Shanna Zablow first appeared on the Dickhouse doorstep in 2003 with the start up of Wildboyz. No one knew much about her, but she could throw together some pretty wild running suit outfits, sounded just like the state of New Jersey, and went through cell phones like they were sticks of gum. As Wildboyz progressed through its four seasons, so did Shanna. From her lowly origins as something on par with a production assistant, Shanna began taking on more and more personal assistant work for the executive branch of the operation, first with Jeff Tremaine and then inherited Trip Taylor and Johnny Knoxville.

Somewhere along the line “Fireball” really came into her own, and she picked up some producer-like posts on various DVD side projects and such that cropped up along the way in the final season of Wildboyz before taking up a permanent Dickhouse roost as Tremaine’s personal assistant in the interim between our dear departed nature show and the onset of jackass number two. As talent coordinator on jackass number two her primary duties involved wrangling all the guys, a job that can be metaphorically likened to single-handedly wrestling a giant squid, but for all of her 5-foot stature Shanna managed to bulldog it just fine with a no-tolerance-for-bullshit attitude par excellence. If all else failed, she would just scare the cast into submission by “multi-tasking” as she drove them to and from locations.

Post-number two, Shanna rose somewhere a bit higher in the Dickhouse ranks, leaving the personal assistant chores to Tremaine and Knoxville somewhat in the dust, and picked up one of those fancy ambiguous Hollywood occupational titles that sounds amazing at the bar yet lacks a clear cut dictionary definition.

Presently, Shanna is trying to generate interest in a love/sex/relationship advice column for jackassworld.com. And really, who better than the person that has to put up with all the sex, love, relationship and assorted moral quandaries posed to her by the jackass guys over the past several years? Or, in her own words, “I think the combination of me working with 90 percent men, and the fact that I pretty much know everything about everything, makes me a great candidate to give advice to our community members.” Can’t argue with that. Question, yes, but in the interest of maintaining a healthy working relationship with Shanna and not wholly discredit her potential for advice-giving, I’ll hold my tongue and forego making any smart remarks about her “J-Date” and, as she refers to them, “Purple Pony” follies...although both have added immeasurably to her “experience” in the matters of love and life and the lunacy that abides between the two.
