Jackass’Bam Margerahas made up his mind about a potential reunion, and fans won’t be too thrilled. The former skateboarder became a popular culture icon thanks to theMTV showsthat featured unforgettable stunt performances and pranks. It aired between October 2000 and August 2001, with reruns extending into 2002. Starring in this cringe comedy was a regular cast ensemble, including Margera,Johnny Knoxville,Chris Pontius,Ryan Dunn,Steve-O,Dave England,Ehren McGhehey,Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, andPreston Lacy.
In a recentCinemaBlend interview with Margera, the TV personality dished on the subject of returning toJackass, which he was not entirely against; however, reuniting with his crew was out of the question. Explaining why, he said:
“They have like new dudes, and what they did to me, making me go to treatment and paying for it, and then not putting me in a movie, and, you know, I had togo to courtover it and I just, you couldn’t offer me enough money to want to do another Jackass with them.The damage has been done.”
After MTV wrapped upJackassbroadcastsin 2002, the series evolved into a media franchise, spawning spin-offsWildboyzandViva La Bam,along with multiple feature films released byParamount Pictures. Among these films is 2022’sJackass Forever, which Margera was exempted from after initially being part of it. This led to a feud with Knoxville and his former colleagues as well as a legal battle he eventually settled.Jackass Foreveris the latest installment in the franchise, afterJackass: The Movie(2002),JackassNumber Two(2006),Jackass 3D(2010) andJackass Presents: Bad Grandpa(2013).
Will There Be A ‘Viva La Bam’ Reboot?
Margera also had something to say about aViva La Bamreboot, which he’s not so interested in, thankfully not due to anything attached to his vendetta. LikeJackass, the MTV show featureda lot of stunts and pranks, with most of the main cast reappearing. It ran from August 25, 2025, to August 13, 2025, comprising five seasons and forty episodes. Revealing why theViva La Bamrevival is highly unlikely, Margera said:
“I just feel likethat type of show has completely run its course. Living with my parents, and painting the whole kitchen blue, and having my mom freak out - to end something like that, and then your life moves on, you get your own house, with your own wife, and you have a kid. It would be like … if we did a Viva la Bam [reboot], I would have to move back in with my parents and re-mess with ‘em after giving them a 15-year break. It would just be weird.”
Margera has ruled out aJackassandViva La Bamreboot. Stick with Collider for more updates about the slapstick franchise.
