Entertainer/Entrepreneur Steve-O

Chats Jackass Forever, Content Creation, and Stunts That Get Wilder With Age

- Corey Noles

More than 20 years ago, a young man walked onto our screens in a black t-shirt with a grin that spelled trouble. He was holding a bottle of water containing a goldfish. Steve-O was his name.

He promptly drank and regurgitated the goldfish, and it started swimming. That was the world’s introduction to Steve-O.

Through years of outlandish (and occasionally gross) stunts, he has a name and face that are instantly recognizable. No matter who you are or where you live, odds are that you’ve witnessed him doing something that carefully teetered the middle ground between insanity and hilarity.

While the wild Steve-O is still there, in recent years we’ve begun to see the creative side in a different way. He, Stephen Gilchrist Glover, has become more than an entertainer. Now, he’s taking the stage as an entrepreneur with a renewed spirit and insight on himself both as Steve-O the entertainer, and Glover, the man.

Following a years-long, very public battle with substance abuse and a variety of new endeavors, America’s favorite punching bag has found himself in a career resurgence fueled almost entirely by his own entrepreneurship.

With Jackass Forever just hitting theaters, Steve-O finds himself the busiest he’s ever been. From his top-rated podcast “Wild Ride! With Steve-O” to The Bucket List Tour, he is finding a new path — and some new passions.

Steve-O built a tricked-out mobile podcast studio where he interviews his guests — and he has had some impressive guests. Post Malone, Tony Hawk, Shaq, Tom Segura, Mark Cuban, and nearly 100 others have joined him on the show — and they all make for great listening.
