"Punk'd" - Ashton Kutcher's Celebrity Hidden Camera Practical Jokes Video ClipsPlay this trailer

This comic series retools "Candid Camera" and "TV Bloopers and Practical Jokes" for the MTV throng by raining mischief on young celebrities (i.e., Katie Holmes, Mandy Moore, Nick Lachey) caught in elaborate pranks and practical jokes. "Punk'd" publicity says, "Master prankster Ashton Kutcher punks celebs down to earth ... and sometimes, he even gets 'em crying.
