and this guy... -Raaah!
-...is my best friend.
-And I’m Kevin Hart, and this guy here...
-[ Laughs ]
-...is someone who calls me their best friend.
-Take it from us,
there’s nothing that besties do better...
-Than pranking each other.
Oh! -[ Laughs ]
Nothing brings friends closer together
than a good prank done well.
-And that’s why we created "Celebrity Prank Wars"...
-You have entered battle.
-Dear God.
-...the show where we help our famous friends...
[ Horn blows ]
...pull off some of the most elaborate...
-I’m [bleep] man.
-Oh [bleep] -...unexpected...
...adrenaline-pumping...
-Oh [bleep]
-...and eye-opening pranks.
[ Laughter ]
-Each week, Nick and myself pair up with a different celebrity
to engage in a prank war.
-That is where the slime is gonna come.
-Come from the ceiling? -Vomit is good.
-He wanted to prank me? -What?!
-After team one pulls their prank...
Let’s get it!
...the other team has to get their revenge.
-I need retribution.
[ Both laugh ]
-Now on "Celebrity Prank Wars,"
it’s Joel McHale versus Anthony Anderson.
"Celebrity Prank Wars..."
-Starts now.
♪
-Welcome to "Celebrity Prank Wars."
I am Nick Cannon, the reigning champion,
the prank king, the best host on television.
-Well, all of that is completely false
because I am the Kevin Hart, a. k. a. the prank god.
And in this particular episode,
you will soon see not only defeat...
-Whose feet? -I didn’t say "feet."
I said "defeat." Defeat.
-Y’all said it like "da house..."
-No. -"...da crib..."
-No -"...da cars..."
-No. -"Da feet."
Da feet. -Okay.
Nick, in this episode, you have you who?
-Oh, I got my man, Mr. Funny, Joel McHale.
That’s my brother. Who you got?
-Well, I have someone I’m gonna call a winner,
and that’s Anthony Anderson.
Because -- Because I know what Anthony is capable of.
-Anthony’s good.
-Well, listen, he’s so much better with my involvement.
-Than Joel McHale? -Whoa. Oh, my God. What?
-I mean, if we just going, just build...
-Levels. Levels! -Joel McHale’s like 6’7".
-It doesn’t matter how tall Joel is.
-And has, like, beautiful hair.
-Well, Joel’s hair -- first of all, Joel wears a toupee.
-Oh, wow. -That’s the first thing.
-He’s gonna out all his business out here?
-Joel McHale has worn a toupee for years.
-Wow. -Everybody knows it.
-I’m not gonna say anything bad about Anthony Anderson
’cause I actually love him.
-I love Joel, too.
-Well, anyways, I got my friend, who,
I believe his hair looks amazing, Joel McHale.
-Yeah. And I have Anthony Anderson.
-And you have Anthony Anderson.
So, I believe, since I am the prank king,
the current champion, best host on television,
I should be able to go first and set up Joel the right way.
-You know what? That is absolutely fine with me.
-Let’s get it.
♪
[ FaceTime ringing ]
-Nick. -Yo.
-What’s happening?
-Alright, Joel, so check it, man.
I got a little proposition for you.
So, Kevin Hart and I have a little prank war going, right?
-Yes. -Okay.
So, we’re taking it up a notch,
and we’re getting other people in on the action.
-Don’t want to do it.
Even if I was available, I’m not interested.
-Alright. -No, that all sounds great.
Anyway.
-Okay, so, we’re thinking,
I know you and Anthony Anderson are super cool, and,
you know, y’all got a little playful friendship, right?
-Who’s Anthony?
Anthony and I together insult each other
like nobody’s business.
-Alright, man, that’s awesome.
I’m so glad you’re coming aboard.
I have to show you the ropes, you know,
’cause I’m the prank king, right?
I’m gonna show you how this prank sausage is made.
-Wait, we get to have sausage?
-Yep. All the sausage you want.
