“Are you prepared to be a permanent part of this cast in this television show?” Dyrdek asked Wood.

An excited Wood replied, “Wow! I thought you’d never ask. Yes! Yes! Thank you!”

The show shared the moment in a social media post on X, formerly Twitter, captioning, “We’re making it official, welcome to the #Ridiculousness family Lolo.”

West Coast left Ridiculouenss last year after 12 years on the show, saying in a statement, “After years of being a part of the Ridiculousness family, I’m sad to say goodbye to the show but very excited to announce my next big venture with MTVE/Paramount. It’s time for me to step off the red couch and step into the role of executive producer.”

Although the television personality stopped appearing on Ridiculousness, she was not leaving the network as she was preparing to work on new projects.

“My passion has always been to create, whether it is music, clothing, or film and tv,” she added. “I plan to bring some of my wildest ideas and dreams to life through amazing film & television projects, build my teams, and work with other creatives paving the way on the screen. I’m also very excited for the world to see me beyond ‘the laugh’ and for once, see the real me.”

Wood had been appearing as a guest host alongside Sterling “Steelo” Brim. She previously appeared on MTV’s Wild ‘N Out between 2014 and 2016.
