Steve-O takes troubled Bam Margera on tour with him and compares him to Britney ... trends now
Steve-O has taken Bam Margera on tour with him, helping his troubled former Jackass co-star work on new material and comparing him to Britney Spears.
The 48-year-old comedian has made Margera, 43 — who claimed he was 'basically pronounced dead' at the hospital in December — his opening act on The Bucket List Tour, and the two friends are currently on the road.
The pair have been playing to packed houses across the country, launching Bam's comeback after multiple stays in rehab and numerous health struggles.

In video obtained by TMZ, Steve-O recently stunned his audience at the Elsinore Theatre in Salem, Oregon, last weekend when he brought Bam on stage and helped the professional skateboarder workshop his material.
Steve-O said: 'My dear friend Bam here is new to the idea of putting together an act. So, I'm here to help Bam kind of figure this out. So, go ahead and introduce yourself.'
'Well,' replied Margera, 'I'm Bam Margera and I am the Britney Spears of Jackass.'
The Viva La Bam star went on to explain his connection to the pop star, who was locked in a highly controversial 13-year conservatorship, in which she alleged mismanagement and abuse at the hands of her father.
'...I've had a legal guardian make my decisions for a year,' declared Bam. 'A judge has stripped me from all my rights and I just completed my own rock and roll tour of ten different rehabs for a year-and-a-half in Florida.'

Sitting across from Steve-O on-stage, Bam proceeded to tell the audience that he got his credit card tattooed on his arm because it had been confiscated from him in rehab and jail so many times.
