Let’s remember the one Jackass stunt too stupid for MTV
In a 2010 interview, Johnny Knoxville tells Howard Stern about the one stunt MTV refused to air

The year was 2010. Jackass 3-D was on the horizon, Johnny Knoxville’s hair was still jet black, and Howard Stern grilled King Jackass about the one stunt MTV said no to.
Well, not just MTV, but also Knoxville’s friends, photographers, and pretty much everyone except Knoxville himself. No one wanted to shoot Johnny Knoxville in the chest with a gun. Go figure.
In this clip from 2010, which was uploaded to The Howard Stern Show YouTube channel over the weekend, Knoxville tells Howard Stern about the early days of Jackass, how no one wanted to shoot him in the chest with a gun, and MTV’s refusal to air the clip.
Howard Stern: I heard on the original tapes that you gave to MTV—they wouldn’t air this—you wanted someone to shoot you with a bullet while you were wearing a bulletproof vest. Am I correct?
Johnny Knoxville: Yes.
HS: You couldn’t find anyone to shoot you. You understand why?
