Line 18:
At the end of the second season, when Kutcher tried to "punk" WWE's Goldberg, a yearly tradition began of "punking" WWE wrestlers. In season 3 it was [[Dwayne Johnson | The Rock]], in season 4 it was [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]], and season 5 featured [[Paul_Levesque | Triple H]].
Some controversies arose in seasons 3 and 4, when [[New York Yankees]]' third-baseman [[Alex Rodriguez]] and actor [[Michael Vartan]] threatened to sue Kutcher if the prank was aired on MTV or [[MTV2]]. Alex Rodriguez was ''Punk'd'' by Kutcher but, according to some people, he told Kutcher to destroy that tape and never to air the prank on MTV. Reportedly, the tape was destroyed, but Rodriguez has filed suit against Kutcher for damages.
[[Dave Chappelle]] parodied ''Punk'd'' in a skit from [[Chappelle's Show|his show]] called ''Zapped!'' a more disturbing version of Punk'd. [[The Daily Show]]'s [[Stephen Colbert]] also parodied the show in his well-known segment ''This Week In God'', introducing a new fake program called ''Baptiz'd''.
