Hi-Jinks is a show on Nick At Nite about pranks on children, often featuring guest appearances by celebrities. It is hosted by Leila Sbitani and, as of the new season, features a laugh track, which in retrospect makes no sense as there would be no audience to watch a hidden camera prank.

Episodes


Note:This list is far from complete.

Season 1

Episode 1: Actress/model Vivica A. Fox (Ella Enchanted, Kill Bill), holds a casting session to find teens to appear in a new commercial for her new fragrance, "Foxy". What the young actors don't know is that they've been set up by their parents to be pranked by Vivica whose new "fragrance" smells awful. Other pranks in the show include a dancing bear at the zoo and giant cell phones being sold to teens.

Episode 2: Five-time NBA allstar Chris Webber (Philadelphia 76ers) appears at an autograph session with his beloved Rookie of the Year trophy. Hidden cameras capture the kids' reactions when the rigged trophy falls over and breaks after the kids touch it. Other pranks in the show include a vending machine that always dispenses the wrong item no matter what buttons the kids press and an elementary school principal who informs the students of the new school uniform policy.

Episode 3: Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise, Stepmom, Dead Man Walking) stands in for her wax figure at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Hidden cameras capture the kids' reactions as her wax figure "comes to life". Other pranks in the show include a talking teddy bear and kids who are shocked to learn their moms got tattoos.

Episode 4 Actor Richard Kind (Mad About You, Spin City) is a bumbling waiter who can't get anything right. Hidden cameras capture the kids' reactions as Richard stumbles and fumbles through serving several families lunch. Other pranks in the show include a collapsing dessert display and a clueless George Washington impersonator who visits a third-grade classroom.
