IMPRACTICAL JOKERS MURR EMBARRASSED TV
“In this crazy world we live in where no one seems to be able to get along with everyone and we're at each others' throats, it's nice to have a TV show about the way things used to be and have laughs," Murray said. And the show's Twitter account has more than 876,000 followers. "Impractical Jokers" has become wildly popular, and Murray's Instagram account only has more than 1.4 million followers. "The show works because we’re regular guys," Murray said. If you laugh, you're out of the competition.
In one popular segment called " Laugh Man Standing," the four try to make each other laugh in a medical office waiting room or other place with strangers nearby. "We get embarrassed on TV so you don't have to," he said. More humiliation await losers of various challenges, who often have to endure a punishment. "Impractical Jokers" features Murray and his friends creating awkward settings for each other.Įmbarrassment is a major part of the show, and Murray said it's genuine as they humiliate themselves in public. "Personally, I'm such a big fan of the 'Impractical Jokers.' I jumped at the first chance we got to book Murr and can't wait to see his performance." "With the overwhelming response, we will be looking to produce more family friendly matinee shows in the coming months," Spina said. Off The Hook owner Brien Spina says he plans to bring similar acts to Naples. “I still think we’ve failed far more in life than we succeeded," Murray said. "I remember before we had all this stuff and we're very grateful and humble." The four "failed for many years" until truTV picked up their show - the third such attempt at such a program - more than a decade ago. "We've been best friends 31 years now," Murray said.
They met in 1990 in at an all-boys school, later forming a live improv and sketch comedy troupe called The Tenderloins.
The other three are Joe Gatto, Brian "Q" Quinn and Sal Vulcano. "Impractical Jokers" is a hidden camera reality show that offers some improvisation among the four.
