A Hilarious Prank War Has Broken Out Between Two Co-Workers
A hilarious Prank War has broken out between two co-workers and it’s become the talk of the internet. What started as some innocent play between associates has taken off around the country. It all started in Covington, Kentucky.
If you’ve driven through the area, you’ve probably noticed a billboard showcasing a man who allegedly consumes over 20 gallons of liquid cheese per year, according to the ad. In fact, you don’t even have to drive through Covington to see the billboard. It’s probably already on your Timeline.
A Hilarious Prank War Has Broken Out Between Two Co-Workers
Initially, the billboard left onlookers confused. “What on earth is that advertising?” The billboard features an ordinary guy looking blankly into your soul. It would definitely be an odd advertisement. Turns out, it’s not an ad at all. It’s actually part of an ongoing prank between two co-workers.
According to WCPO 9, Jonathan Pittman is behind the billboard. He saw his buddy eating mac and cheese and snapped a photo one day. So, he thought it would be funny to put it on a billboard. However, he has not revealed if the alleged amount is true or exaggerated. We’re all wondering!
Pittman reportedly told WCPO 9 that the billboard will be up for four weeks, and cost more than $1,200. Sure, it’s not crazy expensive. However, it’s definitely a costly joke!
The prank has since taken off on social media, where it’s gone viral on reddit. Check out a picture of the billboard below! Then, keep scrolling to hear Jake (the man pictured in the billboard) talk about it!
Who is this mystery man that consumes his liquid cheese and why is there a billboard of him in Ludlow with no other explanation?

5 Famous Funny People Who Got Their Start In Radio
Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest people on earth…and he got his start in radio. Before creating The Office and several other successful movies and shows, he worked as an assistant events manager (or was it assistant to the events manager?) for the University of London Union.
While working there, he was looking for an assistant and interviewed the first individual whose resume he came across. That person happened to be Stephen Merchant. We’ll have more information on him below. I think Ricky’s genius and radio background really came out during An Idiot Abroad. He played conductor and was able to bring the absolute best out of his co-worker Karl Pilkington in a way that only an experienced radio host can do.

Stephen Merchant is likely best known for his work with Ricky Gervais. Merchant co-wrote and co-directed The Office (UK) with Gervais. He also starred alongside him in Extras, and he was phenomenal in that. My favorite project of Stephen’s, however, is Hello Ladies on HBO. He is so funny in that.
As you may have read above, Merchant worked with Gervais in radio starting out together at XFM London. After being let go, they later returned to the station to start The Ricky Gervais Show. It was there were the pair met their producer Karl Pilkington. The rest is history.
Jimmy Kimmel

Inspired by a comedian, who we’ll discuss later, Kimmel pursued radio while he was still in high school. He worked weekends on UNLV’s college station. Then, while attending Arizona State University, he became a popular caller at a local station in the Phoenix area. Before long, he landed a job on a radio show in Seattle where he performed a lot of stunts.
He eventually went on to host shows in Palm Springs and Tucson before landing in Los Angeles as “Jimmy The Sports Guy” for a popular show. It’s great to see his career arch because it’s very similar to my own. He went through the ranks and cut his teeth just like a lot of us who chose a career in radio. The hustle paid off for Jimmy. My story is still largely to be determined. That’s probably putting it nicely.
David Letterman

David Letterman was the funny person who inspired Jimmy Kimmel to go into radio. That’s right! David Letterman got his start working in radio before going on to host late-night shows. Letterman graduated from Ball State University where he studied Radio & Television.
Letterman began as an announcer and newscaster at Ball State’s student-run station. He was fired from there before going to a different station. From there, he worked as a weatherman at a local TV station where people really started to notice his unique sense of humor. Little did they know the guy updating them on coming storms would go on to become one of the funniest entertainers of all-time.
Lucille Ball

You read that correctly! The one and only Lucille Ball started her legendary career with a job in radio. Before she made it big, TheThings says she could only get jobs in the entertainment industry as a support player on radio shows. It didn’t take long for audiences to notice her and she went from being support to the star of her own show.
