You Kiddin' Me is an American hidden camera practical joke reality show series that premiered on September 22, 2018, on Facebook Watch.
You Kiddin' Me is described as "a comedic prank series where kids are in charge and celebrities must do everything their own children say. The series peeks into the family relationships of Hollywood stars as children prank their famous parents and an unsuspecting public."[1]
On March 2, 2018, it was announced that Facebook had given the production a series order for a first season consisting of ten episodes.

In a negative review, The Ringers Kate Knibbs criticized the series saying, "Every era gets the Punk'd it deserves, and we are living through a spectacularly dumb and cruel moment. There’s something fitting about how Facebook, notorious for flooding the internet with viral garbage, debuted an accidental, weirdly cruel anti-comedy in its push for original content. You Kiddin’ Me?! isn't funny."[5]
