Impractical Jokers Wiki

Impractical Jokers is an American hidden camera joke reality series that premiered on  on December 15, 2011, and is produced by  Productions. It follows Joseph "Joe" Gatto, James "Murr" Murray, Brian "Q" Quinn, and Salvatore "Prince Herb" Vulcano, the four members of the comedy troupe The Tenderloins, as they coerce one another into doing public pranks while being filmed by hidden cameras. The show differs from other prank television programs as the stars of Impractical Jokers do not know the details of the prank until the moment they are performing it on strangers.

The series' tenth season features a rotating group of guest comedians instead of Gatto, who left the show halfway through Season Nine 9. A feature-length film was theatrically released on February 21, 2020.
