Punk'd Returns To MTV In March, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus And Others To Host

[TroyTheAverage]

Happy New Year! MTV offered the first bit of TV news for 2012 in the form of an announcement about the host situation for their upcoming revival of the celebrity prank series Punk’d. The network’s announcement also promises “bigger and better laughs and surprises†when Punk’d returns.

Much like the original Punk’d, the MTV series features celebrities pranking celebrities while hidden cameras capture their reactions for our entertainment. One of the big questions following the announcement of the series’ return was, who will fill the shoes of the original host Ashton Kutcher? It appears there won’t be just one celebrity taking over the hosting duties for the series. MTV announced tonight that a new celebrity host the show each week. Among the celebrities set to host this season are Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Kellan Lutz, Bam Margera and Parenthood’s Dax Shepard, who’s no stranger to the series, having once been an actor on the original Punk’d.

Punk’d is slated to return to MTV on Monday, March 19th.

Oh joy, makes me want to watch it.

I never liked the original because I think Ashton Kutcher is a pedophile. I will like this even less.

I watched like half of the first season. I think I only remember laughing a couple of times. The one I laughed at the most was the episode with Zach Braff.

I'm cool with Dax hosting, but the others... fuck no, I don't care how hot I think Miley is! Bieber pranking people and then being a little bitch? I'd rather see him get pranked, and the prank being he gets hit by a bus.

I loved the Kanye one, simply because pissed off Kanye is awesome.

Can't say the guest hosts make me want to watch though. Bam could be good though.
