How did Johnny Knoxville start producing stunt videos?
Hello, my name is Johnny Knoxville. And I feel harder than a turnbuckle about being Conan O'Brien's friend.
You know what? I think you just may have had the best one ever.
Would you prefer harder than a folding chair? Because I can switch.
I like turnbuckle. It's got a nice, it's really poetic. And I want that on my gravestone. Harder than a turnbuckle. And soon.
Fall is here, hear the yell, back to school, ring the bell, brand new shoes, walkin' loose, climb the fence, books and pens, I can tell that we are gonna be friends. Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend.
Joined by Sona Moussessian and Matt Gorley, still out on a parental leave. He has a brand new baby.
What hare-brained ideas are featured in the upcoming Jackass film?
Very excited for him and for his wife, Amanda. He's got two girls now, which is just lovely. And David Hopping, filling in for him. David, good to have you here again. Thank you. Happy to be here. Nice to see you. David, you love your reality television. You just love it. Yeah. Explain one thing to me, because David loves the show Traders. Yeah. And so I checked out the new season of Traders because someone I knew was a contestant on the show. And I thought, I just want to see what this is like. And I've seen it before, but I don't know what the strategy is on a show like that.
How did hosting Fear Factor change Johnny's perspective?
I was watching Traders and I thought, isn't it? They all act like. oh, I'm going to really practice my wiles and my expertise and I'm going to win the game. And I think it's not like chess. Yeah. It looks like people are just doing stuff, but I don't really see a strategy and then they get voted off or not. Yeah, it feels kind of random. Am I wrong? They're supposed to like really be like paying attention to people like to slip up. Like if someone is a traitor, I'm like really watching to see if she messes up and gives me any clue that she's the person going and meeting at night to like kill people in the castle. Well, here's why I watch. I watch because Alan Cummings saying the word murder.
Yeah.
That is what keeps me coming back. And he says it.
What is the story behind the Claymation episode with Conan?
I mean, he must know it's working for him because his outfits are fantastic. They're just wonderful. But and he's he's he's just chewing scenery left and right in the most delicious way. But he manages to say murder. Murder. Maybe every other sentence. Yeah. You know, and and it's so that's fun. And then people are doing stuff like they're running around and you've got to put this cantaloupe on top of that gravestone. Oh, no, not on that gravestone. And it doesn't seem to I try to figure out what it's all about. And I don't know.
I don't watch it.
What reality shows are you obsessed with, Sona?
You know what?
How did Johnny Knoxville navigate his early career challenges?
I'm not watching reality right now. I'm in the, I just like, I like horny shows. That's what I do. I'm sorry. And you knew that about me. Needed rivalry. Well, yeah. Now I'm watching the new season of Tell Me Lies. David and I talked about that.
I don't know what that is.
Of course you don't.
How is it horny?
No, it's horny. There's like sexy people sexing. And so I like it.
What were the circumstances surrounding the first Jackass movie?
Is it full nudity?
no like do you see things no no but just like yeah it is actually it's like soft core kind of not soft core no not soft it's like with you know there's stuff there's you can see it but you can't see it yeah you see the occasional butt maybe a half boob yeah oh my god you're getting really into like details can you draw what you see oh my god can you just draw it for me you can watch it you're an adult man if you want to watch it you can sometimes my priest stops by what

I like Traders, too. Yeah.
Here's what I love about Big Brother, which is it's in a house.
How does Johnny feel about his past stunts and decisions?
The idea is it's people who are sequestered in a house and they don't get to see another person, period. Like none of the producers they see, all the camera people are behind one way mirrors.
