    SteveO is the last guy from that group that you’d think would have a lasting career. His standup isn’t great, and he still does a lot of stunts that most fucking SUCK to do when you’re in your forties, but he’s happy, a nice guy to everyone, and seems to have found a niche that still pays the bills.

    I’m shocked that Jackass hasn’t been picked up by Netflix or another streaming platform as a TV series. They’re available, they enjoy what they do, the filming is cheap, they’ve got people desperate to cameo, the music budget is apparently amazing because the bands involved love their music being used for Jackass, the list goes on. IMO it would be a great way to get the original gang around as cameos, and to get some of the solid newer additions from Jackass Forever a central role.

      I’m pretty sure I’ve heard steve-o say himself that they couldn’t probably pull off much more jackass without like… dying. also i think the vibes have been off for them as a crew since bam went off deep and Ryan died.

      Yep. To add, his list of stunts he regrets are “this was unethical, that turned out lame” instead of “this was the most painful”.
