From reading fake names to taking phone calls from poorly vetted 'guests', this compilation video of news anchors nationwide getting pranked is never not funny. Isn't that right, Hugh Janus?

A roundup of the best and funniest clips of news anchors and reporters becoming the victims of pranks and practical jokes during live broadcasts.

If not being pranked by callers, the anchors play pranks on each other and have fun using video to freak out their co-workers, none of whom are happy about it. My favorite is the small town news cast early on that reads birthday wishes to fake name after fake name, never becoming hip to the fact that it's not likely there is someone named May Ann Naze.
