MTV Remote Control Blog › Steve-O

Self-proclaimed Jackass (and Nitro Circus ringmaster) Johnny Knoxville is no prude when it comes to self-destructive behavior. But he couldn't be prouder of his stapler-toting pal Steve-O, who just hit the 11-months-sober mark. The turning point? An intervention (staged by Knox and his goons) back in March of '08.

"You know if I'm coming to get you to tell you you have a drinking problem, you have a problem," Knox admitted in a recent interview with WENN.

Aww, props to Johnny for knowing when to step in, and (of course) to Steve-O for laying off the drink. But before we break out the Golden Girls theme (Thank you for being a friend ..." anyone? ANYONE? ) we gotta know one thing: Where the EFF was Johnny when Steve-O agreed to sign up for Dancing with the Stars??
