The “Jackass” well, she is a-drying. This hastily assembled tribute to the world’s biggest daredevil – he died in November, this first ran on MTV in late February – contains some impressive stunts, but with Johnny Knoxville serving as the sole “Jackass” regular to appear, the between-stunt banter is pretty flat. Even the stunt involving a guy jumping out of a plane without a parachute was rather dull. BMX champ Mat Hoffman is an amiable enough host, but he sounds like he’s taken a few too many hits to the head. The show picks up a bit towards the end, when a series of bikers attempt all sorts of sure-to-fail stunts (one of which sends Johnny to the hospital), but this rental-only material across the board. If that.
