Jackass is born!



Johnny Knoxville tried to become an actor by appearing as an extra and enrolling in drama school, but Being There went well. After much thought and thinking, documentary writer Hunter S. Thompson (played by Johnny Depp in the movie 1998 ) decided to go inside the subject instead of observing it. Inspired by ``gonzo journalism,'' where the subject becomes itself.


Using his own body as an experimental material, he was shot with riot control beanbag bullets (a bag filled with small shotgun bullets and fired in a bag), shot in the groin with a stun gun, and wearing a bulletproof vest.38 Shot with a caliber pistol. He tries out things he doesn't want to do, even though he probably won't die, and records the video on video and submits it to the skateboarding magazine Big Brother.

Impressed by its ridiculousness, editor Jeff Tremaine included the Knoxville video in the magazine's video edition, Number Two, which gained a cult following. .


Same period. Professional skater Bam Margera releases a skate video "CKY" with his band "CKY" friends. The main focus is on Margera performing spectacular tricks on a skateboard, but the interludes include Bam's over-the-top pranks on his parents and stunts using a shopping cart, which are also wonderfully ridiculous. That figure catches Tremaine's attention.


Could Tremaine make a show about Knoxville and Margera's ridiculous stunts and pranks? I thought about it, but at the time I was just a magazine editor and didn't know what to do. I approached Spike Jonze, who was my senior in high school, and he offered to be the executive producer, telling me to let him have sex with me. With this appointment, the project will be put into motion.


Tremaine recruits Steveo, a circus school graduate, and Weeman, a professional skater with dwarfism, to become members of the Jackass Crew, and begins creating promotional videos and giving presentations. Immediately, he received favorable responses from big names such as Saturday Night Live, Comedy Central, and MTV, and decided to sign a contract with MTV, which offered the most favorable terms.


Thus, the television series `` Jackass '' was born.
