Nickelodeon’s hidden-camera prank show The Substitute is returning this month with a fresh celebrity leading the new episode.

The show is set to return on Saturday, May 18, at 8 p.m. with comedian Lilly Singh in the guest star slot. From the producers of Undercover Boss, The Substitute uses a team of special effects artists to transform celebrities into a completely unrecognizable substitute teacher, who then pranks students with their bizarre behavior. During the reveal at the end of the show, the school receives a $25,000 donation.

The episode will see Singh go undercover at Woodrow Wilson Middle School in Glendale, CA. The Substitute bowed on April 1 and featured Jace Norman (Henry Danger). It ranked as the top show with kids ages 6 to 11 in its time slot.

The Substitute is produced by Industrial Media’s The Intellectual Property Corporation and Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman (Undercover Boss), with Mike Harney serving as showrunner.
