'Jackass' Steve-O Leaves Charlie Sheen's Roast...

Steve-O of ever-popular Jackass fame left Charlie Sheen's Comedy Central Roast with a broken nose. It seems it was pre-planned in a promise made to Charlie Sheen, that the Jackass star would dive head-on into Mike Tyson's fist. It's too bad the fighter didn't knock him unconscious instead.

According to RadarOnline, this is, of course, apropos for anything even remotely Jackass-related. The funniest element of the broken nose was that Charlie Sheen emerged from the roast unscathed. It would seem lots of people might have wanted to break his nose.

Steve-O utilized his time at the roast to perfect the art of actual physical comedy. It's unknown, however, whether his diving into Tyson's fist or William Shatner's peculiar and oh-so-confused stare was funnier.

Sadly that wasn't Steve-O's only stupid stunt of the evening. Fortunately Comedy Central edited out the worst one. He tried making a joke with regard to Charlie Sheen's roast, but it was in unbelievable poor taste.

"The last time this many nobodies got roasted, at least the band Great White was playing," he said, in reference to the February 20, 2003 fire at a Rhode Island nightclub The Station that killed 100 people.

Even though the incredibly insensitive comment didn't make the roast, it is now rampantly circulating news stations and the internet--making Steve-O appear to be way more than just a Jackass. He has released a statement of apology--but come on. That really crossed a lot of lines.

So in light of the atrocious statement that Comedy Central eliminated from Charlie Sheen's roast prior to its airing, Steve-O getting his head bashed in on the end of Mike Tyson's fist is really no big deal. The idiot deserved everything he got. It's kind of too bad the fighter didn't do a little more damage.

Sounds like he's just looking for attention. Though I have to wonder why Mike Tyson and William Shatner were on stage for a comedy roast not dedicated to them.

Really? If that's the part of the roast you found "incredibly insensitive", you obviously didn't watch anything but Steve-O. Maybe the problem here is that some 60-something year old bag is reviewing a COMEDY CENTRAL ROAST. I'm sure there's some old reruns of Golden Girls or Murder She Wrote that would be a lot closer to your taste. That's the beauty of comedy. There are NO limits. There is NO line. And the best part is, seeing people moan and groan over edgy jokes only makes them funnier.

I agree with Justin, and not to mention, did you NOT hear people literally telling Steve-O to go die? And then that Amy chick brought up Ryan Dunn's death like it was nothing, and said basically, too bad it wasn't Steve-O instead. But referencing to a fire that probably no one would get is insensitive? I'm sure you're just hating on Steve-O because he's on Jackass and you think that show is stupid, because you have no sense of humor.

I think the writer of this article, and yes I know it's a woman, should grow a pair and understand the concept of a comedy roast. Steve-O didn't do too bad for someone who isn't a professional comedian, then again neither did Mike Tyson.

Steve-O already apologized and said he is glad they didn't show it. Why don't you go back to watching your Oxygen network and leave comedy to the professionals, lady.
