Fred Duval—FilmMagic/Getty Images by [Nick Romano / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Nick Romano / Entertainment Weekly Nov 2, 2017 1:46 PM UTC At _Jimmy Kimmel Live_, Halloween is the time of year for [parents to mercilessly prank their kids](http://ew.com/article/2016/11/04/jimmy-kimmel-parents-eat-halloween-candy/) — and that tradition held up even as [Channing Tatum](http://ew.com/movies/2017/10/12/channing-tatum-gambit-release-date/) came on as [guest host](http://ew.com/tv/2017/10/30/jimmy-kimmel-live-channing-tatum-jennifer-lawrence-guest-hosts/). The _Magic Mike_ star and Kimmel himself, who sent in a home video, pranked their own kids by telling them they ate all their Halloween candy. Tatum, for one, is still not over it. “Look, I figured if I’m asking you to do this to your kids, I should probably do it to mine, too,” Tatum said. “Wait till you see it.” When she heard the news, his daughter, 4-year-old Everly, hobbled over on her knees to bury her face against her mom, Jenna Dewan-Tatum. Tatum couldn’t keep up the ruse for very long and finally revealed the actual candy hidden in the other room. “That’s not funny,” she whimpered. “You’re right, that really was not funny,” Tatum said after the video aired. “I’m so sorry, baby. I hope you forgive me someday for that.” Kimmel’s daughter, Jane, 3, took the prank much better. She wasn’t mad about the Halloween candy. She wasn’t happy, either. She said she was sad, but when the timer went off for the waffles, she did a 180\. Jane later got depressed when she realized the Swedish Fish were all gone, too. But, again, she started laughing when her dad said he also ate the bubbles. Maybe she was in better spirits because [the same thing happened to her last year](http://ew.com/article/2016/11/02/jimmy-kimmel-halloween-candy-kids-prank/). _This_ [_article_](http://ew.com/tv/2017/11/02/channing-tatum-jimmy-kimmel-halloween-candy-prank/) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5007054/channing-tatum-jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5007054/channing-tatum-jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank/"},"headline":"Channing Tatum Apologizes for Pulling Jimmy Kimmel's Halloween Candy Prank on His Daughter","datePublished":"2017-11-02T13:46:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:26.497Z","description":"\"That's not funny\"","url":"https://time.com/5007054/channing-tatum-jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","celebrities","halloween"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7f0aecbe0a68a51/6988e44e0a4a22da2d9d08df/channing-tatum-halloween-candy-prank.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nick Romano / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta7f0aecbe0a68a51/6988e44e0a4a22da2d9d08df/channing-tatum-halloween-candy-prank.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' World Premiere - Red Carpet Arrivals","caption":"'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' World Premiere - Red Carpet Arrivals","creditText":"Fred Duval—FilmMagic/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5007054/channing-tatum-jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank/","name":"Channing Tatum Apologizes for Pulling Jimmy Kimmel's Halloween Candy Prank on His Daughter"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Why You Should Eat Your Halloween Candy All at Once","description":"For people who typically hoard Halloween candy past Thanksgiving, here’s some surprising advice: Some dentists actually condone eating your Halloween candy at one time, rather than rationing it out over weeks.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/TFLyEjyY/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-10-31T17:26:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/TFLyEjyY.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5007054/channing-tatum-jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank/","duration":"PT1M48S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5007054/channing-tatum-jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
