Prankster television shows always run the risk of injury to the host and team. If you mess with people, sometimes, they might lash out with a plank of wood and catch you in the eye-socket with an errant nail, dragging you around by your face until a shrieking producer comes to calm you down.
That’s how Jeremy Beadle died.
In America, they had prankster show Punk’d which is set to relaunch next year. We can tune-in and snigger at famous people pretending they’re not in on the joke as the world goes crazy around them. And hits them in the face with a plank of wood with nails in it. And potentially getting the DIY nose-job is amniotic squirt, Justin Bieber.
Yes indeed, Justin Bieber is apparently all set to be offered a deal to host a revival of MTV show Punk’d. This is presumably because he’s the best person for the job as opposed to some cynical marketing exercise to get as many screaming children to tune in as possible.
Right?
The new series of the hidden camera show is expected to launch next year with original host Ashton Kutcher back as an executive producer. He needs to get out of the house after all those allegations started making his 302 year old wife, Demi Moore, start crying every time she tries to blink her pork scratching eyelids.
Punk’d ran for 69 episodes (arf!) for a few years before it was taken off air in 2007.
If you haven’t seen the show, Punk’d sees people like Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Katie Holmes getting jokes played on them until they weep, stomp their feet or convert to Scientology. Great, just great.
Justin Bieber’s addition to the show will no doubt see a spike in viewers for the musicless MTV… here’s hoping that the channel misuses their trust by having Bieber constantly swearing like a motherfucker while thrusting his tiny genitals into the camera. Constantly.
That’s what he did when he guested on CSI isn’t it?
