The Impractical Jokers group is also known as The Tenderloins. They used to be made up of four men until one decided to part ways with the show. That man happens to be Joe Gatto. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Joe explained his reasons for leaving.

He said, “Sorry in advance for the long and more-serious-than-usual note below, I just wanted to let you all know that I will no longer be involved with Impractical Jokers… [my wife] and I have decided to amicably part ways, so now I need to focus on being the best father and co-parent to our two incredible kids."

Without Joe as part of the lineup, James “Murr” Murray, Brian “Q” Quinn, and Sal Vulcano still remain. Although Joe dipped halfway through Season 9, the show has continued on. Season 10 of Impractical Jokers premiered on Jun. 16, 2022, on truTV. Fans can continue watching the three remaining men give each other outlandish dares and challenges.
The more ridiculous the challenge, the funnier each episode happens to be. Plenty of the moments on impractical jokers are considered awkward and cringe-worthy, but that’s part of what makes the show such a huge success.
New episodes of Impractical Jokers air Thursdays at 10 p.m. EST on TruTV.
