New York, NY � August 9, 2007 � USA Network announced today that Trishelle Cannatella ("Real World: Las Vegas, "Kill Reality") has joined the cast of DR. STEVE-O, a reality program starring Jackass alum Steve-O ("Jackass," "Wildboyz") that is set to debut Monday, October 1st 11:05pm/10:05c on USA Network. DR. STEVE-O will follow WWE Monday Night RAW, the highest-rated weekly year-round series on cable.
