Do you remember MTV’s Punk’d? I surely do. The show where our favorite celebrities went through with everyday events and obligations just for it to be fake for our laughing pleasure. Well, the show, which ran from 2003 – 2007 under its host Ashton Kutcher, is now being brought back to life thanks to the likes of BET. Yes, you read that correctly. BET is bringing back Punk’d.
Though no talent was announced for the deal — the original Punk’d maestro was Ashton Kutcher— the network’s upfront slate announced the new version would be “tailored” for the BET audience and would include a behind-the-scenes look at how the celebrity pranks are conceptualized and carried through.
Surely, it’ll be a great sight to see how the show will be revived and if it will love up to the original seasons. With the right bag of tricks, BET could have a great hit on their hands. We’ll definitely be tuned in.
