Whereas Disick’s prank calls are legendary within the Kardashian household and within the Kardashian fandom, Jenner as soon as obtained a wholly completely different name primarily based on a wholly completely different (and rather more critical) prank.
Whereas enjoying “Fact or Dare” with Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner known as their mother and pretended that she simply came upon she was pregnant. Kris, who believed her daughter instantly, even instructed her second-youngest that she dreamt about Kendall’s supposed being pregnant the evening earlier than.

When she’s not horrifying her A-list friends, the Discovering Dory star has them exit and embarrass themselves in entrance of unsuspecting individuals. (“Dennis Quaid is right here!” is a traditional.)
Kutcher, whose MTV sequence Punk’d was a staple within the early 2000s, terrified numerous celebrities all through his stint as host, together with Travis Barker, Mandy Moore, The Rock, Lindsay Lohan, Missy Elliott and lots of extra. Probably the most memorable, nonetheless, had been his sensible jokes on Justin Timberlake (who cried when he thought all of his belongings had been being seized by the federal government) and Drake (who visibly panicked when he thought he was concerned in an earthquake).
Nevertheless, not all the celebrities had been laughing. Kutcher didn’t air pranks that celebrities didn’t approve. David Spade and Miley Cyrus had been Punk’d in two separate stunts, however neither allowed MTV to air the clips. Kutcher mentioned he deleted any footage that stars didn’t wish to be seen. “Any movie star that requested us to destroy the tape, I destroyed the tape,” he instructed Esquire in January 2023. “Each single f–king final one.”
