Move over Ashton Kutcher, seems like a certain teen icon in the name of Justin Bieber will soon be taking over your throne as the new host (and king) of Punk’d. According to a variety of sources, MTV is currently working to revive its past series Punk’d , with the teen heartthrob as the new host.
Having been established himself as a young and influential pop icon, MTV believes that Bieber is just the right one to hold the program whose pranks is primarily aimed for the entertainment of teenagers and those who are in their early 20s and 30s. MTV also believes that it will be another good leap for Bieber’s career as the show will add to his exposure and popularity. Sources said that if everything went well into plan, the show will be premiered early next year.
As for Ashton, is he harboring hard feelings that he is now kicked out of his own series where he got his own share of popularity?
Definitely not. For starters, Ashton Kutcher was the one who actually created the show. In fact, Kutcher’s own production company, Katalyst, will be the one starting the program again. Kutcher, will definitely be returning as a part of Punk’d but as an executive producer together with Jason Goldberg.
