Jackass: TV Guide News

A reality show with don't-try-this-at-home pranks, stunts and absurd antics.

Steve-O's Latest Stunt: Getting Arrested, at His Own Home | Today's News: Our Take | 3/4/2008
Jackass' Steve-O has pulled many stunts in his career that led to painful injuries, but none are so painful, perhaps, as injuries to one's pride. The impish star was arrested Monday at 5 am under investigation of vandalism and possession of a controlled substance after a neighbor made a citizen's arrest. The two reportedly had a dispute over a fence. In addition, Steve-O got officially booked for a traffic warrant from a previous incident. As of posting, the prankster's rep has not commented. Is it only natural that someone who thrives on manic behavior would ricochet into an arrest? Or is it just totally unfair that Steve-O's very own neighbor would call the cops on him? — Anna DimondRelated:• Jackasses to Take Over MTV for 24 Hours• For Jackasses, No Injury Too Big (Or Small) to Overcome read more
For Jackasses, No Injury Too Big (Or Small) to Overcome | Today's News: Our Take | 2/23/2008
For Johnny Knoxville, not even a cringe-worthy injury can keep him from working. The stunt maven (no stranger to pain), tore his urethra last week, just before the upcoming 24-hour Jackass "takeover" of MTV (Feb. 23 at noon to Feb. 24 at noon) — but he's still planning on showing up.While tearing that delicate human part might seem impossible, the injury happened as a result of a fall during a motorcycle flip in a tribute to Evel Kneivel with Mat Hoffman. Not long after being released from the hospital, Knoxville told TV Guide he was performing the stunt as part of the lineup for the weekend event, which kicks off the launch of Jackass' new online home, Jackassworld.com (note: profanity peppered throughout). The site, Knoxville said, will "expand Jackass so much... it's going to be pretty damn fun. We can try whatever we want. Literally, whatever idea we have, whether it's a prank, or a stunt... or a talk show." In the meantime, Knoxville promises that the weekend kickoff will ... read more
Jackasses to Take Over MTV for 24 Hours | Today's News: Our Take | 2/15/2008
In a moment of total genius — or disaster — MTV is handing over the airwaves to the Jackass crew for 24 hours. From Feb. 23 at noon until noon the next day, Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and associates will be in charge of the 'net in an unhostile "takeover."While it's pretty obvious that a sleepover with the prank-happy posse is something to avoid, watching it all go down on TV is a different story. Some of the rumored stunts and games include a wiener-eating contest and night vision dodgeball, with plenty more antics in the works. — Anna Dimond read more
Jackass Gang Revealed to Be... Geniuses? | Today's News: Our Take | 12/13/2007
Could be. On Dec. 19, Paramount Digital Entertainment and MTV New Media are releasing the idiot savants' third movie, Jackass 2.5, directly to the Internet. What's more, for the first two weeks, it'll be free, thanks to host site Blockbuster. Then, in February, the nimrods' own new site will begin offering fresh content on a regular basis. Because what the world absolutely needs now is more dumb. — Ben Katner read more
Daisies' Dog, Phenomenon, Virtual CSI: NY | Matt Roush | 10/25/2007
I now have a new favorite TV character this season, and it’s of the four-legged variety. Of course I’m talking about Digby, the stalwart and silent and absolutely gorgeous canine companion of Pushing Daisies’ life-affirming hero, Ned. This golden retriever was the first dead object (run down on a highway) to be revived by Ned as a child, and their attachment was one of the first and most persistent nitpicky complaints I fielded from the show’s naysayers. "How could Ned and Digby not have touched at least once over the years?" they wondered. A little boy and a faithful dog, how is it possible they restrained themselves from the heavy petting that comes so naturally in youth? My answer (beyond the obvious explanation that Pushing Daisies is a fantasy and we should just sit back and respect the rules we’ve been presented): Digby understands what’s going on. He knows that to be touched by Ned is to be sent to doggie heaven. He doesn’t need to be told. ... read more
