Interview: Steve-O of the famed Jackass Series
t-bo - 1/8/2007
Well here is an old one we did when the show was called The Beer O' Clock. Steve-O was touring as part of his "Don't try to this at Home" tour through Canada. Much chaos ensued from it, he pissed in a Toronto radio station and swore, which if my memory serves me correctly gave the radio station a hefty fine and fired the DJs. Shows were cancelled in the Maritimes and almost incited a Riot in Montreal. Therefore trying to schedule this interview was a nightmare. His publicist couldn't get a hold of him and his Tour manager got about 75 messages an hour... You get the idea. We had Steve-O's cell phone number but couldn't get a hold of him. We decided at the end of the show to just call and leave a message, to our surprise, Steve-O answered. I had forgotten my questions at home, so this interview was created on the spot. What I did with Steve-O is play free associations, I say a word, and Steve-O says the first thing that comes up to mind. I think what impressed me about this interview was the lack of luster coming from Steve-O. If it is, then I am happy, because the show was never about performing, about attempting to get into people's lives.
