Steve-O

Steve-O is the stage name of Stephen Glover, an American stunt performer and comedian best known for the television series *Jackass* and its film spinoffs.

The name evokes extreme, often self-injurious stunts performed for entertainment: He pulled a Steve-O and stapled his balls to his leg.

Someone described as "doing a Steve-O" is attempting something recklessly dangerous and probably painful.