Alright, so all you got to do is step back,
and let us know how you want to prank Anthony.
And we will take care of the rest.
-This is a good deal.
Anthony has always been jealous of me
and everything I’ve ever done with my career and my life.
And his mom loves me.
I think his mom loves me more than him.
And that bothers him. And I get it.
♪
So, I am engaging in a prank war with Anthony Anderson,
and I can already tell you in advance
I’m going to win.
Anthony, he’s not the most observant of human beings.
He’s an actor.
And we all know about actors. They’re dumb.
And now Nick Cannon’s calling me again.
Here we go.
Nick. -Yo.
-You need to stop calling me like this.
It’s stalking.
-Look, we got a prank war to plan, man.
Did you give it any thought?
-I’ve been thinking about it over the last couple years.
And I don’t know if you know this,
but Anthony loves golf, and he’s pretty terrible at it,
so I think that would be a perfect place to scare him,
surprise him, prank him, something like that.
He tries to make fun of me. He makes fun of my swing.
So, I think it’s about time.
-Okay. I think that’s great.
So, you can get him to meet you at a golf course.
-Oh, he is always ready to meet me.
He wants to be my best friend constantly.
So, that is not a problem.
-Boom. Golf course it is.
Alright, now let’s talk about what we’re gonna do there.
-I know, like, exploding golf balls are a thing.
I like that idea.
But I would like the explosion to be larger.
So, what do you think?
We blow up the 16th hole or something?
-That’s an idea.
I don’t know if we can blow up an entire hole,
but we can blow something up. -Great.
-So, I’m gonna get my producers on the line,
so they can go secure a golf course.
You think you can meet them there?
-Can you make sure it’s, like, a super fancy golf course?
-Alright, so, my team and I have done some reconnaissance,
and we’ve been able to secure filming
at Monterey Park Golf Course.
Now, I sent my producer Kevin -- no, not that Kevin,
the other Kevin -- to see what other prank ideas
he and Joel can come up with.
-Hey, Joel. -Is there a Kevin here?
-It might be me. -Hi. Joel.
-I’m the less important Kevin on this project.
-How dare you say that.
You’re much taller than the other Kevin.
-Well, I don’t know if that counts for much.
-Well, Nick Cannon is helping me pull off this prank,
and I have no doubt he has access to all the things
we need to pull this prank off
and make Anthony Anderson run screaming into the woods.
So, did you bring explosives? -Yeah.
Here’s the deal -- we can take this putting green over,
but the place that really started to get interesting
was the driving range.
-I think the driving range is a good place for an explosion.
So, I got an idea. -Hit me.
-What if we blow up the golf cart that picks up the balls?
-Okay. Alright.
-Look, when I grew up, we would go to this range,
and if you hit the cart,
then you would win a bucket of balls.
In this case, I want it to explode.
When you have people like, you know, Kevin,
the producer, who’s got access to explosives,
I might be able to blow up a golf cart,
and blame Anthony Anderson for it.
-I mean, whenever you go to the range,
you try to hit the guy anyway, right?
-Always. -Sort of the fun of it.
-He’s a target. You have to swing at it.
No matter how many people say they don’t...
-Yeah, it’s like that duck in the old, uh,
whatever, gallery thing.
-I think that should shock Anthony quite a bit.
I think we do it under the guise of,
"Hey, Anthony, hit the cart, and we’ll get a bucket of balls.
You can’t afford another one, so you should win one."
When Anthony screams "mother[bleep]"
at the top of his lungs,
I want everyone within a 10-mile radius to hear it,
because we are gonna blow up a golf cart
when he strikes it with a golf ball.
So can we do that tomorrow?
-Yeah. Yeah. -Can you get that together?
-We can get it together. I know you called him.
He wants to golf with you tomorrow, like, at noon, right?
So, we got to figure out what level of explosion
I’m capable of getting in 24 hours.
-I would say the biggest one we can get.
