Celebrity Prank Wars will premiere on E! network on Thursday, April 6, at 10 pm ET. Fans will be able to stream the epic prank battle show on DirecTV Stream, Fubo TV, and Sling TV. Season 1 of the show is being produced and hosted by Nick Cannon and Kevin Hart, who have a history of pranking each other.
The co-hosts introduced the show to viewers with a prank video, in which Kevin Hart searches for the next woman to give birth to Nick Cannon’s baby. Nick has 12 children with six different women. Cannon later revealed:
"I got you! Having My Baby With Nick Cannon is not real, y'all. But my new E! show with Kevin Hart, Celebrity Prank Wars, is real.”
The show will feature many celebrity duos pranking each other.
Chance the Rapper, Ludacris, and others will feature on Celebrity Prank Wars season 1
Each episode of Celebrity Prank Wars will showcase a “friendly feud” between guest celebrities, who will plan and perpetrate “some of the wildest and most viral pranks on each other.”
Each prank promises to be more elaborate than the previous one, and in the end, the hosts will decide who won the prank battle. The trailer for the series showcases many fake accidents, fire, slime, and shocking incidents, like a pregnant woman’s water breaking and even a crocodile.
