A special thank you goes out to Walt Disney Studios and Disney XD for providing this information, photos, as well as the invitation to The Walk The Prank Screening and Studio.
While out in Los Angeles as part of the #JungleBookEvent, I got an opportunity to visit Paramount Pictures and hang out at the set of Disney XD WALK THE PRANK. Our group also got an opportunity to ask questions about this show, which entertains both parents and children alike.
Staring Cody Veith as Chance, Bryce Gheisar as Herman, Jillian Shea Spaeder as Bailey, Brandon Severs as Dusty, and Tobie Windham as Uncle Will Disney XD WALK THE PRANK is an innovative new format that blends scripted comedy with real hidden-camera pranks.

Windham took his passion to television where he appeared in the mini-series “The Wesley’s” and the comedy short “Stakes,” which won best narrative short at the San Diego Black Film Festival and a Critics Choice at the Birmingham Film Festival.
We also got to ask Tobie a few questions about the show, and he shared a few fun details like:
- Yes, the cast of WALK THE PRANK does play pranks on one another.
- Tobie had to research the band “One Direction” in order to prepare for a scene in which he becomes emotional about Zayn leaving the band.
- A Target’s friend is usually in on the prank making it “Good-natured and Fun”.
- Pranks are set up by an accomplice team and research is completed to ensure safety and an honest reaction from the Target.
- All pranks are taken from real life situations, Examples: A Baby Sitter’s Job, a Science Fair, or even a Dog Barking behind a fence.