-Alright. The thing that does make me nervous is
how do we make Anthony believe it’s his fault?
-Kevin, you’re a producer, right?
-Yeah.
-You’re like an executive producer.
You need to figure that out. -We will figure it out.
-I can’t be blamed for this. It has to be Anthony Anderson.
-I won’t put it on you.
-’Cause if I blow it up, who’s the prank on?
Me? No. We don’t want that.
I want him to be surprised.
-So, I think the important thing is that,
if you can get him comfortable
with the idea that you’re just here to...
-You want me to get him drunk?
-Drunk on golf.
-You want me to make him relaxed, feel at ease,
we’re just here for a day of hitting balls at the range.
-Yeah.
-And I’m like, "Let’s hit that cart.
That’ll be fun. I used to do that as a kid."
-That’s it.
-"You’ll get a free bucket of --" Boom!
-That’s it. We sucker him in.
And then, we’ll figure out how we make it his fault.
-Yeah. This is a great plan.
-Alright. -Thanks, Kevin.
-You got it, Joel.
-Hey, Anthony, it’s Joel McHale, your hero.
I’m gonna pull a prank on you.
You’re not gonna even know it’s happening.
You’re gonna fall for it. You’re gonna scream.
Believe me, you’ll probably run away.
You’ll run past all your little entourage that you brought --
and by "little," I mean Kevin Hart.
Okay, so, if I miss this putt... -Yeah.
-...it has to be the biggest explosion
you have ever put together.
It has to be dangerous. Okay?
-Okay. -Here we go.
Remember, if I miss...
If I miss...
Oh, shoot.
Alright, so, I missed it.
Now you owe me the biggest explosion you can find.
-Alright.
-Kevin, you look a little nervous.
Did you just hit it? -I did.
Sorry. -Well done.
♪
-It’s prank day, baby,
and Joel worked his magic,
and was able to get Anthony to agree to a round of golf,
beginning with a little practice time on the driving range.
My team showed up bright and early
to get everything ready for today’s prank.
And this morning, it’s all about setting the stage
to make sure that Anthony believes that,
when he arrives to play golf with Joel today,
that there’s a contest at the driving range
involving hitting the target on a very special golf cart.
Now, we’ve added targets to the range,
hired actors pretending to be golfers,
and, most importantly, the pyro guys are ready
to make things blow up nice and big.
As I get ready to watch it all go down with Kevin Hart,
the other Kevin, my producer,
is getting all the cast and crew lined up for Anthony’s arrival.
-Kevin. -Here he is.
Here’s Joel. -I’m here.
-Come on in, man. -Hi.
-Meet the A-Team.
-Hannibal. -This is Jeff.
-Face. -[ Laughs ]
-The crazy one. -Exactly.
Alright, so, what we talked about is the where.
So, here it is. This is the driving range.
-It’s definitely a driving range.
Great job, Kevin. -Delivered as promised.
-What I’m hoping is Anthony not only runs
screaming into the hills,
but I’m gonna take his love of golf
and make him hate it by the end of the day.
I know that sounds mean, a little sadistic,
but he’s an actor, so who cares?
-So, the first person that you’re gonna meet
is gonna be Raph,
who’s gonna be driving that cart around.
Jeff, our bumbling golf manager
that everyone’s kind of afraid of,
because every time Jeff’s around, something bad happens.
So, yeah, Raphael is gonna be the guy that notices
there’s a problem with the cart,
and there’s gonna be, like, a gas smell, right?
-Exactly. -Are you a good actor?
-I’m an excellent actor. -You don’t have to be,
because you have to convince Anthony Anderson.
It’s not like... That’s gonna be easy.
So, don’t even -- You can phone it in.
Will Raph actually die doing this?
-I’m not gonna be driving when the big thing happens.
I’ll be far gone before that.
-Great.
-Remember how we talked about blaming Anthony?
-Yes. Definitely.
-Now, there’s a chance he’s gonna hit
the side of that thing, and that’s great.
