In Depth
In 1996 Johnny had the idea to shoot himself with pepper spray, a taser, a stun gun, .38, and then write an article about the experience.
. That's when Johnny Knoxville, Jeff Tremaine, and Spike Jonze pitched the idea of Jackass to MTV...it would combine part of the Big Brother Crew with the East Coast CKY crew (which included skateboarding pranksters Bam Margera, Brandon DiCamillo, and Ryan Dunn) and would allow the three producers creative control. MTV did something smart for a change and jumped at this unique idea. Alongside Johnny, Tremaine, and Jonze on the show are: Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Brandon DiCamillo, Jason 'Wee Man' Acuna, Dave England, Ehren McGhegan, Steve O, and Raab Himself. Jackass quickly became one of cable's highest rated shows. The success of the show has also sparked many recent movie deals for Johnny Knoxville.
