"SNL wanted me to be on the show," Knoxville says in The Hollywood Reporter's Jackass oral history (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/jackass-oral-history-johnny-knoxville-steve-o-interview-1235080408/). "They were going to give me, like, five minutes each week to do what I do, but that would just be me. And I couldn’t do both. Our show was about to go. So I kind of bet on us as opposed to on myself. I was really flattered that Lorne Michaels asked me to have lunch with him at the Polo Lounge, but I said, “No, I’m going to do this instead.”