But in case he doesn’t -- -Kevin, there is not a chance.
He’s a terrible golfer. -Well, I took that from you.
So, when Raphael decides to pull that cart off the course
because he smells gas, Jeff,
he’s gonna come and distract Anthony
with how much he thinks he’s great, and he’s a fan.
He may not even recognize you -- which, you know,
I’ll let you guys work that out.
-Insulting.
-But he will grab those keys.
And essentially,
Anthony failed at his job of keeping the cart safe.
And eventually, that cart’s gonna be
back out on the course.
And that’s where my man Roy comes in.
-Roy
-So, we were working earlier today with levels.
-I want it so loud that Anthony Anderson screams
so high -- ’cause he scream--
He’s got a very high voice that only dogs can hear.
-So, Roy, why don’t you show Joel
what we were practicing earlier today?
-Oh, gotcha. -Here we go.
-Actors, come on over. -Check this out, guys.
This is what we’re gonna do with just one event.
-Oh!
-I can already hear Anthony screaming.
-Joel McHale. -There he is.
-I smell gas.
-Tee time is TNT time.
-He’s going rogue.
-That was not supposed to happen.
-No mas. No mas!
-Oh [bleep]
-My good friend Joel McHale is teang
to help prank his good friend, Anthony Anderson.
He invited him out to play a round of golf.
But first, they got to warm up at the driving range --
and by "warm up," I mean fire warm.
I mean explosions.
-I want it so loud that Anthony Anderson screams so high --
’Cause he’s got a very high voice that only dogs can hear.
I’m gonna describe the prank to you.
So, we’re gonna lure Anthony Anderson to a golf course,
which shouldn’t be a problem,
’cause he always wants to hang out with me.
There’s gonna be, you know, one of those golf carts
covered in metal that’s picking up all the balls.
And it’s gonna say something like,
"Hey, hit the cart, win a free bucket of balls."
And when his ball hits,
or it looks like his ball hits the cart,
it’s going to explode.
-Come on over. Check this out, guys.
This is what we’re gonna do with just one event.
-Oh! -Yeah.
-Wow. -Very, very good.
I can already hear Anthony screaming.
[ High-pitched ] I’m Anthony Anderson. I’m terrified!
[ Normal voice ] Yep, that’s about right. Thank you, Roy.
-No problem. Any time.
-Thank you, actors I’ll never remember.
-So, let’s button up and get in place.
-Alright.
-Okay, so, Joel... -Yeah.
-...Anthony’s just arrived.
He’s getting his golf clubs.
He should be here in, like, a couple of minutes
or something. -I don’t care.
I’m kidding. I’m very excited.
-Alright. Great.
-Here we go.
-Alright. It is prank time, baby.
Kev, you have no idea
what me and Joel got planned for Anthony.
Ooh, we got some -- something good coming up.
-How good can it be?
-All I’m gonna say is this --
We figured out how to turn a tee time into TNT time.
See what I did there? -Yeah. Yeah.

You always start with the racial [bleep] real early.

-You ever watch "Talk Soup" with him?
-"The Soup." -I’m sorry -- "The Soup."
-Don’t worry, the prank is coming.

That doesn’t give me anything.
No mas. No mas! -That’s it?
What’s the problem?
What happened?
-I’m sorry.
-Did we hit you too many times?
-I’m sorry. It’s just -- I smell a gas leak.
Can you guys smell that?
-I don’t smell a gas leak, but I smell gas.
-Yeah. Yeah, it’s gas.
So, that’s concerning me a little bit.
-Okay. -But I know how to fix it.
I’m just gonna go get the tools and everything.
I’m gonna leave those keys here ’cause I got to fix that thing
before it gets any worse.

Did you pay for that outfit?
-This one?
Yes. I did.

-Just put a major dent in whatever the prank was.
-Is your boss here?
-You know, if you weren’t a celebrity,

But I can now see how delighted you are
at the physical pain of another human being.
