy Kimmel
Before X Games moved to Los Angeles, we spent a few years in San Francisco, which was close enough to brush up against some rising stars of the time. At the time, Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel were hosts of "The Man Show," while Andy Dick was just finishing up his run on "NewsRadio."

Rob Dyrdek
Technically, he came from skateboarding, so this isn't a stretch. But Rob Dyrdek's presence at X Games transcended his skating when he went on to host the MTV show "Ridiculousness." We're still lucky to have him stop by from time to time.
