Stephen “Steve-O” Glover has made a career of doing crazy, dangerous, unhealthy, ill-advised stunts for the amusement, delight, and occasional disgust of audiences around the world. Besides being one of the breakout stars of
Jackass’ three-season run on MTV, Steve-O starred alongside fellow
Jackass alum Chris Pontius in the extreme travel show
Wildboyz, which ran on MTV for four seasons and his own
Dr. Steve-O series on the USA Network. In 2009 the newly sober Steve-O lasted six weeks on the ABC reality series,
Dancing with the Stars, despite the fact that he couldn’t dance to save his life. He figured prominently in the
Jackass feature films. He’s also been a frequent guest on
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
The Howard Stern Show,
Jimmy Kimmel Live, and
Loveline.
Professional Idiot is his first book.
