"I'm a great lover of pranks," Jimmy Kimmel noted on Wednesday's Kimmel Live. "Mostly I like them when they're on other people, but I can also appreciate when a good one is pulled on me." Last year, Rihanna broke into Kimmel's house in the middle of the night, waking him up with song and dance. Britney Spears thought the idea was so good, she pulled the same one, again with the full cooperation of Kimmel's wife. As pranks go, this isn't the worst — it isn't hard to think of more unpleasant ways to wake up (anything involving Nair, for example). Still, with wives like this, who needs enemies? Watch below.
