Despite good ratings, the show only lasted two years.
A lot of Steve-O's stunts were censored by MTV due to them being too extreme. But they were eventually added on to DVD under the name "Don't Try This at Home: The Steve-O Video."
Ehren McGhehey had a lot of stunts but they were turned down by the crew because they were deemed "stupid and unfunny".
Prior to Jackass airing on MTV, the crew was given an opportunity from Saturday Night Live to perform their stunts on a weekly basis. They declined, but Knoxville would host the show in 2005.