-Good job, Joel. That’s a great prank.
-Anthony picked up on it. Like, he was scared at first.
-No, you saw -- You saw the real fear in his eyes of,
"Oh, [bleep]"
Like, "I’m responsible."
-This guy’s a good actor because,
when I hopped in the car to drive off,
you should have seen how big his eyes got.
Talking about losing his job.
White man losing his job at the driving range
is serious business.
So, I was like, "My bad, man. My bad."
I knew something was up when the dude was like,
"Hey, have you seen Bob?"
I was like, "The Black guy is named ’Bob’?"
No.
I’m coming for you.
I don’t know when, don’t know where,
don’t know how,
but consider your days numbered, brother.

his hair didn’t move?
You know why? Because they’re plugs.
It’s a toupee! That’s right.

-Alright, Nick.
You know, I got to admit that you and Joel

Yep, we’re coming for you, Joel.
Okay, first things first, I got to talk to Anthony
and see how he wants to get his revenge.

-Oh, nothing much, man.

I know how Joel and Nick got us good
with the whole exploded golf-cart thing, right?
-I want -- I want to get him good.
-No, I bet you do -- as do I.
Alright, so, look, Ant, tell me about Joel.
Like, I need to know what’s going on
in that pretty but gigantic head of his.
-Now, Joel is vain.
I’m not gonna lie --
I spend a lot of time in the hair and makeup trailer.
I’ve never met anyone who spent more time
in the hair and makeup trailer than me than two people --
Tracee Ellis Ross and Joel McHale.
-Okay, Ant. No, I like that.
Alright, no, ’cause you got my gears spinning already.
Look, what if we were to play around with him
when he was in hair and makeup? -Yeah.
Let’s have some fun with him, with that regard.
-We need to take the world of vanity and turn it on him.
Yeah. Let’s bring him down a notch.
Right? About six notches.
Six to eight notches.
-You know, I have this idea about, you know,
him being in the makeup trailer
and not a conventional makeup chair.
-Okay, so, like -- it’s like a makeup chair from Hell.
Something like that. But under our control, right?
-Something that we can strap him in.
Knowing Joel, he’ll probably sit there and be like,
"Yo, what the [bleep]" -I love it.
-"We want you to get comfortable,
because we know how much you enjoy being pampered."
-I love it.
So -- So this demonic chair, like, what happens next?
When he’s -- he’s strapped in, and then what?
Does it, like, slap him with a giant powder brush,
or some [bleep] or -- I don’t know.
Is it like hydraulic or something?
What do you think?
-Tell me if we can do this, now --
my idea is, you know, if we can come up with something
where, you know, the chair goes through an obstacle course,
you know, roller coaster-esque, and finishes with,
you know, a water feature.
And take a photo at the height of the adventure.
-Alright, so, look, so this is what we do.
We get him in the makeup chair, right,
that’s secretly on wheels.
And eventually, we take that chair,
take control of the whole thing,
give him a ride that he’ll never basically forget.
The ride’ll make him look like [bleep]
Then, we pop a few photos of it, show the entire world
what Joel looks like after he’s been in our makeup chair
slash roller coaster from Hell.
What should we name the theme park, though?
-Anthonyland. -I like that.
I like it. It’s like Disneyland,
but instead -- instead of Disney, it’s Anthony, right?
And instead of it being the happiest place on Earth,
it’s the most miserable place on Earth.
Alright, dope.
So, all we got to do is get him there, right?
The guy’s never not talking on camera,
so that’s not something that should be hard to figure out.
We can easily get him there.
Something that he’s got to do on camera.
We just prioritize whatever that thing is.
-Maybe under the guise of, you know,
something with my game show -- you know, testing, or something.
Something to get him there. We’ll figure it out.
-Alright.
So, look, all we got to do is get him out there.
I’ll have one of my producers reach out to get things rolling.
Ant, why don’t you be the one to lure him out there, though?
