Jackass is an American reality slapstick comedy TV show and media franchise created by Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze, and Johnny Knoxville. It originally aired as a TV series of three short seasons on MTV between October 2000 and August 2001, with reruns extending into 2002. It featured a compilation of pain-inducing stunt performances and pranks on each other and the public, with the regular cast entailing Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Dave England, "Danger Ehren" McGhehey, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña, Preston Lacy and Brandon DiCamillo.
After MTV ended Jackass broadcasts in 2002, it grew into a media franchise, which includes the spin-off series Wildboyz, and Viva La Bam; six feature films released by Paramount Pictures, four of which with expanded compilation films; a video game and a mobile game; boxed DVD sets of unreleased footage of the original TV show, a short-lived website featuring blogs and videos, merchandise, and several other videos released by various other means.
