- Welcome to another edition of Eureka! A show and podcast about big ideas and how they came to be.
In this episode, I get to chat with four amazing friends who happen also to be the producers of the show Impractical Jokers that runs on TBS. I caught up with the Jokers, Sal, Murr (yes, I know I called him James - forgive me), Q, and Joe just as they were beginning shooting for Season 8 and right before the launch of their first feature film.
During this episode, we hear directly from the guys just how they developed the show, the multiple failures they had on the way, and of course their moment of Eureka.
Let me know what you think and also subscribe for more interviews like this.

Impractical jokers is one of those shows where if youre having a rough day you put it on and instantly you feel better I absolutely love this show its amazing
RIGHT!
Rightttt
For real, I’ve been going through some really rough times mentally lately and they’ve put a smile on my face on some of the hardest days.
Definitely agree with you 💯👍 I love impractical jokers
It's definitely my antidepressant!
Murr is the smartest
Sal is the most talented comedian
Q is the toughest yet purest soul (cat owner by day, firefighter by night)
Joe is the best at IJ: he was made to make others laugh by fearlessly doing the most foolish tasks
Joe is fearless.
I agree.. I know you're not looking for my approval LoL I'm just saying.
@@jaysmith2151 no no jay, your approval is valid and much appreciated.
Yeah, the presentation was utterly needed
Spot on analysis
This Sal guy looks a LOT like Prince Herb. 🤔
😅
He also looks a lot like Balsamic Vin, weird.

When I was 16, I was basically homeless in NYC. I saw this show the first day it aired on TruTV at a pizza shop in the Lower East Side. I just want the four of you to know, that you helped make such a difficult time in my life just a bit better for me and ever since.
I hope things are better for you now
May I know how are you doing now sir
❤️
"basically homeless" living with mom and dad XD
this made me tear up for some reason
This video needs to get recommended to more people. It's the best interview I've seen with the jokers by far
yes totally
Joe was on theo von podcast. That was great
@@tylito4764 just watched it thanks for recommending
@@tylito4764 Agreed man. I loved that one. If anyone wants the link to it: ua-cam.com/video/H7qa8RnuUm4/v-deo.html
Joe has granted your wish!
Fantastic interview! I've said this often, people don't realize how smart Murr is, he has this image that throws out this idea that he gets "Bullied" by the other 3. Its nonsense, the guy was involved in the Production until season 6-7, he himself signed off on all punishments. He's written a couple of books too - he's a genuinely smart.
Sal - I was super impressed seeing how humble he is, great to see him admit that they were plain lucky - doesn't mean they don't have the talent because quite obviously they are incredibly talented guys, but really glad to see his humility there. SalLAD!
Q and Joe are my favorites anyway, just humble salt of the earth guys. Love these 4, really I wish them the best.
Agreed
Lol yea Murr went to Georgetown University he is undeniably a very smart man
@@youarereadingthis457 Murr may have gone to Georgetown but a kid between the 4th and 6th grade has his diploma
All 4 come off as very smart individuals. I took a little improv and while anyone can do it, the ones that were actually good at it had brains that worked at a higher level. Like Conan who went to Harvard. Razor sharp minds. I also noticed that they all had some very nice accomplished jobs before the show.
@@glenkim9420 That's what I liked about this interview. Before they struck it big with the show, they all had respectable jobs at the time. It's not like they were working at the local restaurant trying to get by. They were doing great things.
The interviewer has done a tremendous job in presenting what people wanted to see ❤️
The chemistry between those 4 lifelong friends is second to none, I envy their friendship
These guys deserve EVERYTHING they worked for. The years put in at other occupations while still chasing the dream of comedy.. nothing but the best of wishes and long life in their endeavors. A shame about Joe. But it's a new chapter
These guys always have interviews that are short and don't really delve into the story behind the show, but it's great that this interview was so well structured and was not rushed. Great job!