-Okay.
-Over the course of the next two days,
you make a commitment to have Joel McHale
strapped in the worst ride in Anthonyland.
-It’s "strap in," not "strap on."
-Well, that’s a different show. -Two different shows.
-No. -Bye.
-Such a dirty mind.
-My relationship with Joel goes back 17 years,
when he was hosting a show called "The Soup."
Immediately, we were like kindred spirits.
We’ve worked together since then.
He’s been a staple on my game show,
"To Tell the Truth," with me and my mom.
So, that’s what’s gonna make this prank even more special.
-Okay.
So, Anthony wants to use Joel’s vanity
as a weapon against him.
I mean, Anthony does have a point.
I mean, look at this man’s hair. I mean, look at it.
Five more seconds of just Joel’s hair, please.
It defies physics. It goes against God.
We’re gonna take Joel’s obsession
with his hair and face and turn it into something that,
I mean, if all goes well, will forever make him question
the safety of his makeup chair.
As Anthony tricks Joel into coming to the set
of his game show for a fake promo shoot,
me and my team are gonna try to retrofit a normal,
everyday makeup chair into an amusement-park ride
filled with some very messy obstacles.
Anthony FaceTimes with my producer Corey
to see how the revenge is taking shape.
-Hey.
-Yo, Anthony. Kevin wanted me to call you
and show you the chair.
-Okay. Okay.
-We’re -- We’re using Kevin’s car guy.
-Don’t know if you want to use Kevin’s car guy.
Alright. Let me look at it.
Let me see what you got.
Aw, yeah!
Look at this. Look at this. Look at this.
Look at that!
There it goes.
Aah!
We’re gonna take him on a little obstacle course.
-It’s my favorite day of the year -- prank day.
-So, he will be "safe"?
-Yeah.
-What the hell?
-Don’t inhale!
-Let me look at it. Let me see what yo
-My team has been prepping for Anthony Anderson’s revenge
on Joel McHale, which involves an out-of-control makeup chair
that may be a little too out of control.
-Aah!
-Okay, so maybe the chair needs a little tweaking
before we get Joel strapped in.
-So, we need other elements,
you know, with the chair, for the obstacle course.
-You know, there needs to be a water feature.
You know, I would really love, you know,
for cannons and confetti to go off.
We’re gonna take him on a little obstacle course,
on a little ride.
Hopefully, there’s a quarter ounce of urine
that comes out because of the speed,
and because of how we -- how good we get him.
Hopefully, he screams.
And I’m not gonna wish a mild heart attack on Joel,
but I hope he comes that close.
Joel’s team is on board.
They’re making it work out for us.
So, all we have to do is just get him there
and show up ourselves
and everything is gonna work perfectly.
-How about we make, uh, make some t-shirts?
-Oh, I love that.
Anthonyland. We’re gonna sell merch.
We’re gonna do all that. -Good times.
-So he knows exactly where he was and who did it to him.
-Oh, I love that.
Okay, so, we got everything in place
when it comes to what you want at the park.
Let me work on this chair.
-I can’t wait. -Alright, Anthony.
-Alright, baby. Peace.
♪
-My team got it done.
They got shirts, mugs, and a lot of other crap that no one wants.
And the ultimate is the makeup chair from Hell,
which will be remote controlled
by the one and only Anthony Anderson.
Joel thinks he’s showing up
on his good buddy Anthony Anderson’s game show.
Of course he showed up. The guy loves to be on camera.
And since it’s Joel, in order to get ready for that camera,
he’s gonna need lots of time in the makeup chair.
That’s where our actress, Olivia, comes into play.
She’ll be playing our makeup artist today.
Well, Anthony has arrived,
and he’s ready to check everything out,
and also put the final plan in place.
-So, Cameron, tell me how this works.
-Basically, we built this where he can come,
he can sit in and get in it easy.
We got this. It’s gonna swing around.
It’ll lock him in place. -Okay.
