William Gary Busey (born June 29, 1944) is an American actor and comedian who appeared in 3 Impractical Jokers episodes between 2017 to 2018. Busey and his family are diehard fans of Impractical Jokers since the show first aired in 2011 and as a result, Busey has made some appearances on the show as a guest.
Appearances[]
Lady and the Tramp[]
Gary Busey first appeared in the episode Lady and the Tramp during the two-way mirror "try not to laugh" challenge in which Murr consumes a potion and transforms into a rock version of Busey. This got Sal to lose the challenge by laughing too much.
The Marathon Man[]
Gary Busey next appeared in the episode Marathon Man during the "did they deserve it?" challenge. Murr surprises Sal by changing Sal's turn to the normal "Did I Deserve That?" challenge where the joker (Sal) is the one splashed with water by an angry person rather than the other way around. That angry person happens to be Gary Busey who literally soaks Sal with 2 cups of water, angry with him for calling him Nick Nolte, and telling the stranger to "not even deal with this guy." After first walking out of the store Sal explains what happened, he comes back in and continues fighting with Sal by throwing cookies at him and then calling him an "idiot". After Busey walks out, Sal wins the challenge by getting the stranger to say he didn't deserve the soaking-and-tongue-lashing from Busey, and, later in the episode, gets revenge on Murr for this with his Marathon punishment.
Staten Island Holiday Spectacular[]
Gary Busey next appeared in this episode during the Toy Vey! challenge where he is supposedly a celebrity endorsing one of the Jokers' toys for being brought to market.
