Collider is excited to exclusively unveil a featurette for ABC's new unscripted comedy series, The Prank Panel, which stars Johnny Knoxville, Eric Andre, and Gabourey Sidibe. The series will also air a special advance preview on May 24—for all of you pranksters at heart. The Prank Panel will see people be given the opportunity to pitch elaborate pranks to the panel of "experts," who—in turn—will decide if they want to help produce them.
Andre had previously described the show as "Like Shark Tank, but with pranks," and admitted—while doing the rounds to promote the show—that he very nearly quit because of the campaign of prank terror conducted by his co-star Knoxville upon him. Andre also appeared in last year's Jackass Forever, in which he was the victim of a number of practical jokes by Knoxville and the Jackass crew.

But he’s like the liquid Terminator, the guy is so impervious to pain, that’s like a little pinch to him… He just starts looking at me while he’s being electrocuted, and then he grabs it out of my hand, and then he just starts attacking me with it.
