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 husband made a bowl of cereal and froze it. He put it out in the morning frozen solid. Almost bent the spoon diving in.

Well, I'm not into those jokes, but in 2010 I played a good one. I told a few fam to meet me at my house, and I told them oh it's a bbq, it turned out it was for our engagement party. They all thought it was an elaborate joke! It wasn't until they saw that we had applied for our marriage license that they believed.

A memorable April Fools joke is when I was told it was actually later than it was and I thought I had missed out on an important interview. At the time, it was stressful, but looking back, I realize I missed a lot of the obvious cues.

In the 90s a local radio station told listeners there was an underground Disneyland here in Las Vegas. My good friend fell for it and went searching for it per the radio's instructions. She ended up at a Happy April Fool's Day sign!

My husband was sitting in the chair one April 1st morning. I asked him if he was ill, he said no, I retired. I kept insisting it was an April Fools joke ... but it wasn't. No warning. No plan. Just retired. I WISHED it was an April Fools joke. Lots of life changes I wasn't expecting ... but I got used to it.
