The celebrity prank show is on track to come back after Kutcher retired it in 2007, and all signs point to the Bieb hosting with Kutcher producing.

It was first reported by Deadline on Tuesday that MTV was very close to finalizing a deal with Justin for a reboot of the show that would likely start some time next year. The show was originally shelved after four years after it had run out of both popular celebrities and ideas for pranks. MTV maintained that it was interested in bringing the show back, and it with Justin at the helm, it would definitely draw an audience.

We can already think of a handful of celebs we'd love to see Justin mess with (look out Miley Cyrus!). While the original show wore thin after four years, it delivered a few memorable moments such as Jessica Alba trying to figure out how to deal with a naked Dax Shepard and Justin Timberlake growing ever more furious as US Agents repossess his car.
