Literally, our show is friendship on display. It's not a written comedy show. It's not a reality show. It's just four friends making each other laugh. And who doesn't enjoy watching people enjoy their friends?Collection: Friendship
When there's no girls around, there's humor.Collection: Humor
It's an amazing ride we've been on. We're so fortunate.Collection: Amazing
I feel amazing. This is all the result of just changing my eating habits.Collection: Amazing
We sit in a room, laugh, and all come up with comedy situations, which we work out. Sometimes we cross the line, like getting a guy to pull out of his own wedding while the ceremony's taking place.Collection: Wedding
I don't really get embarrassed because my whole life has been one big embarrassment.
Tell me one friend you haven't looked at with hatred and then hugged the next day.
Unfortunately it does happen where some people just aren't willing to be on TV.
The thing that we like about our show is that it's our take on a kind of format. It's a hidden camera comedy show where we don't even call it a 'prank show' because we're made to fool each other and our friends.
We do a lot of work to try to make sure people who we are using as people in the show don't know who we are, because that ruins it.
We like to produce other shows that don't have us in it, that's a big thing.
I was playing an Ikea employee one time and a guy asked me about an armoire, so I ran through the store and he and his lady started running after me, and we end up inside an armoire - literally. It was a lot of fun, but in the end the guy says, 'I can't be on your show. I'm married, and this isn't my wife.'
I've been a big advocate of adopt-don't-shop.
We knew we had a big fan base over there in the U.K. and we were excited to get over there.
I get called Larry more than I get called Joe.
Always be honest with your feelings, and don't let stuff build up.
We even say a lot of the times, we'll put our own filter on. We'll rein each other in when somebody's out there. If we see somebody's getting mad we'll change the direction on purpose. Cause that's not what our show is. It's not getting people upset. It's making each other laugh.
We love a good deal. Outlets, yeah, we do the outlets all the time.
We look around every day on set and pinch ourselves that we're at work.
Shoes and watches are my weaknesses.
The first thing we ever filmed was, we had to eat off people's plates, like we just walked over and took something. We thought we would get punched.
Sal and I were in the mall just shopping, and we're walking through this retail store and little old lady goes 'NO! You're not gonna get at me.' We were just shopping. She was looking for cameras, she was like 'I know who you are, you crazies!' and she walked away from us.
No one comes to New York and says 'We've got to check out Times Square and Spa Castle!'
When there's not girls around you have no choice but to mess around with your guy friends, as guys do, so we got into making each other laugh and get each other in trouble and stuff like that at an early age.
All cheaters shop for Swedish discount furniture.
There was one challenge where Murr took a guy's sock off his shoe and put it in his mouth. I couldn't believe he did that.
I've ruined many Thanksgivings!
I would have gone crazy in a cubicle looking at spreadsheets.
You know, Sal, for a long time would hate taking elevators with me. Because he knew when those doors closed I was going to do something stupid to embarrass him. So he'd opt to take the stairs a lot.
I have no idea how to account anything.
I've done things I was miserable doing, and then I watched the episode and I'm proud of how fun and funny it is.
We're barely a prank show, in my opinion. We don't consider it that, we don't call our stuff pranks. The challenges that we do are more social experiments that put each other in awkward situations.
Playing with my daughter, I sat down because I couldn't chase her anymore and she said, 'Please, Daddy. I love playing with you' and I couldn't catch my breath. I just couldn't. I was heaving, trying to catch my breath and looking at my adorable little girl with her puppy dog eyes pleading with her father to play.
I would always drink iced teas and lemonades and sodas while filming. Now it's only water and coffee.
Yeah, it's just, when you meet people, especially creative, it needs to be chemistry. And I believe we have that really well with Henchy.
Well, our first live show, for us it was the Gramercy.
I love my 'Boom Clap.' Charli XCX is a big one for me.
I would love to do a show at a Bon Jovi concert to get the people in that crowd. That's a good crowd to mess with.
We did sketch comedy, performed live improv, and then we made the transition to TV with 'Impractical Jokers.'
Well 'Impractical Jokers' isn't really a prank show, because the joke is on us. We make ourselves look like idiots in front of the public. So the public is mostly confused about what is happening.
I was at home with my family and have a house full of puppies, and my cousin mentioned that with all the stories I have about my dogs, it might be a cool opportunity to make a memoir of sorts.
We're improv comedians, we're not necessarily actors, we don't come across that way.
Umm, if I could nose anybody... I guess over there it would be Ricky Gervais. He's a hero of mine. I consider him an idol, I love everything he does. So to be able to place my nose on such a Brit legend, that would be my pick.
We didn't like to do the traditional prank show where we felt bad for people having jokes pulled on them.
We thought why don't we just make ourselves the marks of the show. Have our three friends turn the screws on each of us and let the collateral embarrassment be the source of the comedy.
I always enjoy the name game and the two-way mirror challenge.
We love Foxwoods. They have always been good to us and we have filmed our TV show there.
My house is a doghouse.
I didn't realize puppy mills were a problem until my wife, Bessy, and I got our first dog, Cannoli. Cannoli came from a puppy mill and she came with many health issues. It was after we got her that we researched and educated ourselves about the conditions dogs face in puppy mills.
We're not office-work types.
