Despite good ratings, the show only lasted two years.
Ehren McGhehey had a lot of stunts but they were turned down by the crew because they were deemed "stupid and unfunny".
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."
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.
