Celebrate April Fools' Day with the MarthaStewart.TV App

It's April Fools’ Day!

April Fools' Day offers the chance to summon your inner prankster and catch friends and family cautiously off-guard. I always enjoy a good laugh and have participated in many fun, harmless and successful pranks over the years. From green eggs to glittered furniture, my television staff and I have assembled a gallery of gags on the Martha Stewart TV App for your phone, tablet, and streaming device. If you haven’t already, just download the App today to watch our best bloopers, funniest outtakes, and practical jokes. To subscribe and save, use promo code SPRING19.

From the many thousands of hours of informative, inspirational television my staff and I have filmed, here are some not-so-shining, but absolutely hilarious, moments! Enjoy these videos and photos.

: Readers and viewers always ask if my monthly magazine calendar is genuine. Here, I am showing “duets with Martha Stewart on April 29th” – thank you Barbra Streisand and Lady Gaga for participating.

: During this classic segment, I reveal the scientifically-calibrated diet I feed my hens to ensure they lay the most beautiful eggs in various shades of cream, buff, brown, blue, and green.

: Speaking of eggs, how about green eggs and blue milk? Learn how to make this bemusing breakfast!

: Making a healthful and flavorful dinner can be challenging. In this fun segment, my television crew was kind enough to share a quick and satisfying recipe for Spaghetti Squash with Meatballs.

: My friend, and longtime former colleague, Lisa Wagner, shares her family’s Sponge Cake recipe made with matzo meal – and kitchen sponges!

: Mango provides the perfect foundation for a blanket of whipped cream in this easy yet delicious Mango Fool. Serve after dinner for a silly sweet treat!

: Feeling especially corny? Here, professional cooking teacher and food stylist, Karen Tack, shows us how to make adorable and fun-to-decorate cupcakes topped with jelly beans.

: I love pears and have many pear trees at my Bedford, New York farm. I’m always happy to share my gardening success with the audience – look at these giant fruits!

: Does spaghetti grown and harvested from a Spaghetti Tree still count as a carbohydrate? Watch this humorous segment and see.

: Who doesn’t have the patience to custom-dye, arrange, and sew a traditional six-thousand-piece Yo-Yo Quilt?

: Remember this one? While the camera was still rolling, I took the opportunity to prank the television staff or, as they would say, “exact my revenge.”

: If you’re in search of a unique table centerpiece and happen to have extra tires laying around, this project is for you!

: No, this Bottle Tree was not grown in my garden, but, it is a whimsical way to reuse and display colorful glass bottles.

: Use extreme caution whenever you’re on an elevated surface. I took a nasty fall, right after watering the window boxes on set.

: April Fools’! On that day, a professional stunt woman hung over the railing, using her feet. No “Marthas” were harmed during the filming of the segment.

: April showers can bring power outages. Fortunately, our studio pioneered the practice of clean potato power. Here, a potato power surge protector keeps our studio computers and printers running.

: My cordless vacuum is powered by a sack of homegrown, organic potatoes, fresh from Skylands, my home in Maine.

: Another April Fools’! Starch, salt, and water in potatoes can produce a very low-watt of electricity, like a small calculator or simple LED clock. There isn’t enough power to run a light bulb, or anything larger.

: And one of the funniest segments we did – who knew preparing cheesecake could be such a trial? Former food editor, Susan Sugarman, joined me on set to make her family’s recipe. By the end of taping, we were in tears, mostly from laughter!
