Steve-O — real name Stephen Glover — achieved fame, and often infamy, for his memorable stunts on hit MTV reality shows Jackass and Wildboyz. The wasabi snorter, alligator tightrope, jellyfish sombrero and tropical pole vaulting are just four of the dozens of memorable stunts Steve-O did while cameras rolled, and judging from the life he led during his reality TV heyday, there are probably plenty of other antics just as outrageous that didn’t make it on air.
Now 10 years sober, Steve-O is still doing stunts that 99 percent of the population would never consider attempting, proving that the performer in him is alive and well, but he’s also a headlining stand-up comedian touring the world.
When Steve-O called me for a Tuesday afternoon phone interview, hearing his unmistakable voice brought an immediate smile to my face and that smile mostly stayed as we discussed sobriety, how he incorporates footage of stunts into his stand-up performances and why he wanted to come back to Goodnights.
Also, anybody wanting to meet him after a show this weekend is in luck because Steve-O is a firm believer in meet-and-greets with fans.
“Every ticket is as good as a backstage pass,” he said.
I’m so happy to be doing the Bucket List shows because I’m more of a storyteller anyway. Getting to tell funny stories about the craziest stunts I’ve ever done, and then showing clips of the stunts on stage, has been so much fun. The reaction to these shows is the best I’ve gotten since I started stand-up.
