USA Network has greenlit production on Camp Steve-O, a 30-minute reality pilot starring Steve-O of Jackass and Wildboyz fame, as he attempts to “de-wussify” the men of America with his own special brand of boot camp. The pilot is being produced in partnership with reality powerhouse Bunim-Murray Productions (The Real World, The Simple Life, Starting Over).
“Talk about unique characters! Camp Steve-O will certainly bring something different to USA,” said Jeff Wachtel, USA’s executive vice president, original programming. “We’re looking forward to working with Steve-O and Bunim/Murray to create an energized, fun show that will grab you by the … er, let’s just say, that will be very entertaining!”

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with USA Network in bringing back someone with such a sizable, existing fan base on cable,” added Jonathan Murray, Chairman and President, Bunim-Murray Productions. “Steve-O is certain to complement USA’s innovative programming.”
Camp Steve-O will follow the adventures of the indomitable Steve-O – a member of a dying breed of live-life-to-the-max daredevils who is disgusted with the alarming number of wussified men – as he travels around in a camper van invading the homes and offices of wimps, nerds and couch-potatoes who have been nominated by their buddies, girlfriends, wives, mothers and co-workers to be “de-wussified.” Administering his wild brand of “extreme attitude adjustments” – including shockingly hilarious stunts and embarrassingly funny and demented dares specifically tailored to each “Steve-O-in-training,” Steve-O will confront the guys where they live and shock them out of their shells where it matters most – in their hometowns in front of their family and friends!
