So, you just lost the "Funniest Knoxvillian ever to appear on Saturday Night Live contest"...to Melanie "Delta Delta Delta" Hutsell.
P.J. Clapp, you let us down. Dude, I understand that live comedy may not be your forte, but did you really have to go and stink up the joint so badly last Saturday night? I mean, I was pretty much on the fence anyway about the "Dukes of Hazzard" remake movie, not least of all due to your involvement in said project (Tom Wopat could kick your ass, "Jack" or otherwise). Your general craptastic suckitude did nothing to pull me into the "Johnny Knoxville is a hilarious comedic actor who has a bright future ahead of him" camp. For shame. Go put some more staples in your crotch.
Plus, the rumors that you've been seen cavorting with your co-star Jessica Simpson don't improve your standing in my eyes.
In conclusion: be funnier. Hurting yourself on purpose is funny, but not for long. The ability to take a kick to the groin is admirable in a "hey man, watch 'is" kind of way, but it's certainly not something on which to attempt to build a career.

It gets sadder. Here is an excerpt from the Metropulse:
Word also has it that Jackass star Johnny Knoxville, straight from filming Dukes of Hazzard with Jessica Simpson, was also spotted, wreathed by a gaggle of girls this past weekend at Michael’s.
Sounds like someone needed his ego stroked.... along with something else, maybe.

I was really looking forward to this past week's SNL. Oh boy, was I sadly dissappointed. I also feel he really hurt his chances on becoming a serious comedic actor. Ofcourse I also feel the writers of the show are also some what to blame...The sketches as a whole sucked rotten billy goat. Yes, he maybe goodlooking but in hollywood that only gets you so far unless you date Demi Moore!!!

You know, it's just plain sad that when one DOES need their ego stroked (and other things, as Rachel pointed out) you go to....Michael's. I have to admit--I was dragged to Michael's once, so I speak from experience: That place sucks. You'd think that Johnny K'ville could have picked a cooler place to go....hell, the patio at O'Charley's on the strip would have been better (plus, I hear Dave Landeo was playing...). I do agree with Cuz Stoner--the writing was awful. Of course, I think that SNL has gone downhill since Jimmy Fallon left, but that's just my opinion.... They do have some talented people (I think the SNL women ROCK--they're some of the funniest people they've had in a long time, women OR men), it's just that the writing hasn't been as stellar. And even though I'm not FROM from K'ville, it's still a home to me, and I hate that people are going to say, "Hey, isn't Knoxville the place where that guy who shoots himself with a stun gun is from? Man, he ain't funny. Let's go to Ober Gatlinburg. I hear they have funnel cake."

You may not be aware of this fact, but "ober" is German for "over".

You know I put that in there just for you, right P-Cat? I was trying to work in something about the Star Cars being out of our reach at $10,000, but it just didn't seem to fit.

Depending on whether Chris Bell made any particularly funny faces during either of Weezer's performances on the 5/19/01 episode, Johnny Knoxville (and by the way, I was born and raised in Knoxville, too; can I call myself Danny Pat Knoxville?) may actually be the third funniest Knoxvillian ever to appear on SNL.

So, I'm guessing David Keith was never a guest on SNL? Now HE'S a funny guy.

Especially when he sings.
