One of IMTA's favorite alums Ashton Kutcher, 1997, is relaunching his hit TV show Punk'd. According to the New York Daily News: " MTV Monday confirmed months-old speculation that it is bringing back “Punk’d,” the celebrity prank series produced by Ashton Kutcher. The network will unveil a sneak peek at the new edition on Dec. 31 at 11 p.m. during its New Year’s Eve special. MTV is also planning on revealing the host that night, too. “Punk’d” launched in 2003 and ran until 2007. The series is a take on “Candid Camera.” When it launched big-name stars were set up for elaborate pranks and ultimately Kutcher would step out from a hidden location to let them in on the joke."
