TV: MTV’s Punk’d Returns March 2012
For those of you who weren’t tuned in to MTV on New Years Eve to hear the news and watch the sneak peak of Punk’d, we are letting you know that the comical celebrity hidden camera prank show is returning back on air March 19, 2012. Although the original host, Ashton Kutcher, isn’t coming back other celebrities will take turns hosting the episodes of the show, including Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Bam Margera and more. Aside from the countless number of reality shows and series filled with baby drama and other boring storylines, it seems MTV is turning it back to a more fun direction as they started with the return of Beavis and Butthead. Do you think they should bring back more comedy shows like Wild’N Out as well? Or more music inclined shows such as TRL and SuckerFree?
