Nearly twenty years after the original Jackass series was cancelled by MTV, a revival show may be on the horizon. Via The Hollywood Reporter , Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish revealed the news during an earnings call earlier today. He also mentioned that the show’s original creators are involved with the revival. “Based off the success of Jackass Forever , we’re working with the creators to continue the partnership with a new series, bringing even more ridiculous antics straight to Paramount+,” said Bakish. Jeff Tremaine, Spike Jonze, and Johnny Knoxville created Jackass as a reality show for MTV in 2000. Knoxville also starred in the series alongside Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Steve-O, Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, Ehren McGhehey, and Preston Lacy as they performed ill-advised stunts and pranks on each other.

Below are some of the most notable character roles that were actually played by two (or more) people.

World War Z Review: The Next Best Thing to Left 4 Dead | Digital Trends
World War Z review: The closest we’ve come to Left 4 Dead 3 MSRP $49.99 Score Details DT Recommended Product “While it stands on the shoulders of giants, World War Z does so proudly and with plenty of its own merits.” Pros Exciting, globe-spanning campaigns Adds depth with character classes and upgrades Zombie swarms create awe-inducing action scenes Cons Sound design fails to be instructive PvP is a total afterthought Introduces just one enemy type not seen in games like it Games have depicted zombie hordes and the survivors that kill them perhaps more than any other scenario in the medium’s history, and though plenty have failed to stand out, others have done well to chase or even reset a high bar.
