For the first time in history, the five Founding Fathers of Jackass — Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Jason “Wee-Man” Acuña and Jeff Tremaine — offer their eyewitness account of the birth of MTV’s game-changing cult video series
And all the perverts were upset they gotSo we were starting work on the second video, and that’s when I met Knoxville. He was trying to write articles for us.He was going to test out all the self-defense equipment on himself.Knoxville’s story is basically if you take the Bad Company song “Shooting Star” and switch “guitar” with “video camera.” Graduated high school, he is 18 years old. He says to his mom, “I’m going out to be a big star.” And 18-year-old Knoxville moves to L.A.
They were offended and just disgusted by what we had just shown them. And I went, “Oh well, fuck, man. Good thing I didn’t quityet.” And our second pitch was at MTV — and it was the exact opposite. We showed them the sizzle tape, and they were just dying laughing. And they wanted it right away.wanted me to be on the show. They were going to give me, like, five minutes each week to do what I do, but that would just be me. And I couldn’t do both. Our show was about to go.
For the first movie, they insured per bit. They didn’t insure the whole movie. So, some bits were cost-prohibitive to do. There was one bit we wanted to do with Pontius dressed as the devil in a Pentecostal church handling snakes. And that was going to be, like, $5 million to insure. Our first entire movie cost $6 million. But after that, the movies were insured like a regular film.On the first movie, Paramount wanted us to make it, but it was a negative pickup.
