Thank you to Disney for sponsoring my attendance at the #JungleBookEvent, which included a visit to the set of Walk The Prank!
Have you caught Walk The Prank yet on Disney XD? If you haven’t, you’re in luck. You can catch an all new episode tonight and every Wednesday!
Walk The Prank blends scripted comedy with real hidden-camera pranks. The storylines center on the four young stars’ antics at home and school. The hidden-camera pranks shown are genuine reactions from unsuspecting strangers.
Last week I told you all about our really cool visit to the set of Walk The Prank. Today I’m introducing you to the cast!

Cody Veith stars as Chance, the fearless prankster who lives life to the fullest in Disney XD’s “Walk the Prank.”
Born in Florida, Veith’s organic humor and comedic timing landed him a role on “Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn.” He also played a lead role in the short film, “Spark.”
In his spare time, Veith enjoys playing sports including soccer and football. He currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada, and has two younger brothers and a sister.
One funny moment during our set visit was overhearing someone explain to Cody that we were all there to write about Walk The Prank on our sites. All 25 of us. I believe he said, in shock, something along the lines of, “Wow, that’s a lot of coverage.” He was such a cool guy, and lots of fun during our quick photo shoot in the joke shop.

Tobie served as something of an unofficial tour guide during our visit, posing for pictures and answering all of our questions. He also told me my bunny-eared phone case was really cool, which endeared him to me instantly.
You could tell that the cast and crew of Walk The Prank have a blast making the show. And why wouldn’t they when their job is to play hilarious pranks on people?
On tonight’s episode (April 20, 2016), Chance and Herman learn that their father is up for a big promotion. They might have to move to a different city if he gets the job! You can catch all new episodes of Walk The Prank on Disney XD every Wednesday night at 8:30pm.
