Lakers forward Metta World Peace has a practical joke show in the works.
Metta’s ‘Artest Media Group’ is partnering with ‘LMNO Productions’ to come up with “a new prank series featuring professional athletes in hidden camera bits.” This hardly comes as a surprise.

That a professional athlete as boisterous as World Peace would want to screw with his peers a little is not only unsurprising, but potentially damn good television.
“Pranking and practical jokes are part of the athletic culture”, said LMNO’s CEO, “so it comes naturally to Metta,”
