Like its predecessors, 2002's 24 Hours of Love, 2005's 24 Hours of Foo, and 2007's 24 Hours of Human Giant, the group took over the MTV studios for a 24-hour period on MTV. The takeover coincided with the launch of Jackassworld.com.[2]

About the broadcast

Beginning at noon ET on Saturday, February 23, 2008 Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Dave England, Preston Lacy, and Ehren McGhehey "ran" MTV for 24 hours, broadcasting their favorite stunts, taking questions, performing new skits and stunts along with other banter and pranks. Jackass cast member Ryan Dunn did not participate, as he was suffering from depression at the time.[3] However, archival footage of Dunn is shown. Also appearing were Mick Page and Sam Macaroni as "The Preston Lacy players", with Macaroni going on to rap with Steve-O live for Yo! MTV Raps, with a Beavis and Butt-Head clip showing the duo making fun of Steve-O's newest rap single beforehand. Also shown was a one-hour tribute to stunt man Evel Knievel, who died three months before. This event was re-broadcast on MTV2 in its entirety on March 1 and 2.

Halfway through the broadcast, Steve-O was kicked out of the MTV studios on the request of executives for his behavior and intoxication.[4] He was allowed back in the studio a few hours later.
