MTV is reviving Punk'd, and it's being reported that Justin Bieber will be hosting the prank show, which was previously Ashton Kutcher's claim to fame pet project.
Kutcher hosted the show when it premiered in 2003, and he will continue as an executive producer through his Katalyst Entertainment production company. According to Vulture, once a deal has been worked out with the 16-year-old singer, he will be the one running the show, though it seems as though Ashton will still have the final say. Sources at MTV said that the network has been looking to bring the franchise back since Kutcher left in 2007 to pursue meatier acting roles.
Ugh, is this good or bad?
