Johnny Knoxville

Hello, my name is Johnny Knoxville.

And I feel harder than a turnbuckle about being Conan O'Brien's friend.

Would you prefer harder than a folding chair?

Because I can switch.

It was wonderful.

And David Bowie's there.

And I think he was on the couch.

I don't know if Richard Lewis starts going off in front of him.

Yeah, because that's the first time.

I think maybe the only time I met David Bowie.

And it was like, this is one of the best nights.

And you just get on the 10 West.

Yes, what happened was, honestly, I moved out to Los Angeles to become an actor just two months or maybe a month after high school.

Didn't do a lot.

you know, uh, for five, six years.

And then my then girlfriend got pregnant and I'm like, oh, I have to do something quick because I, that's the most frightened I've ever been.

Cause I had a little girl on the way and I'm waiting tables and I'm like, I got to do something quick.

So, uh, I was living next to Antoine Fuqua in this duplex and he set me up with this

casting agent who got me a commercial agent and i started writing for magazines and like my version of participatory journalism like hunter s thompson type of yeah i was like how about if i my one of my first articles was that how about if i test self-defense equipment on myself i was i was just that was my best guess at how to support a family yeah

And it was all out of fear of how to support how to support a little girl.
