MTV’s infamous reality TV show Punk’d is getting a reboot and we can’t wait. Unfortunately, Ashton Kutcher won’t be a part of the famous show.
He just hopes they get it right (hard to top what he did to Drake).
I have nothing to do with the new punk’d situation. Hope they get it right.

The Idea Behind Punk’d
The MTV classic aired from 2003 to 2007. Host Ashton Kutcher played some of the most elaborate practical jokes on celebrities, including his famous friends.
Not even Queen Bey or Serena Williams were spared. There were moments of celeb cruelty like with Justin Timberlake.

Then again some celebs like ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin gave the OG prankster a run for his money.

If Ashton Kutcher isn’t the mastermind this time around, we wonder who will do the honors?
Punk’d is being revived for ‘Quibi‘, the short-form streaming platform. Quibi is backed by former Disney and DreamWorks executive Jeffrey Katzenberg.
