Jimmy Kimmel is a huge fan of April Fools' Day, but he's usually the one pulling the pranks. Early Wednesday, with the help of Kimmel's wife, Rihanna turned the tables. You could argue that having Rihanna and her crew come in and perform a personal concert for you in your bedroom is a nice prank, but the flashlight in the eyes and the pillows to the head would be unpleasant. Plus, putting the video on national TV. "All right, well, that was a good one," Kimmel said after the prank. And so it was. Watch. —Peter Weber
