Impractical Jokers
''Impractical Jokers'' is an American hidden camera-practical joke reality series filmed mainly in New York City and New Jersey that premiered on TruTV on December 15, 2011. It follows Joseph "Joe" Gatto, James "Murr" Murray, Brian "Q" Quinn and Salvatore "Sal" 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 in that the stars of ''Impractical Jokers'' do not know the details of the prank until the moment they are performing it on strangers. While one or two cast-member(s) performs the prank, the other comedians in the troupe are behind the scenes feeding lines to their friend(s) via microphone (with an earpiece). The lines fed to the prankster(s) are meant to create a humorous and awkward exchange between the prankster(s) and the stranger being pranked. In some instances, the jokers create PowerPoint presentations for each other, creating the same kind of humorous effect to trip each other up. The show holds a TV-14 rating due to strong language (although some of the words are bleeped out), suggestive dialogue/content, and crude humor.
The show's second season premiered on December 13, 2012, its third season premiered on January 2, 2014, and its fourth season premiered on January 29, 2015, after being renewed for a 26-episode fourth season. With the fourth season renewal, a 6-episode spinoff series was also announced: ''Jokers Wild!''〔 The show has been renewed for a 26-episode fifth season. The show has been a major hit, garnering millions of views across different viewing platforms across the world. It is the 3rd longest running series on truTV behind the network's other flagship shows ''World's Dumbest'' and ''Operation Repo''.
==Development==
In 1999, Joe Gatto, James Murray (Old Murr), Brian Quinn, and Sal Vulcano, four high school friends from Staten Island, formed the live improv and sketch comedy troupe, The Tenderloins. After a long and successful history, including winning the $100,000 grand prize in NBC's It’s Your Show competition, the group went into television. In 2008, they filmed a pilot episode for a scripted sitcom for Spike TV, but the show did not go to series. TruTV announced the series ''Impractical Jokers'', originally slated to be named "Mission Uncomfortable" on April 12, 2011, 8 months before the show's debut. One of the show's stars, James "Murr" Murray, explained how the hidden camera format made sense based on the jokesters skills. "We needed to find the right format...thing is, we've been doing this for years, but when it's on camera, the embarrassment is amplified."
It was also revealed by Murr on the 4th season finale after party web chat episode that when the series was under development, he originally wanted Patrick Stewart to be the narrator.〔 (uploaded October 23, 2015)〕
