Jimmy Kimmel and his wife Molly have a beloved holiday tradition with their neighbors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. I love pranks, and this tradition is a little bit like the Secret Santa game which people often play at work, except it’s no secret who the Santa is, and each year the pranks grow more awesomely creative.
The tradition grew from one small prank that Jimmy’s neighbors played a few years ago, when they broke into his house and set up lighted decorations, to surprise Jimmy when he came home. Of course, Jimmy reciprocated with a clever prank the next year, and now each year the pranks escalate and grow more elaborate, in an attempt to ‘top’ the last one played.
The pranks played this year will be exceedingly difficult to top! No spoilers, but the shot over the bow was fired when Jimmy found his car carefully gift wrapped, and full of – well, just watch and see. No one would be surprised to see Matt Damon come tumbling out of the vehicle, with Sarah Silverman dressed as Rudolph in tow.
Oh, and by the way, John and Emily didn’t stop with just one prank this year, they topped themselves several times! Have fun watching this year’s hilarious series of gotchas…And if you’re inspired, just make sure your friend has a really good sense of humor, because payback can go on for a very long time – apparently!
