CBS is planning to celebrate April Fool’s Day with a good, old-fashioned celebrity prank show. The premise of the special actually sounds pretty amusing and will feature celebrities including Heidi Klum, Jeff Probst, Ice-T, LeAnn Rimes, Jessica Simpson and Mario Lopez. In the special, titled I Get That A Lot, celebs will attempt to confuse unsuspecting people into doubting whether or not they’re who they appear to be or just someone who looks like a celebrity.
Below is the description as listed by CBS:
“I Get That A Lot features celebrities tricking everyday citizens in a case of supposed "mistaken identity." Working ordinary jobs, these celebrities confuse customers who can't decide if it's the actual celebrity or an astonishing look-alike. As these celebrity jesters continue to deny their true identities, various reactions from their customers solicit exasperated and hilarious responses.”
As I said, this sounds like it could be amusing, especially if the participants are good sports about the whole thing. I can see not completely recognizing some of the people featured in this show but it’ll be really interesting if Mario Lopez and those dimples of his have a hard time selling the whole “I get that a lot” act. He’s got a pretty unmistakable face.
I Get That A Lot will air on Wednesday, April 1st at 8:00 PM ET/PT on CBS.
