Fireworks Accident Prank on Japanese TV

A Japanese TV show tricks a comedian into thinking that they are filming a program that introduces beautiful fireworks to viewers. In fact, it is all a set up for a prank:
Earlier in the day, they had spoken to representatives of a fireworks company, watching as the crew loaded an enormous ball into a launching tube. It is supposed to be very impressive when it exploded. But, for some reason, after it is launched into the air, no explosion occurs!
Suddenly, a fake dud crashes through the ceiling of the shed. As the fear-struck comedian flees in terror, everyone gets a good laugh. He thought he was about to be killed! LOL!
