With Jackass now defunct, Steve-O needs to find a new way to humiliate himself for money. Luckily for Steve-O, ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” is looking for a train-wreck contestant for it’s eighth season.

TMZ has learned Steve-O (who has been sober for nine months) has verbally agreed to appear on the show next season — and has even auditioned.

Nothing is set in stone yet — “DWTS” usually unofficially books several stars and then makes the cut down right before they make the official announcement.

2008 has been a rough year for Steve-O: friends convinced him to check himself into an LA psych ward in March after his drug abuse spiraled out of control. He later admitted to attempting suicide. A few months later, Steve-O plead guilty to cocaine possession, and entered a drug rehab program.
