Can you April fool somebody on March 31st if they're not gonna be at work the next day? Is it agin the rules?
Well, you live in North America, so it'll already be April 1st somewhere else in the world. I say go for it, especially if it is someone who stars in DIY home improvement videos.
In the words of that old favorite song, "It's April first somewhere."
sweeeeeeet,, I've got 2 good ones.
STFU! One may only April-fool someone when YOU are on April Fool's day and so is the person that you are April-fooling. Them's the rules!

Favorite April Fool's prank ever:
For some reason I always liked that prank. Harmless, annoying, and hilarious to anybody watching (even though I wound up answering the phone a few times - I just told people it had already been sold).
Several years ago my cousin and I played an epic April Fools' prank on a mutual friend. This guy, we'll call him Chris, was really into hunting and had a fascination with going to Saskatchewan and bagging moose. My cousin wanted to bait him into thinking he had won a contest for an all-expenses-paid trip to Canada for a hunting excursion. He wasn't sure how to do it, though.
Being pretty good at doing voices (one of the reasons my players love me as a GM), I volunteered to call Chris and give him the "good news", in the guise of a call center rep from Ducks Unlimited (Ricky Vernon, a caricature of every gool ol' boy I've ever known in the Deep South). We decided to tell Chris that my cousin had entered him in a Ducks Unlimited raffle and he won the drawing for the grand prize.
Now, bear in mind that I know NOTHING about hunting. I grew up in a rural area where guns were always a fact of day to day life, and while I'm a passable shot, I've never cared to kill animals for sport. I don't object to people doing it; it's just not fun to me. So, to pull this prank off and make it believable, I had to do a lot of research.
Apparently it paid off. About fifteen minutes after I made the phone call to Chris, my cousin called me and said, "Dude, he is telling everyone he knows about this trip. I have five different people calling me and asking me if this is a joke and thinking I'm behind it somehow. He hasn't caught on yet, though, so let's go with it."
Chris called me back about three times that day before I couldn't take it any more and let the cat out of the bag, dropping ym Ricky voice and telling him who I was. He dejectedly said, "Alright man, see ya," and hung up on me. I never heard anything else about it, but apparently there were some pretty hard feelings between Chris and my cousin for a while because of this joke.
I still think it was worth it, though, and to this day I run into people who go, "Oh crap, you're the guy who pulled the Ducks Unlimited joke on Chris!"
