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!”.

A friend of mine totally made me think she was pregnant on April Fool's day. In fact, she kept the ruse going for a good week before finally telling me she wasn't.

I loved the Katie Couric & James Corden's April fools prank the best. That was classic. I seen where a guy played a trick on his friend who always entered the Publishers Clearing house. His friend rented the works to fool his friend then said April fools. His friend didn't think it was funny AT ALL!! He actually got really mad about it. LOL

I told a friend we were moving out of state and because it was April Fools, I got my mother to go along with it. Her mother actually called my mother to find out if we were actually moving.

While at work, one of the men put a walkie talkie in the ladies room. If they saw one of us girls going into the ladies room, we would hear men loudly talking.....like, get out of the ladies room.........we can see you......each one of us jumped wondering where the voice was coming from "inside" the ladies room. I finally heard the guys laughing like crazy outside the ladies room. OMG! Did we all laugh. These men are always up to something funny.

I'll call a friend around 2 or 3am. Crying, I'll them them my husband got arrested and in my hysterical state, I say I need a ride to the jail where they're holding him. They agree to come & get me & take me to the jail and we end the call. I wait a few seconds & call them back saying "April Fools!". Being the true friend that they are, they laugh & tell me how they fumbled around getting dressed & finding their keys.
