| Jackass An Interview with Johnny Knoxville by Dave Carnie dc: How does it feel to be a hot lunatic you shitbag? jk : Were you poopin' the whole time? |
| dc: Just now? Most of the time. Yeah. jk: My God. dc: I mean it doesn't all come out at once. jk: I know I've seen you poop before. It's not very healthy. dc: You should have seen me in Portland. They had Miller beer and I don't drink Miller and it tore me apart. I destroyed their house. jk: Oh! That's so horrible. Now do you eat a lot of cheese or something? dc: Hey, I'm supposed to be interveiwing you. jk: Oh, O.K. go ahead. dc: How does it feel to be a hot lunatic in Rolling Stone? jk: I feel like a little school girl. The school is a little hung over today though. dc:Is it 'cause you were drinkin' with Joey Chicago last night? jk: Yeah. That's worse then Johnny Knoxville, huh? dc: You seem to really enjoy the name Johnny Knoxville becuase I don't think ou say anthing else on the show but, " Hi, my name is Johnny Knoxville." jk: That's about the extent of my talent. dc: How did a shitbag, commercial actor hook-up his own show on MTV? jk: Jesus Christ, I guess I have to thank you guys for putting me in your Goddam videos. dc: I mean didn't it have a lot to do with Spike [ Jonze], you and Jeff [Tremaine] were kinda like a team? jk: Yeah, we just took some of the footage from Number Two and Boob. Stuff like that I had done and other people had done and put togehter a little tape and took it to Spike's agent and Spike's agent set up meetings with networks and a lot of them were into it. dc: Who's workin' on the show? jk; Oh geez, we got Chris Pontius, Wee Man, we have Kosick shooting, Cliver, Tremain, Spike. We hijacked a lot of people fro Big Brother. We tried to get you, but you told us no. You're a Tulip. dc: Actually, this morning I was called " A fuckass sellout" becuase the guy thought I worked for Jackass. jk: No, no that's me! |
| dc: Do you ever feel like a whore working for MTV? jk: You know, I like whore's. I think it's obviously cooler for skate videos, but we've been given a opportunity where we can call all the shots and we can hire a lot of our friends and do exactly what we're doing and actually get paid for it. If that's a whore then I'm the biggest whore on the block. dc: How have you been responding to the question "Isn't Jackass just another Tom Green Show?" jk: Ours in an ensemble cast, we actually do physical stunts and we actually get fucked up. We're more beholden to Super Dave Osbourn and David Letterman and Candid Camera then we are to Tom Green. Big Brother's been doin' it for quite awhile and we didn't even find out about him untill we were done with the Boob Video. dc: One reader wrote in and called the show "the Johnny Knoxville hurt myself hour" and I think what he was wonder, much in the same way I wonder when I look at those gang bang girls like Jasmine Saint Claire and Houston- jk: Are you propostionin' me? dc: - when is enough, enough? jk: I don't know man. I wanna do it as long as everyone's havin' a good time and the show is interesting. When it starts getting dry, fuck it. We'll just go away. dc: I think what I'm asking though is, like when you shot yourself, how far will you go to entertain and why do you like doing that? jk: Um, 'cause I can't sing or dance. Um, Mommy used to spank me alot. yeah, I don't know, it's just kicks. i don't really try to intellectualize that kind of thing becuase what's the point? |
