5 Things You Need to Know Before Watching the Duck Dynasty Finale

Aw shucks, y'all -- Duck Dynasty ends its third season Wednesday night. That is god-dog bad news for the people who enjoy watching forest-dwelling duck-hunters trade jokes. Wait, what — you've never seen Duck Dynasty? In a nutshell: A&E's Duck Dynasty follows the Robertson family like Keeping Up with the Kardashians follows the Kardashians. It's a modern-day Beverly Hillbillies, except it's apparently real.

Jon Cryer on New Two and a Half Men: Yes, Sheen Dies, No, Charlie Harper Won't Be Forgotten

Just because Charlie Sheen's character is being killed off Two and a Half Men, that doesn't mean Charlie Harper will suddenly be forgotten, Jon Cryer tells Entertainment Weekly. CBS boss looks to the future with Ashton Kutcher and Ted Danson In August, reports came out that CBS was planning to kill off Sheen's character, which would effectively preclude him from ever returning to the series. Sheen was fired in March by production studio Warner Bros. TV after months of growing tension between Sheen and executive producer Chuck Lorre. Ashton Kutcher was brought onboard the hit show in May. True to the show's tone, Cryer says Charlie Harper's death and funeral won't be...

MTV Unleashes Jackass, Finnish Style

Culture shock has never been so high-voltage. In MTV's hit stunt series The Dudesons in America (Friday, 11/10/c), four Finnish pranksters have been touring the United States performing death-defying stunts for bewildered locals. Think of it as Jackass with accents."We've been filming since the first of January and we haven't been kicked out of the country yet, so I think we're doing pretty good!" says leader Jukka Hilden, who, with lifelong pals Jarppi, HP and Jarno, are infamous in Finland for their antics...

Steve-O's Latest Stunt: Getting Arrested, at His Own Home

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?

For Jackasses, No Injury Too Big (Or Small) to Overcome

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 ...

Jackasses to Take Over MTV for 24 Hours

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

MTV's Bam Explains Why His Unholy Union Works

Mixing the stunts of Jackass with the romance of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, MTV's surprisingly endearing Bam's Unholy Union (Tuesdays at 9:30 pm/ET) follows (dare)devil-skater Bam Margera and his West Chester, Pennsylvania, hometown fiancée Missy Rothstein as they prepare to say "I do." TV Guide caught up with Bam, who in real time already wed his bride Feb. 3 and honeymooned in... Dubai? TV Guide: So how did you land such a nice, normal girl?Bam Margera: I got lucky. I think the fact that she's the complete opposite of me is what makes it work. She barely even drinks. She'll have an olive martini at the bar and that's it. I need to have 18 of them. I've known her since sixth grade. She knows what I'm all about. TV Guide: Was your Las Vegas bachelor party as insane as it loo

"Groom Reaper" John Waters Slays Us in a Lively Q&A

The Farrelly Brothers, the Jackass boys, every contestant who's ever eaten an insect on Fear Factor... they all owe a huge debt to the schlockmeister who pioneered hard-to-stomach, in-your-face entertainment: Baltimore-based auteur/author/actor John Waters. Originally known as the director of campy, lowbrow flicks punctuated by gross-out gags (e.g., plus-size drag queen Divine eating authentic dog poop in 1972's Pink Flamingos), the 60-year-old moviemaker has enjoyed a more mellow image in recent years, thanks to a st

Best of Finns: Meet the Dudesons!

When we heard that The Dudesons, four Finnish friends with a taste for Jackass-like stunts, were going to be abusing their bodies on Spike (premiering tonight at 10 pm/ET), we just knew we had to chat with them. Two of the Dudes, Jukka and Jarppi, indulged us. TV Guide: Is there a difference between Finnish humor and American humor? Jukka: People around the world laugh at the same things. It's always funny to see someone get woken up by hitting him with a baseball bat. [In] Finland, we don't really have censorship on TV so we can broadcast even the craziest ideas: lighting somebody on fire, accidentally burning our house down....
