This is going to be an interesting one. This is probably the most elaborate prank/trolling project in existence. The wiki page sums it up fairly well but doesn't go into a ton of detail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windy_City_Heat
Here's my breakdown: Perry Caravello (frequently misspelled as Caramello or Karavello) is a guy who moved to Hollywood in the early 90's trying to be star. Problem is that he's not funny, he can't act, and he could be legit retarded in addition to being an asshole. Perry was "discovered" at the Comedy Store by Don Barris. Don Barris has been long time friends with Jimmy Kimmel and has done a lot at the Comedy Store and currently is the audience warm up for Jimmy Kimmel Live. Don saw potential in Perry and introduced him to Walter Molinksi (or Tony Barbieri, another long time friend of Jimmy Kimmel and a current writer on Jimmy Kimmel Live). They've been fucking with Perry ever since. Culminating in a prank film called Windy City Heat and here's a clip from that:
Perry sued Jimmy Kimmel a few years after the movie came out and that stalled any plans for a sequel. In the mean time Perry fell on hard times and Don felt sorry for him and resurrected the Big 3 with a podcast and to try to stir interest in a sequel or even a TV show. Link to the Podcast:

More recently, Don set up a Kickstarter program to do a reality show with the Big 3 and the pilot has been filmed but no further information is known.
You want another Chris Chan-like rabbit hole to fall into? Now's your chance.

Also, I highly recommend checking out Windy City Heat. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
