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!”.

One April Fool's Day when I used to work in an office, our boss was wearing these pants that went up past his ankles (i.e. "High Waters"). We found a photo in a magazine of this model that was wearing them (apparently they were in style at the time?!), pasted a photo of our boss's head on the model's, then drew a speech bubble that said "When's the flood coming?" and hung it up in the main hallway. He walked past it a few times before he even saw it, but when he did he did a double take. He was not very happy, and looking back on it, it was kind of mean. Luckily, we were really friendly with our boss, so we didn't get into trouble.

My favorite is when I got 2 pigs and labeled them 1 and 3 and set them loose in a school - they spent hours trying to find the #2 pig!

The most memorable April Fool's joke was when a few friends and I rearranged our Biology teacher's classroom.

My favorite April Fool's memory was when my parents and I arrived at the airport back home from Florida & my dad had a voicemail from my sister saying she went into labor. Being it was April 1 we were sure she was joking. But nope, that was the day I became an aunt! My niece doesn't take too fondly to us calling her a little April Fool though ;)

It wasn't April, but once I pranked my BF good! We were watching wrestling (WWE), and Vince McMahon was calling someone on live TV to give them money. When he dialed, I called our house phone secretly from my cell, and pretended to get all excited, and told my boyfriend to answer it. He was so freaked out, he thought he was really getting called by Mr. McMahon, who was going to give him money!

I put a rubber band around the faucet spray and the first person in the morning to turn on the water got blasted.

Friends telling me they were engaged, so convincing that I didn't believe it was a joke. Then a few months later when they did get engaged I didn't believe them!!!!

I like this one the best. 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!?.