What amazed me was when I saw them live 4 years ago, first time, at the Scottrade Center in STL. There were about 8,000 - 10,000 people in the arena. The crowd, was ready including myself. When the Jokers hit the stage I could not believe the crowd, we went NUTS cheering for them. The love and appreciation from the fans was amazing. I had chills up and down my body, I mean it was LOUD. The laughter was non stop. I loved every minute of that evening. When they ended, again a HUGE ovation for 10 minutes. Fans would NOT let the Jokers leave the stage. They gratefully stayed 10-15 minutes taking selfies, signing autographs right there on stage probably a thousand people rushed the stage to meet them. I was amazed at the love and attention from the fans here in Missouri. That was BEST $100 for two tickets I ever spent. That night actually brought my daughter and I together even more. Thank you Sal, Joe, Q and Murr for putting so much joy in our lives. You're family, friends and fans absolutely adore you. Please be safe and hopefully I will get to see you on your're upcoming Scoopsy Potato tour in '21, '22 😉
I’m from stl and this made me cry 💙
This made me cry too and I don't know why! Lol. These guys really do have a hidden superpower to bring people together with laughter. I love it ❤️
I think that was the best interview with them I’ve seen
Agreed. Very well done.
In my 60 plus years if watching Television comedy, this show is hands down the FUNNIEST show I’ve seen.
Joe as the Genie was the most hilarious routine I have ever seen!
I loved the interview. The guys are so natural and earthy. Its an enchanting trait, not to forget where you came from, and why your work is appreciated
I want to see them do jokes in foreign countries like India and Japan. Many foreigners make fools of themselves in Japan, so their path is paved for them there.
A 1 or hour documentary or docuseries about their story would be great
i wish
there will be eventually i just hope they’re well executed
Amazon has Impractical Jokers Specials and the first episode is Practically Live it’s them on tour and they talk about life pre jokers. It’s really good
You can feel Murr's professionalism.
They are a LOT more serious than I thought they'd be.
It's Cause Inevitably They're Business Men eh 😌
loved seeing this side of them
This is a great interview and I don’t know why this has less than 500 views. Great work.
its 4k now & going, dont worry bud its climbing.. 😁

@ 21:48 As Joe explains, all I think about is Sal dying going "You're a grown man yelling pumpernickel in a warehouse..." 😭😭🤣
Really interesting seeing and hearing these guys speak you get bit more of there character. Murr seems very focused analytical. Sal is creative in his words. Joe is just joe fascinating improvisation and great family man. Q is very humble & reserved. I love these guys. Love from scotland
Kinda puts into perspective how Murr would say “i got a plan” the first few seasons lol
If people ever wonder murr lives in a mansion its because he literally is the brains behind the show. No wonder he gets the worst punishments lol
That’s a stretch. The group came up with the show. Murr just had perspective and connections.
@@SoundsSilver
They said in other interviews that Murr comes up with most of the ideas for challenges.
Amazing and deep interview, it really shows how are these guys are down-to-earth with no pretentious at all.
I really love how they are still just 4 friends, they’ve definitely made a name for themselves now but the chemistry and humanity is all there.
4 different guys, 4 separate personalities. Each one of them make my day better, daily! All the best guys
Just found IJ on tiktok and now Im so hooked. This show will give you the best laugh ❤
This show really helped when I was in my worst state
Congrats, fantastic interview!!
Wish we got to here a little more from Q. Really great interview.
They're all goofy regular guys having a blast it's infectious
These 4 people have made me smile when I’ve been at my lowest
This show really is something magical. It’s something that’s going to be talked about for years. I can imagine being 20-30 years down the line and people still talk about how legendary their clips are.
A lot of interviews feel rushed, both from the interviewer and interviewees. Good job not allowing it to go there.
Like most things in life, I discovered this show by accident a few days ago just flipping through the channels. Oh, my gosh--these 4 have amazing chemistry and are hilarious. They help lift me up when I was feeling down, made me laugh, and helped me to remember--"never lose your sense of humor."
I guess I’m just so used to seeing them in character all the time but they look like they are about to burst out laughing any second. Does anybody else see that or is it just me? 😂😂 PS: this is one of the best interviews of them that I’ve seen
Not At All 😆
On the Contrary 😝
Probably my favorite show ever, definitely top 3. It helps me out when I'm feeling down. I watch it every day. Seen every episode 20 times, still never gets old. It sucks that Joe left, hope he can get through all his personal struggles.
Also, great interview Josh!
