Though it’s a tradition that’s been going on for hundreds of years, no one is exactly sure how April Fool’s Day got its start. Some believe it originated in France in 1582 when people mistakenly celebrated New Years in April instead of January. Others link April Fool's Day to the unpredictable weather that can fool you this time of year.

Whatever the origin, we can all agree that there’s nothing like a good prank, as long as you’re not the victim. So sit back and enjoy some of the most memorable celebrity April 1st action!

Then read on to learn how you can win a $50 Amazon gift card - and that's no joke!

Last year we saw a pretty epic prank when Rihanna surprised the notorious prankster Jimmy Kimmel by showing up to his house at 1am on April 1st and giving him a private performance while he slept (complete with strobe lights and backup dancers).

Clever News reminds us that a couple of years ago we saw Miley Cyrus and Avril Lavigne go at it as they fought over who was more famous in Canada. The pop singers posted a short video clip to their Instagram on April 1st, 2014 of them pummeling one another. Lavigne later posted a picture to her Twitter captioned “#aprilfools” that shows her about to punch Miley in the face.

Ellen DeGeneres’ idea of a prank seems to be a good scare. She has a history of scaring her guests and on April Fool's Day in 2009 she made Christina Applegate scream in terror not once but twice. The actress was surprised by Ellen hiding in her dressing room before the show. Then during her interview, someone dressed as a fake plant snuck up behind her, inducing another bloodcurdling scream.

And who can forget the time Katie Couric managed one of the most memorable pranks ever on the Late Late Show with James Corden. As Corden introduced Couric, a stunt double appeared at the top of a set of stairs looking like she’s having trouble with her heels. She then goes head over heels, tumbling down each step. Corden rushes over in sheer horror asking if she is okay before the real Katie Couric emerges saying, “April Fool's!”.

my favorite April Fool's joke - I work in an elementary school - so, I always get those "cheesy" jokes - example - "Mrs. M.! There's a spider on your shoulder, back, etc." Always predictable, but the kids think that the joke is so funny and "new" each time they tell it - that's the funny part.

An April Fool's joke that is memorable to me is when we pranked a coworker by putting fake spiders in her drawer. She freaked!

The Katie Couric stunt double fall was AWESOME!! Anything that panics a person for a MINUTE is hilarious and a good prank for April 1st. I used to do so many silly things to my kids' lunches when they were little and needed a packed lunch.

I announced my pregnancy on facebook...of course no one believed me. Until a few months later when I posted pictures of the baby :-D This is one of the only perks of being far from your family.

My favorite April fools pranks are classics like whoopie cushions and putting shaving cream on a sleeping friend's or relatives palm.Then tickling their face with a feather.Watching them touch their face with shaving cream always cracks me up!

After my kids went to sleep we switched their bedrooms around, putting all my daughters things in my sons room and vice versa. They woke up very confused.

My husband would come home and say he got fired just to see my jaw drop! #NotFunny

I remember the one from The Office where Michael Scott told someone he was fired. Very cruel but funny on the show.

I loved last year -- I made the family Brown E's but cutting out brown letter Es and putting them in a pan in the oven. They thought they were getting brownies. :) Cruel!

My husband moved my car at a shopping center so I would think it had been stolen and then sat back and watched my reaction. Not funny!
