Chance the Rapper is the new Ashton Kutcher.

The Chicago rapper announced Friday that he would host the reboot of “Punk’d,” the MTV prank show. The teaser clip released with the announcement shows Chance pranking “Hot Girl Summer” rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

According to MTV, the new iteration of the show will only be available on Quibi, a mobile video platform set to launch in April.

“Punk’d is one of MTV’s most iconic franchises,” Chance said in a statement. “I grew up watching this show and it’s surreal to be in the driver’s seat this time around on Quibi.”

“Punk’d” originally debuted on MTV in 2003. The show had been previously re-booted separately on MTV and BET.