I’m a huge Impractical jokers fan I been watching since season 1 episode 1 , I can’t wait to see them in Atlanta next year I’m getting the goods seats for sure
I can (and do) watch that show over and over. The great thing about them, is they are normal guys have a good time. People can relate to them very well.
This deserves way more views, fantastic interview that shows the side of these guys that most of us never get to see.
So happy for them. I freaking love those guys I literaly watch the show every day
This is my favorite interview of the jokers by far, great job!
Joe was the first to quit for the show and the first to quit from the show
This is great to see how they started. I have watched them for few years now. They got me through covid in lockdown made me laugh and forget about the world for a while
they cheer me up every single time i watch them
Best interview out there...it genuinely showcased their true nature as well. The host did a great job by not asking cheezy questions but the general one's that showcased the Joker's journey quite well.
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN! SERIOUSLY, GIVE IT A CHANCE. SAL IS PROBABLY THE MOST TALENTED, ALONG WITH JOE. YET Q IS VERY SAVY AND MURR GOT ME INTO THE SHOW IN THE FIRST PLACE. SAL CANT HOLD IT TOGETHER AND LAUGHS ALL THE TIME, THE MOST REACTIVE, AND IS THE MOST FUNNY, BUT THEY ARE ALL VERY VERY TALENTED AND FUNNY
AS A PRANK SHOW, I WOULD HAVE TO AGREE. THERE IS RARELY A SHOW THAT GUARANTEES A LAUGH EACH EPISODE. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SHOW LIKE THIS AND ONE THAT IS WRITTEN, BUT FOR A SHOW LIKE IMPRACTICAL JOKERS, IMPRACTICAL JOKERS IS THE PEAK.
BOTH OF YOU, WELL SAID!
no cap
You deserve more recognition for what you've done here.
How you gonna make such captivating content?? Damn
Love this show!!! Whenever you’re sad, watch these guys embarrass eachother 😂😂
The chemistry these guys have is unreal. Comedic gold.
Love the show. Love their friendship. Love their journey. Jokers for life.
I think its success is partly due to them showing something that is important to us as humans, something that has been lost in our present time and that something is genuine friendship.
We get to see four best friends be utterly silly and their silliness brings people together in a beautiful way. It's so nice to see how much love they have for each other.
The best show ever!! I can watch over and over and still laugh the same!!😂
Dang, your first video and its one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Congrats man.
I put you on whenever my day is just a little too much and you guys never fail to make me laugh. Keep doing you guys
My Facebook memories from 10 years ago came up the other week saying this new shows jokers is hilarious. I remember watching for the first time and my face hurting from laughing for so long. I still watch everyday lol
This was such a FANTASTIC interview!
Such a cool bunch of guys. You can tell they genuinely respect and love each other.
One of the best shows, if not the best on right now. Hilarious, real, and they all seem like genuine, friendly guys
Thankyou for such a professionally done yet hilarious interview
I’ve been having a really rough time. Honestly they have giving me a smile and a laugh when I didn’t want to. Thank you guys I really appreciate you guys so much.
joe. simply joe. 95% of the interview i was waiting for joe doing something crazy, because he had that look on his face
This aged badly
@@oak7741 i don't really get what you mean by that. yes, i am aware that joe left the jokers, i am extremly saddend by this. but he didn't HAD to leave, he didn't make a me-too mistke or anything like it. our lovely joe has had some issues in his privat life, decided to take a break or final cut and is STILL in this interview the BEST! because I am TEAM JOE.
if you dont agree, tell me why.
@@giselakrenn2646
This interview happened 8 months ago…
I watched the pilot the night it aired and I said I know this show is gonna be a hit.
Every year they continued to make it better and better.
Anytime I had a rough day I’d watching be watching UA-cam videos of IJ and instantly feel better.
Thank you Joe/Sal/Murr/Q
I can not express to you how much I love this show!
I'm so happy to finally see a longform interview involving these four! It's so nice to finally see them outside of Impractical Jokers and in a more relaxed environment. Thank you for making this!
Great interview! I loved seeing this side of the guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm obsessed with Q. It hurts
He’s catnip to women I stg
i really enjoyed this interview! it was interesting to see this side of them.
How it is possible that Josh Golden only have 576 subscribers?
This interview is gold!
this should be more viral great interview
Amazing review! I did a report on their show a month ago. Man, this video has more information than half the sources I used!
