Jackassworld.com: 24 Hour Takeover was a live TV special featuring many stars of the MTV show and movie franchise Jackass. Like its predecessors 24 Hours of Foo, 24 Hours of Love, and 2007's Human Giant 24 Hour Takeover, the group took over the MTV Studios for a 24 hour period on MTV. The takeover coincided with the launch of Jackassworld

About the broadcast

Beginning at noon ET on Saturday, February 23, Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Dave England, Preston Lacy, and Ehren McGhehey "ran" MTV for 24 hours, broadcasting their favorite stunts, taking questions, performing new skits and stunts along with other banter and pranks. Also shown was a one hour tribute to stunt man Evel Knievel that was shot days before. This event was re-broadcast on MTV2 in its entirety on March 1-2.

According to the best-of show, halfway through the "takeover" Steve-O was kicked out of MTV studios on the request of executives when he flashed his butt and pressed it on a window. Although, he was let back in the studio a few hours later because the producers knew it was in the best interest of the show for Steve-O to be on it.
