Brad Paisley and Keke Palmer Bring Fun and Pranks to American Idol: Top 20 Round at Disney's Aulani Resort
Brad Paisley and Keke Palmer are set to guest host on American Idol alongside mainstay judges Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Lionel Richie during the show's 24th season. The duo will serve as guest mentors during the Top 20 round, which will take place at Disney's Aulani Resort in Hawaii. The episode will be split into two parts, airing on March 16 and March 23. During the premiere, Bryan and Paisley teamed up to prank Underwood by planning a hilarious scheme involving a fake contestant named Dylan Holmes. Paisley will guide Bryan through funny antics and lines via an earpiece, leading to some amusing moments on the show.
Paisley's instructions to Bryan included teasing Underwood about her bench press abilities, much to her amusement. As Holmes took the stage and began playing the guitar, he abruptly shouted "Pass!" under Paisley's direction. The prank continued with Paisley guiding Bryan to act in unexpected ways, causing Underwood to question his behavior. When Bryan finally used the safe word "hot chicken," Paisley revealed the prank, only to discover that Underwood had been onto them the whole time, as she didn't notice anything unusual about Bryan's actions.
