Donald Faison, best known for his role as Dr. Turk in Scrubs, will be handling hosting duties on the new TBS series Who Gets the Last Laugh? The series was created by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg (Punk’d) and will feature comedians and comedy actors competing to pull off outrageous practical jokes.
Among the celebs signed up for the show are Andy Dick, Tom Green, D.L. Hughley, Chris Kattan, Bam Margera, Bill Bellamy, Charlie Murphy, Cheri Oteri, and Alan Thicke.
TBS is aiming for a spring 2013 launch of the series.
The Plot: Who Gets the Last Laugh? puts a new twist on the comedy format by pitting three comedians against each other in the ultimate hidden camera comedy sketch challenge. The guest comedians must dream up the funniest and most outrageous sketches possible and then successfully unleash them on the unsuspecting public. A live audience then determines which comedy star really got the last laugh and wins $10,000 for their charity of choice.
