Kevin Hart Announces ‘Celebrity Prank Wars’

Kevin Hart revealed his most recent endeavor, Celebrity Prank Wars, after a popular joke about Nick Cannon and the multiple ladies who are the moms of his children.

The duo will step up their “friendly feud” in the upcoming series, which begins on April 6, as Hart and Cannon expand it to include some of their well-known acquaintances.

According to the network, each episode will feature celebrities “planning and committing some of the wildest and most viral pranks on one other,” with co-hosts Cannon and Hart choosing the winner of each prank war.

The show’s celebrity participants will be including Lil Jon, Kofi Kingston, Ludacris, Joel McHale, Killer Mike, Chance the Rapper, Anthony Anderson, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Lil Duval, Big E, Fantasia, Tiffany Haddish, Taraji P. Henson, T-Pain, Robin Thicke, T.I. and Xavier Woods.

A little glimpse of the preview of a fictitious new game show on E! featuring Hart and Cannon in the concept. The video, Having My Baby With Nick Cannon, had Hart hosting the “mother of all game shows,” a dating game spoof in which Cannon was courted by different women hoping to be the mother of his next kid.

“You’re gonna get some contestants that want to have your baby,” Hart says to the studio audience.

Hart, who has been Celebrity Game Face’s host for E! since the show’s launch in 2020, once made fun of Cannon’s relationships on a billboard in Los Angeles by joking that viewers should call Cannon for parenting advice.

Cannon, who promoted the sketch on his own social media, has welcomed 12 children with six separate women since 2011. 

“I’ve seen where people believe a traditional household works, and [yet] there’s a lot of toxicity in that setting,” Cannon said. “It’s not about what society deems is right. It’s like, what makes it right for you? What brings your happiness? What allows you to have joy and how do you define family? We all define family in so many different ways.”
