Ok, that was surreal. Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre and Gabourey Sidibe re-creating the famous “Ghostbusters” commercial from the 1984 movie, but promoting a hotline for… pranks? But it’s all real, the phone number works (1-855-PRANX4U) and the three of them have indeed gotten into the pranks business via their upcoming ABC series “The Prank Panel.” Scroll below to watch the promo.
Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel is one of the executive producers on “The Prank Panel,” which airs this summer. On the show, everyday people pitch pranks targeting family members, friends and co-workers to the prankster panel — Knoxville, Andre and Sidibe.

Turner has announced a premiere date for the new seasons of unscripted series Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker’s Wild and Drop the Mic, confirming that both TBS shows will move to sister TNT. Both are set to return January 23, and will encore the following night on TBS, their previous home.
According to Turner, the move to TNT will help pair each series with TNT’s sports audience this time of year, attracted by the network’s NBA coverage. Drop the Mic has featured notable athletes such as Shaquille O’Neal, Rob Gronkowski, Michael Bennett and Odell Beckham Jr. Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker’s Wild has also featured several athletes including Antonio Brown, Julian Edelman and Dana White, in addition to cameos by Michael Strahan who is an executive producer on the show.