-Our lovely lady here will clip him in.
-Okay.
-From there, he’s -- he’s -- he’s kind of stuck in the chair.
-So he will be "safe" while in the chair?
-Yeah. -Can we make this spin, Cameron?
Can we get him dizzy? -Oh, yeah.
-Okay. -As many spins as you want.
-Okay, good.
-And then, of course, the idea is that,
once he sits in the chair, gets a little touch-up,
we’ll spin it around, and then he exits this way.
And then, all of a sudden, there’s the obstacle course.
-Okay.
We spent a lot of money on this chair.
It’s gonna be like a carnival ride.
-Alright, So, he comes out here, right?
-Mm-hmm.
-He thinks he’s gonna hit this hay barricade.
-Okay. -He’ll come around here.
And then, eventually, we get what we call [indistinct]
-Okay.
-We’ll hit him with the cannon here.
He loops around. [ Airhorn blasts ]
That’s the sound.
-I can’t wait to see what we do to this man in this chair.
-This is it, people.
Joel is officially in the house.
He’s about to be the first and last customer at Anthonyland,
the world’s most mediocre amusement park
’cause it only has one ride.
And Joel is about to be sitting in it.
♪
-Alright. Let’s get set in our positions.
We are rolling. Rolling.
-Alright, Nick, it’s revenge time.
Are you ready? -I’ve been ready.
-Oh, you think you’re ready. See, what you did was cute.
Anthony and I have something special cooked up
for you, Joel.
Oh, my God. Buckle up.
-Olivia, you’re all clear on what to do?
-Heads up, everybody.
Joel’s leaving his trailer and is on his way to makeup.
♪
-Hello. -Hello.
-How’s it going? -Well. You?
-I’m pretty good. -Great.
A little touch-up here?
-I can already tell yours is a lot more elaborate.
-By the way, you can already tell Joel is an asshole.
Who sits in a makeup chair with sunglasses on?
-So, where are you from? -I’m from Bakersfield.
I have to drive home tonight. -No, you don’t.
-No, literally, I have to drive home tonight.
I’m really not excited.
-That’s gonna take a while.
Sunglasses on or off?
-Uh, could you take them off for a second?
Just close your eyes.
Nice.
-Thanks for the makeup.
-Yeah, he’s got an attitude.
What’s his attitude about, Nick?
-Resting White guy face.
-Yeah, no, I’m really not excited to go back.
I live with my sister.
-You’re about to get it.
I’m sure that your attitude is gonna get you.
-Oh.
♪
-Enjoy the ride.
-Okay.
-Oh, Anthony has the control.
-Great.
What the hell?
-We are back.
Listen up -- me and my boy Anthony Anderson
have tricked Joel McHale into getting locked into
our specially designed makeup chair.
-Okay.
-Unless you’re baby, and it’s mealtime,
there’s nothing good that will ever happen
when you get locked into a chair...
-Great.
-...especially when Anthony Anderson
takes control of the chair, and he can do what he wants.
-What the hell?
This is, uh...
What the hell?
[ Both laugh ]
Who’s driving this?
Is this a prank?
Dear God.
-Don’t inhale!
-I’d be so pissed off.
-Did you just shoot...
Anthony. -Yeah?
-Are you drunk?
[ Airhorn blasts ]
Jeez Louise.
No wonder I’m in a chair.
Makes me feel about the same height as Kevin.
-[ Laughs ]
-Oh, that’s great.
Even in the chair, he still knows
how to take shots at me.
-My Lord, this looks expensive.
What is -- What the -- What is happening?
-[ Laughs ]
-Oh, my Lord.
-This is for your bull[bleep] explosion.
-How dare you.
And that explosion did surprise you.
-No, no, no, no, no, no.
-Okay. This is very pleasant.
-This didn’t surprise you?
Not even when the cocaine blasts through
the pixie dust machine?
-That was cocaine?
-Yeah.
-You can’t put that on NBC -- or Peacock -- or E!
