Kim Kardashian West Producing Celeb Prank Series For Facebook Watch

Kim Kardashian West, who is arguably the biggest reality television star on earth, is bringing her producing prowess to Facebook Watch with a new prank series titled You Kiddin’ Me.

The ten-episode series, which represents Lionsgate’s first-ever project for Facebook, was inspired by the Kardashian’s family antics, with Kardashian West serving as executive producer. On the show, celebrities will carry out pranks on unsuspecting pedestrians as orchestrated by their own children. Given the interactive bent of Facebook Watch, You Kiddin’ Me will also crowdsource prank concepts from viewers, which will then be carried out on the show. The celebrities and celebrity children slated to appear have yet to be revealed.

“I know from firsthand experience that children are wise beyond their years and can come up with the craziest things,” Kardashian West said in a statement, “so imagine how funny it will be to see them make all the decisions.” Other executive producers on the project include Lionsgate’s Jennifer O’Connell

and Brian Tannenbaum as well as Peter Cohen (Prank My Mom) and Melissa Stokes (Platinum Weddings).
