Celebrity Prank Wars is the hilarious new show for Kevin Hart and Nick Cannon coming to the E! network in April. Cannon and Hart have built their careers on their talent for comedy. The show will feature a range of A-list celebrity guests, who will be the targets of the pranks planned and directed by the hosts.
The premise of Celebrity Prank Wars includes a variety of offbeat pranks, ranging from elaborate and complex setups to more simple and candid gags. Each prank's goal is to get the largest possible reaction from the celebrity target, as well as generate the most buzz and online shares.
The competitive element of the show is also likely to be a major draw for viewers. Both Cannon and Hart are known for their competitive nature, and the show's format will give them plenty of chances to one-up each other and earn bragging rights. The hosts will determine the winner of each episode's celebrity prank war.
The Tweet That Started It
The show's announcement comes after a fairly outlandish Tweet released in March, which appeared to be a new E! game show dubbed Who's Having My Baby? The show claimed to feature Hart and Cannon and their pursuit of discovering what celebrity was pregnant with their kid.
The Tweet went viral, leading to some bafflement about whether the show was genuine. Especially given Cannon's family circumstances.
Cannon's unconventional family setup has been the subject of much debate in the media, with some condemning his decision to have children with multiple partners. However, he has consistently defended his choices, arguing that he can provide love and support to all of his children and their mothers.
However, the controversy surrounding the tweet only served to generate even more interest in the show. Additionally, both Hart and Cannon quickly clarified that the tweet was definitely a joke and that Celebrity Prank Wars was their actual project for the E! network.
More Than Just Co-hosts of Celebrity Prank Wars
Cannon and Hart's irreverent humor and willingness to push boundaries have made them both popular figures in the entertainment world and friends for an exceptionally long time.
Their shared love of comedy has been a key driving force behind their friendship. Cannon and Hart are both extremely passionate about making people laugh and have often collaborated on comedy projects. They share a similar sense of humor and can effortlessly play off each other in a hilarious and natural way.
Cannon and Hart's friendship goes back more than a decade, to when they were both up-and-coming comedians trying to make a name for themselves in the industry. They first crossed paths on the comedy circuit, where they instantly recognized each other's talent and bonded.
A Time-Tested Friendship
Their first collaboration came in 2005 when Cannon directed Hart's stand-up special Kevin Hart: I'm a Grown Little Man. The special was a hit and helped to launch Hart's career. From there, the two went on to work together on a variety of different projects, including films, television shows, and live performances.
One of their most successful collaborations has been the Real Husbands of Hollywood series, which aired on BET from 2013 to 2016. The show was a spoof of the notorious Real Housewives franchise.
Another reason that Cannon and Hart's friendship has remained strong is their shared commitment to giving back to their communities. Both comedians are known for their philanthropic efforts and have used their platforms to support various causes.
It's Deeper Than Comedy
For example, Hart founded the Help From the Hart charity in 2017. The foundation supplies scholarships to students from underprivileged backgrounds to attend historically black colleges and universities.
On the other hand, Cannon has founded numerous initiatives aimed at empowering young people, including working with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
Despite their busy schedules, Cannon and Hart have managed to maintain their friendship. They have supported each other in their personal and professional lives. For example, Cannon congratulated Hart on the birth of his daughter, and Hart attended the grand opening of Cannon's Wild 'N Out restaurant in Miami.
Their strong bond and support for each other's careers have not only made them better comedians but serve as a positive example of how healthy competition and mutual respect can lead to solid and lasting relationships in any industry.
