Check out: 12 Hilarious Challenges From ‘Impractical Jokers’
Even though TruTV has yet to renew Impractical Jokers for a second season, it’s but a mere press release away from happening. With that, we spoke to series stars Joe Gatto and James Murray about where they’d like to take the series in the future.
Making sure not too stray far away from what everyone loves about Impractical Jokers, Sal Vulcano, Joe, Murr, and Brian Quinn makes sure to note that they’re going to try and focus on making their great show even more so.
Thanks to the popularity of Impractical Jokers season 1, it may be much easier to for them to do just that:
Murr: My feeling is that in season 2, we’re just going to work on making it edgier and funnier – pushing the boundaries in more. More clever scenarios that you’ve never seen in season 1. I think we’ll have even better locations. We had some amazing locations in season one, but now that the show is on the air and people love it, I think we’ll have more amazing locations in season 2 that are like “Holy cow! How did they get to film there?”
On top of upgrading the challenges for season 2, Joe says that viewers may also get more of a behind-in-scenes look at the Impractical Jokers:
Joe: I think people would like to see our relationship more – us being friends in real life, messing with each other. Not necessarily in the challenge capacity, but maybe in the pre-challenge, when we’re getting ready to do something, or even go behind-the-scenes to hang out with us there a little more.
In the shoe store, we put in of these moments that people have really taken to – the chapstick moment, where Murray tries to borrow Sal’s chapstick from him, and they get in a little tete-a-tete about it. It’s just friends being friends, but I think people like to see our relationships that way.
And after pillow fights in IKEA, massages on the boardwalk, and medieval tales about the Castle of White, everyone is wondering where exactly the Impractical Jokers may show up next. In season 2 everyone may have to wonder – because the Impractical Jokers could be coming to your town… perhaps with a guest?
Murr: In season 2 we may travel a little bit – get outside of New York City a little bit more, to see what it’s like to do a challenge on “Main Street USA,” in a town somewhere. That might be fun.
And who knows, we might have a celebrity guest or two, in season 2, to make a little appearance in a challenge. It would be fun to tell a celebrity what to say or do.
Will Impractical Jokers be great outside of New York City? Who knows. But I, for one, am excited to see what happens. And if Joe, Sal, Murr and Q thinking that a certain celebrity or two is funny enough to pull it off, I will happily sit back and laugh. Yanni is hilarious.
When it comes to Impractical Jokers, it’s hard to complain or find fault in any plans that Joe, Sal Murr and Q may have for the series in season 2. Even if you’re not a fan of celebrities showing up in Impractical Jokers, or you’d rather the series stay in New York City, or you’re just that b*** Irene, the series as a whole not only reinvented what a hidden camera series could be – it also continuously evolved itself throughout its first season.
Of course, if you REALLY have a problem with Yanni trying to make his Impratical Jokers debut, Murr sets the record straight:
Who knows… These are things we may do in season 2.

This show is garbage. DUMP IT.
GO EAT DOG POOP! YOU HAVE NO PERSONALLY AND CLEARLY NO EYE FOR LAUGHTER! AND GUESS WHAT, NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!
I second that!
I third, fourth, and fifth that!
Seriously, when you were around high school and/or college age. Didn’t you have some friends you hung around with and joked with. This show is hilarious ‘and’ it brings back fond memories for most people.
Personally, I would love to hang with these guys IRL. And ‘that’ is exactly the feeling you want a show to give a viewer. This is ‘gold’.
Absolutely the funniest show on TV. Myself, n my four daughters can’t wait for new episodes. We watch with tears flowing down our face. Even my 74 year old father enjoys this show. We can’t wait for more episodes!! Keep it up ! Enjoy it tremendously. Funny , Funny, funny !!
The funniest show on TV, by far. Me and my four daughters can’t wait for new episodes. We watch with tears flowing down our faces. Even my 74 year old father watches. We enjoy your show tremendously. Keep it up. Funny, Funny, Funny !!
My son and I look forward to sitting down together and tuning in to this show. We find the humor and spontanious ideas hillarious and different. Also, the four friends have obvious chemistry and they just click together.. After waiting for Season two to begin, we were so excited when it did. Tonight we sat down to watch the new eposode in season two only to find out it was a recap of scenes we’ve already seen a dozen times. Very disapointing. We’re both a little bummed out that we didn’t get our new IJ fix. You’ve had all Summer to tape new stuff and its hard to understand why you are showing old recaps …yet again.
I watch your show several times and thought it was pretty funny however I won’t be watching it anymore after tonight’s episode of encouraging a young girl to go down the aisle to give her
Candy. this wasn’t funny this was sick.
candycandysome candy
Understand that you are one of the things that’s wrong with this world and then do it a favor and kill yourself you killjoy b**** Irene. Thanks (and I mean it go kill yourself)
Must…get…sense…of…humor…before…commenting…again
You’re the one that’s sick Patricia, if any time you see someone give a child candy your mind instantly associates it with whatever twisted child abuse is floating around in your head.
you guys r excellent keep up the good jokes me and my wife love when u come on cant wait for more to come on hurry up i cant wait any longer lmfao
come on with new ones were waiting we get a great laugh from ye that makes our day

Oh heck what what? no more children with little parts and little minds you know where it’s still little Awe sorry honey grow up and do something to be proud of only 11 years old think it’s cute no more dumb ass .
That probably would have worked better in English.
I love the show! It is my favorite show now & I look forward to it every week! Thank you guys for bringing so much laughterin my life! I wish the show was on every day!
We love the show. It has been a long time since I can cut a gut. I have I tunes and puchased the whole season 2. However, there have only been 4 episodes ???? and nothing for well over a month …. are they going to shoot more or what ???
^ this.
Same here, no worries however, I understand the new season episodes come out in Decemeber.
Best show ever please don’t stop making this what happened to the rest of 2ND season?
The Best Show To EVER Hit TruTv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. To be able to laugh out loud this much while watching a television show proves its success. Very excited about season 2!
One thing though, please do not change or change anything about the show. We see this happen all the time once a show is aired and becomes a hit (John and Kate + 8………)!
All guys are totally priceless!!! You compliment each other!! Your fabulous!!! You do what other people wish they could do.
Love this program!! Can’t wait to watch new season!! Still have all episodes recorded!
Luv this program, can’t wait for new season!! I still have reruns recorded…!!
Impractacal jokers please come to philidelpha
I really liked the Impractical Jokers seasons 1 and 2!!! Are they ever going to upgrade it and make more seasons and episodes of Impractical Jokers?
Love it , Love It , Love it – Please hurry up Season 2 there is nothing like this program. We need laughter. These guys have LOL all booked up.
The personalities are real comedians. Each has his own strength – but together – they are WINNERS LIKE NO OTHER TV SHOW!
I was so disappointed when season I ended.
This is the only show on TV I looked forward to watching. Please bring it back. There is so many copycat programs out there. This one is so funny, nothing like it! Greatest show out there. Bring me the laughs again.
I keep checking the tru TV schedule to see which Thursday you’re going to be on again. Try Piscataway New Jersey when thinking of which town to do jokes in. The town’s name itself would make you want to do a joke. Cheryl
i absolutely love impractical jokers Joe and Q are awesome
