TBS Premieres Outrageous Prank Special "Foul Play with Anthony Davis" Featuring Top Athletes Including Mookie Betts, Cameron Brink and D'Angelo Russell
Special to Air after NBA All-Star Game on February 16, 2025
New York, NY - January 27, 2025 - From the mischievous minds of the Impractical Jokers and nine-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis comes "Foul Play with Anthony Davis", a docu-style unscripted comedy that gives some of the greatest athletes in the world one shot to score a great prank, or foul out trying. The half-hour special is set to air immediately following the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, February 16 on TBS.
As prank ringleader, Davis taps famous friends including World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodger Mookie Betts, WNBA Los Angeles Sparks' star Cameron Brink and Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell, to join him in his hijinks. Together, with an assist from the Impractical Jokers, they foil unsuspecting colleagues with pranks including a fake fundraising charity event with Clippers' shooting guard Terance Mann, an off-the-rails promotional shoot with LA Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt, and a statue unveiling gone awry with Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. "Foul Play with Anthony Davis" will show the audience how everything comes together... and how easily it can fall apart.
"Most people don't know, but I have a passion for pranks. Whether it's pranking my teammates or friends and family, I love making people laugh and doing whatever it takes to bring some joy and fun to the situation," said Davis. "Thank you to Impractical Jokers, TBS and the whole team for helping bring my vison for this show to life."
"When AD came to play with us on Impractical Jokers, we were blown away by his sense of humor, stunning (yes, stunning) charisma and absolute commitment to the bit. He can shoot hoops pretty good, we guess, but the man was born for messing with people and making people laugh," said James Murray, Brian Quinn, and Sal Vulcano. "It was a no brainer, and a hell of a good time, to help him bring his idea to life. The court side seats are just a bonus for us. Can't wait for people to see this."
"Foul Play with Anthony Davis" is produced by Grandma's House Entertainment, Bad Woods Entertainment, and 4.4.Forty Media.
