MTV Studios and Quibi announced on Friday that Punk'd is back with a new host: Chance the Rapper.

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

The episodes this go-around will be "bite-sized" cuts, with the full list of celebrity marks set to be announced soon. The new episodes will launch April 6 via the Quibi streaming platform. Below, catch the Punk'd reboot's official teaser, complete with a brief appearance by Megan Thee Stallion:

Punk'd, of course, was co-created by Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg, with the former serving as the hit series' longtime host. The show's most classic format ran from 2003 through 2007, with a one-off reboot airing in 2012 that featured an assortment of guest hosts including Justin Bieber and Tyler, the Creator.

Chance last took on the role of host for a special episode of Late Late Show in December. One month earlier, he appeared on Hot Ones, notably using the resulting discussion to declare Shia LaBeouf "one of the best freestylists of all time."
