Crank Yankers Returns – on MTV2
At least one network still thinks that prank phone calls are funny. MTV2 has announced that it will air eight new episodes of Crank Yankers. Crank Yankers started on Comedy Central in 2002, featuring celebrity guest pranksters whose calls were re-enacted by a variety of puppets. While the show has been absent for some time—Comedy Central cancelled its run after 60 episodes—MTV2 finally gave the green light for more new episodes. Among the crank callers are Jimmy Kimmel, Adam Carolla, Wanda Sykes and Sarah Silverman. While I was not a regular follower of the series, I was a fan of the prank phone calls by Sykes and Silverman.