These guys are awesome. They do things that 99% of the world can’t do. Ad lib, keep a straight face, be funny, trick people, make each other (and others) look stupid, be sarcastic, and act.
And do ALL OF IT SIMULTANEOUSLY with other people talking into their earpiece. They are far funnier and more entertaining than most bs on tv the last decade.
this is gold
I love you guys so much....keep it coming.
Y'all are beyond hilarious and amazing!!!
Q saying he was a firefighter is kinda hot ngl
You cannot replace anyone of them with someone else in this team because for me it wouldn’t be the same.. they compliment each other.
I remember the first time I saw the Show!
I was at my sons house watching TV 📺 and I didn’t know how to work the TV so I was just watching whatever came on.
Your Show came on a it made me laugh so MUCH!
I have four Brothers so I am used to that Funny Male Energy!!
I Loved You guys Immediately!!! 💗👍
I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed at that time and i chance upon one of their video footage which was shared by my friend back in 2017. After that, i went to Google and search for the 1st season of the show. It was then i started to binge watch all the 4 seasons til i caught up to the latest episode and since then, i would wait for the website to upload new episodes every week.
I love how practical they are.
This show came out at the right time and era. 👏🏼
One of the best interview I've seen
God damn this was a good interview. A lot of interviews are fluff, but this was VERY interesting
love this interview so much!! i always love hearing more about their lives before/ during beginning of IJ. great job!
This is a GREAT interview Josh. I really enjoyed it as you let the Jokers be who they are and actually let them lead. I thoroughly enjoyed this 😉
Brad - Thank you! You are too kind!
@@brianquinn8778 Was this the real, one and only Mr. Brian Quinn, Q that replied to my comment 🤔 OMG 🤯 I am SO HONORED. Thank you Q for staying in touch with your're fans and being the man you are. We LOVE you and your're 3 best friends 😉
@@bradcrawford1998 you're welcome anytime and thanks for being a wonderful fan of mine🙏❣️
@@bradcrawford1998 How are you doing today?
@@brianquinn8778 So happy you liked the show, Brian. I could not be more pleased with the reception! Look at all the comments. It's just astounding the positive impact you have had. Thank you again for sitting down with me.
I love these guys! I watch them every single day on UA-cam
I have no words for how much i love these guys
What an amazing interview! I can watch it again seriously! GREAT WORK!
This is such an amazing interview with the guys! It's so awesome hear about motivation and fulfillment of goal/dreams. Good work!
Really enjoyed this video.
These guys are the best
I got hooked on the show from the scene where Q says "Hey Mustache" and the guy in a rough voice says "don't call me Mustache". I've watched a boatload of these shows and have seen many of them over and over and over.
Its one of only 2 or 3 shows I can watch again and again at any time of day
Fantastic idea for a podcast Josh, I just love impractical Jokers, but the theme of your podcast is great! Keep up the hard work 💪🏼
Thank you Morgan! I have 6 more episodes about to drop! Hope you like them.
Really liked the interview
12:20 when Murr coughs Sal’s reaction is priceless. Not as good as when Joe sneezed, but good.
What Sal said about being lucky is largely true, sort of “being at the right place at the right time,” etc. However I think it’s undeniable that it’s their unique qualities and the chemistry between them that makes this work. I strongly doubt that if you went and took any set of four friends who wanted to do something like this, and gave them the same opportunities, that it would work. My point being, that while they’ve had many lucky breaks etc. the reason it WORKS for them and probably not for some other group is their unmistakable talent, personalities and chemistry. Very few could make this work the way they have.
Wow what a great interview of them! The best I've seen
Dentist was the moment my family knew this show was gold and we became dedicated fans since
That was a very well to out interview . I absolutely loved it , thank you
High quality interview! Very high qual. I likes what I've seen. Real good stuff. Nice to see, nice to watch.
Hey that's not sal, its prince herb
So he's the artist currently known as Prince?
Just like that not Joe that's "Larry"... Lol

I feel like these four, absolutely amazing guys saved my life. Love each one of them SO much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You deserve way more subscribers, great interview!
This interview is very thorough.
These are the bestest friends ever ,what else anyone need
they're living the best life
