The Prank Panel is an American reality comedy series that premiered on ABC on May 24, 2023. The series features a panel of judges made up by Eric André, Johnny Knoxville, and Gabourey Sidibe hearing pitches of potential pranks from individuals who want to plot elaborate acts of comedy and revenge on individuals in their lives. If the judges like the pitch, they plan, perform, and record the prank.

Production

The series was announced in November 2022.

While filming in December 2022, a handyman hired via TaskRabbit sued Johnny Knoxville for emotional distress he experienced during a prank.

Eric André quit filming the show multiple times due to Knoxville's incessant pranking of him, but he was finally coaxed to return with Knoxville making a truce.

The show has not been on air or in production since a lawsuit from Producer Daniel Curry allegedly states that Knoxville tased him without provocation, seeking $3 million in medical bills and damages.
