More about The Prank Panel
Knoxville explained, “Jimmy Kimmel [producer of the show] called me a couple years ago and said ‘Hey, we’re thinking about doing this show.’ We take people of the street, they’ll tell us an idea they have for a prank, and we just help them pull off their prank.” Sidibe added that they choose to do a prank based on how good it is and how wacky the person might be. André called his co-judges his brother and sister and said the three of them share “instant chemistry” that can’t be denied. The show promises chaos, fun, and hilarious reactions.
The introduction video also featured a joke by Sidibe, “Is this an escape room? Because I wanna leave” hearing which her co-judges laughed out loud. While André told TV Insider that a good prankster should have a “distinct point of view,” Sidibe felt “commitment” is very important, and Knoxville added that “a good reaction” is key to the whole concept. André concluded that the pranks shouldn’t feel mean and should be done with love.
