Who was the first celebrity to be "punk'd" by Ashton Kutcher on the MTV hidden camera series "Punk'd"?
The first celebrity to be "punk'd" by Ashton Kutcher on the 2003 MTV hidden camera series "Punk'd" was Justin Timberlake. Timberlake was the first celebrity to be tricked by a "candid camera" that showed him having both mental and physical pains. He even cried during the episode, but later he admitted to being under the influence of 'cannabis'. The show's first prank was set at Timberlake's home, where he was led to believe that U.S. government agents were seizing his home and valuables because of unpaid income taxes.
After his experience (three episodes later), he set up Kelly Osbourne to be "punk'd". This made Justin the first celebrity to appear on the show more than once. Later, Timberlake was able to spoof Ashton Kutcher and "Punk'd" in a 2003 episode of NBC's "Saturday Night Live. In the series premiere, Frankie Muniz appeared and helped with the success of the initial episode.
