Johnny Knoxville rejected SNL offer for Jackass
28 Jun
Summary
- Knoxville turned down SNL's offer for a solo segment.
- Jackass chose MTV over Saturday Night Live for its premiere.
- The final Jackass film is releasing in theaters this weekend.

Johnny Knoxville recently shared details about a past offer from Saturday Night Live, explaining that the sketch comedy show's creator, Lorne Michaels, proposed a three-to-five-minute segment per episode. Knoxville declined this offer, as it was intended solely for him and would not have included his Jackass co-stars.
This decision allowed the Jackass franchise to maintain its core appeal: the chemistry and camaraderie among its cast members. The show's success is attributed to this dynamic, enabling a variety of stunts and pranks to resonate with diverse audience tastes. The final installment, Jackass: Best And Last, which includes a mix of past and new material, is scheduled for release in theaters this weekend and is receiving strong reviews.
