Bam Takes Over

What would the world be like if the guys from Jackass took over the world? Well, this weekend, we'll get a little taste of it as Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, and Chris Pontius take over MTV from Saturday at noon until Sunday at noon. "I can't believe they even said yes over there," Bam tells us. "I think Jackass came up with it, and for some reason, MTV agreed. They're probably gonna wind up doomed by the end. It's gonna be mayhem, hands down. We're either gonna wind up with some broken bones or arrested."

So what's up? How are you doing?
I've seen better days -- I got a broken left hand, and I just went down on this toboggan with Steve-O and Chris Pontius, and it was a triple set. On the last few stairs, I fell so bad! I think I bruised my tailbone real bad -- it sucks to even walk and sit down. This all happened today. It's been completely insane.

Any plans for the 24-hour MTV takeover?
I think I'm gonna drop in on a quarter pipe with a skateboard and clothesline myself, stuff like that. If I'm still capable because I'm really hurt right now!

Did MTV give you any rules or restrictions?
Whatever they say "Don't do," they already know that that means do it. So I think they're gonna keep their mouth quiet and hope that nothing goes too horribly wrong.

How are you gonna stay up for all 24 hours?
I really have no idea, but I definitely don't want to go to sleep because if I do, then I'm gonna be the one to get messed with. I know they can easily get a key to my room. If you go to sleep, you're screwed.

This is all for your new website, JackassWorld.com, right?
Jackass World is just a bunch of new clips that we've been doing. And you can check daily and there will be new updates all the time.

Would you guys ever have a girl join the Jackass crew?
I would, but I guess it might seem mean-spirited if we were doing what we do to our friends to a girl, you know?

Would you wife Missy ever take part in it?
No, she likes to stay out of it. She's definitely a girl who definitely doesn't want to get hurt.

What's the worst injury you've ever gotten?
Probably the broken tailbone back in the second season of the show. We were doing those bucket cars in February in Pennsylvania, and I hit the edge of the wheelbarrow and broke my tailbone. I actually had to get on a flight to LA the next day and I couldn't even sit right -- it sucked so bad.

Is there a stunt that even you wouldn't do?
At this point, I took my morals and I threw them right out the window.

You Say!