I mean, E! used to have a lot of cocaine.
-[ Laughs ]
-Yeah! -Please.
I’m gonna be sick.
-Just roll with it, Joel.
-This is a prank, Nick.
Not what you did. This is an elaborate prank.
-Oh, dear God.
This is...
really...
This is very immature, Anthony.
-Well, I’m immature.
-You didn’t even let me buy a t-shirt.
-Look at that. Huh? Huh?
Yes. Yes.
Yes, Joel.
-You don’t have to buy a t-shirt.
There you go right there. Welcome to Anthonyland.
-Thank you for having me.
I feel pretty humiliated.
-Alright.
-I just got makeup on, and this is terrible for it.
Alright. What do I do?
-Nothing. You just take whatever you want.
-Alright.
-No.
-That’s what I think of Anthonyland.
What are you gonna do about it?
It’s a pretty poetic...
-Yeah. [ Laughs ]
No. What are you doing?
-You’re not okay with that, but you’re okay with that?
-I didn’t do this to your prank.
-I didn’t have a display.
I wasn’t sell-- I didn’t sell merch at my prank.
$20 for a plastic water bottle?
-Yeah. -No one’s wearing your merch.
-No, Joel, don’t -- Look at you.
-This looks fun. -Take that home to the kids.
-That -- I -- I just hit somebody.
-Joel, that’s not being a good sport.
-Man, he’s really upset.
-Nick, that’s not being a good sport.
-Take it out on the merch.
-Yeah, I mean, why would you do that?
It’s a good prank. Take the prank like a man.
Don’t get an attitude about it, Joel, all right?
-I actually surprised you just a little bit.
-You did. I didn’t surprise you at all.
-I like how what threw you off was, like,
"I don’t know any Black man named Bob."
Of all the flaws in my plan, it was that.
[ Laughter ]
-Those were two good pranks.
-They were two good pranks, but let’s be honest...
-I had pyro. -You had pyro?
I created an amusement park, Nick.
We had a high level of execution.
We created a chair that could go up to 15 miles per hour.
We locked that man in that chair
and took him on a ride of his life,
and then named the park "Anthonyland."
It doesn’t get better than that, Nick.
-We had pyro.
We almost lost Anthony Anderson in our prank.
-That is true.
If Anything had drove that cart and went in the wrong area
and blew up, that would’ve been pretty bad.
That would’ve been very bad. -We had danger.
We had high stakes. -That would’ve been really bad.
Okay, you know what? I’ll give it to you.
-Thank you.
-Yeah! -What the [bleep]?
-Yeah. Here you go.
Remote-control planes for everybody.
I won again.
It really shows you that, even though there was a Black man
named Bob in my prank...
-Yeah. -...I still won.
Anthony, I leave you in second place.
But just know that no one ever remembers that.
-I will. -Nice to see you.
-Good to see you.
♪
Such an ass.
-Aha!
Late.
You done mistimed that, Anthony Anderson.
-Alright, Nick, I’m gonna give you the credit, man.
I guess that you did -- -And the title.
-Okay. I’m not doing that.
-I’ve got good credit. I don’t need no credit from you.
-Nick, I’m not talking -- -750.
-[Bleep]
-Anything above 700 is good.
-I’m 780. -Whatever.
-I beat you. -Whatever.
I won the prank.
Prank king. I don’t want your credit.
I just want what is mine -- the title.
-I am giving you credit for the "W."
-I don’t want your credit.
-Nick, you know what? -750.
-You may be up now, but like I said,
it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.
Because I’ll be damned if I keep losing.
I am the prank god.
Can y’all flicker the lights when I say it?
I am the prank god.
Boom, da-do-doom.
Something like that.
-Next time on "Celebrity Prank Wars"...
-Nick, what up?
-Lil Jon was talking mad [bleep].
-I need to flip this whole thing around.
-We should hit him with an air horn.
-A blast when he least expects it.
