Impractical Jokers Talks Season 5 with Exclusive Sneak Peak

Some television shows exist to make a political point, while others are meant to pull at our heart strings. Some propel us toward social change, and others leave us with a cliffhanger every week. Thankfully, some shows simply exist to make us laugh, and TruTV’s Impractical Jokers does this extremely well.
The comedy troupe behind the hit show is made up of members Sal Vulcano, Brian Quinn (Q) , Joe Gatto, and James Murray (Murr). Murr took a minute to tell us about the new season and share an exclusive sneak peak of Impractical Jokers, Season 5, which begins Thursday, Feb. 11.
Paste: Now that you are in season 5, and the show has become significantly more popular, was it harder to find strangers?
Murr: It’s always easy to find strangers in New York. There’s 10 million strangers in New York. It’s harder for sure, but we’ve changed the show to kind of make up for it, you know?
We do a lot more challenges where people come into a store, so for one person that recognizes us, there are 5 people who don’t. We do less challenges like boardwalks, we do less things like that because we get recognized too much.
Paste: Here’s something you’re going to make me say because I watched your trailer: ‘crotch-watch’.
