TheBlueKat reports that last night’s airing of the MTV show, Punk’d hosted by Ashton Kutcher had Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd as the victims of their skit. Apparently, it involved an eight-year-old boy posing as an interviewer along the red carpet at a Diesel party. The interviewer asked Dom and Billy if they were Hobbits and if they would be assisting Santa this year. There should be re-runs airing this weekend.
