Impractical Jokers is an American hidden camera comedy and reality show with improvisational elements. Produced by NorthSouth Productions, Impractical Jokers premiered on truTV on December 15, 2011, starring the members of The Tenderloins: James "Murr" Murray, Brian "Q" Quinn, Sal Vulcano, and formerly Joe Gatto. In March 2024, it was announced that the series will relocate to TBS, who originally simulcast the tenth season, due to a programing network overhaul at truTV. Despite this, truTV will continue to air reruns.[2]

Impractical Jokers' eleventh season premiered on July 11, 2024.[3] That season features a rotating group of guest comedians instead of Gatto, who left the show halfway through season 9.[4][5][6][7] A feature-length film was theatrically released on February 21, 2020.[8][9]
