The pals are no strangers to pivoting, given that their first feature film, Impractical Jokers: The Movie, came out this time last year — just days before the pandemic would not only steal focus, but also close movie theaters indefinitely. According to People, the Tenderloins got busy with other things individually (Murray got married, Vulcano started podcasting, and Gatto got a ninth dog) while the pandemic was in its early stages, but they always made time for each other, too. The guys reunited remotely for Impractical Jokers: Dinner Party, a six-part series that aired in May 2020, and later proved that misery loves company by helping Jameela Jamil out with The Misery Index on TBS.
With the recent greenlighting of Impractical Jokers' tenth season on truTV — and with Deadline confirming the first-look deal the buddies signed with WarnerMedia, paving the way for them to create both scripted and unscripted content for sister platforms like TBS and HBO Max — these hooligans must be doing something right. But for season 9 of truTV's flagship show, it was all about doing it right and doing it safely. "We did our first bit over Zoom. And we did a bit where we're the producers on one end, and the mark is behind the glass in the other room. So I think it should feel pretty seamless," Vulcano told People. "It's a big credit to our team and our staff."
