It’s been a while since MTV has been relevant, and so they’ve revealed a plan of action . . . and not surprisingly, it has NOTHING to do with music videos, or people watching their actual network.
They’re rebooting “Punk’d” from a decade ago . . . and “Singled Out” from two decades ago. The new versions WON’T air on MTV . . . instead, they’ll be shorter 10-minute episodes, and they’ll be hosted on Quibi, a mobile video platform.
There’s no word when they’ll launch. The original “Punk’d” with Ashton Kutcher aired from 2003 to 2007, and was briefly brought back in 2012. There was also a reboot on BET. “Singled Out” originally ran from 1995 to 1998.
