In a preview for the show, Davis revealed his love for pranks, a side of him that many fans may not have seen before.
“Most people don’t know, but I have a passion for pranks,” Davis said. “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.” “It’s like Impractical Jokers… but a lot taller,” Davis joked, referencing his 6’10” frame.
A lineup of athletes from various sports, including World Series Champion Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers, will be featured in the show.
Los Angeles Sparks WNBA superstar Cameron Brink and Brooklyn Nets point guard D’Angelo Russell are also a part of the team. They will carry out a series of outrageous pranks, such as a fake charity fundraising event with Clippers guard Terance Mann.
A promotional shoot with Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt and a statue unveiling with Dodgers manager Dave Roberts went awry.
The stars of Impractical Jokers are helping Davis bring his vision to life by supporting his foray into comedy. The comedic trio responsible for the hit show, James Murray, Brian Quinn, and Sal Vulcano, appreciated Davis’ comedic talent.
“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,” they said. “It was a no-brainer, and a hell of a good time, to help him bring his idea to life.”
