Perhaps the most satisfying prank is the one that happens to the person who thinks he's pranking you. That is, the reverse-prank! David Spade enlists comedian and car aficionado Jay Leno for his prank show Fameless, where people who think they will become famous are actually just getting pranked. In this exclusive clip for Vulture, Leno is supposed to get interviewed by some poor guy named Brian who believes he's the host of a show called Star Slam. Ah, foolish Brian.
