Hey, it's Murr from Impractical Jokers. ASK ME ANYTHING, beeches!

Hey Murray, you know what challenge you guys should do?

"Sing a duet with a stranger"

I would SO love to see you try to creepily convince an old woman to sing "Total Eclipse of The Heart" with you and for her to tell you to F*ck off...

It would make for great TV.

oh that would be brilliant

This user just asked me this. See my response below:

"[–]GRANDMA_ANAL_FISSURE 1 point 50 seconds ago Hi Murr, my boyfriend and I love watching Impractical Jokers and it provides us with a ton of laughs. I always tell him that I am in love with you and just think you are absolutely adorable and would totally tap that. I just texted him at work and told him that you were doing an AMA and he told me to ask you if you thought you looked like a ferret. (I think he is jealous)"

Murr: Dump your boyfriend right now, I dare you. Then let's "tap."

What happens when someone recognizes you while you're in the middle of filming?

we thank them and shush them on their way

Has Joe ever accidentally ran into a "Larry" while freaking out looking for him?

never!

How close do you think you all are to your show personas? Q has mentioned he doesn't think he comes off as how he really is, which I was surprised by since you all seem very natural in the show.

I think we're fairly close. Q is an asshole in real life, so his persona is dead on :-) I think my persona is probably a little different - I tend to play the victim a lot. In real life, I'm an adorable bully

[deleted]

We keep that shit. Pimpin' ain't easy.

Is this show 100% real? I feel like sometimes it is fake. I really love this show though. Wish it was an hour long!

100% real. Come to set and we'll prove it!

How scared were you really in the airplane?

full blown tears. I was crydiving

Will you tell my girlfriend Haley "Hi" and something nice because you're her favorite? I'm a little jealous.

Haley, I love you so much more than your boyfriend does.

Hi James thanks doing this Will you guys ever show how people react after they learn they are on the show.

we show it in the specials episodes. we'll pepper in some every now and then

So what embarrassing act do I have to do to get tickets to one of the tour shows? Seriously, I am at work and will do it :P

Tweet me a pic of your belly ON your boss' keyboard. My twitter is @jamessmurray

What's the most surprising thing you've learned about people/humanity from doing the show?

I'm continually amazed by how LITTLE people react to things. I thought we would get punched far more than we do. As it is, the only ones who punch me are the guys. Please humanity, punch me more.

My brother introduced me to Impractical Jokers and I've been hooked ever since! :D Out of the four of you, which is the funnest to mess with? And were the cops really called when Joe was creeping on the people at the beach (the part shown in the "Bonus Footage" episode)?

sal is the easiest to screw with. what an adorable jerk!

How do you keep your body in such good shape?

Richard Simmons workout VHS tape

Hey Murr, I just wanted to say you are all hilarious and thanks for what you do.

What was the most ridiculous thing that wasn't allowed to air? Also, do you need chubby Massachusetts guy for the show?

a challenge called GET IN THE VAN

Hi, thanks for doing an AMA, I love your show. What is your favorite "Big Loser" prank that you've ever done on one of the guys or had done on yourself?

Strip high five!

Working from home because of the snow, so I can actually participate!

What is a good first date plan?

3rd base

Do many women like the ferret look? :p

Also who would win in a fight Sal, Joe or Q?

My money is on Q in a fight. But don't underestimate Joe's belly. A belly in motion tends to stay in motion

Love this show! Only thing ill watch that comes from truTV.

Question: when you are filming, do you guys just film a bunch of pranks, then decide which goes on which episode? Or do you start out with a set episode plan?

film the pranks, then decide the order. the show is plug and play

Yo Murr, do you think this show has a certain "shelf-life" because of your guys' rising popularity- like more and more people will eventually recognize you all? What is the plan for future seasons?

PS you were awesome in akron!

Giant bushy mustaches

Hey Murr! Love the show and saw Tenderloins live a few weeks ago in NYC. Did you ever think you would get paid to hang out and have fun with your friends?

I thought I'd only be paid for love. Never thought I'd get paid for this.

Hey asshole! Whats your favorite sandwich?

Hey jerkface. Roast beef.

If I bring a bottle of rum to one of the live shows, will you guys take a shot with me at the meet and greet? You can keep the rest of the bottle.

sure!

How many times do you guys try to win a challenge before the other guys decide that you lose?

secret of the show - we win and lose every challenge in the field, and edit the show in the funniest way possible

Where you really as shocked as you looked when you saw Joe's brother-in-law walking over to you to take a few swings during the Human Piñata punishment?

completely shocked. he's a big dude

Is that your real hair?

No, it's a weave

First time on Reddit. Will you come to my house and personally show me how this site works?

on my way

How many times a day do you use technology on the toilet?

I'm using it right now.

Thank you for doing the AMA, love you guys and your work. I have a serious question though.

On one episode where you guys were getting people to hold your seats outside with crazy reasons. In one portion Q was attempting to get his seat held so he could meet his "CD guy" and when given his instructions you guys used "air quotes" and Q used them too when speaking to the mark. This seemed to me like he knew what he was supposed to say beforehand, otherwise how would he know that he had to do "air quotes"?

Thanks again for the AMA!

we told him to use air quotes when he delivered the line, and cut that instruction out of the edit

Is there person you have ever geeked out over meeting? Loved y'all in Houston!

totally spazzed out meeting my dream girl, Rosario Dawson, two months ago. Please, reddit...can you help me score a lunch date with her? I'm buying. Lunch.

Murr!!! Love you guys and your show!!!

I saw that you guys recently filmed in Texas and i can't wait to see what those episodes end up like. Do you any plans to film in any other cities at all?

YES! Hoping to film an ep in Alabama or somewhere therabouts

Hey ol' Murr!! Love the show, and loved The Tenderloins show when you were in NYC! Are you really fluent in several languages?

17 and counting

If you could be invisible for one whole day, what would you do and why? PS I love you :D

Every ladies locker room in the tri-state area

Hey Murr! Love the show. I sometimes challenge myself to NOT laugh during an episode and I fail miserably every time. Are there production assistants blocking off all exits for people involved in the pranks to sign the releases? Also, how did all of this get started? Did you guys approach a network with the idea or did a network approach your troupe?

our PA's chase people down when they walk out of our playing zone

Murr! When are you gonna send me them nudes (drawings)? We spoke right after that episode aired - I tweeted you and everything... No response/@reply :"(

Edit: For the record, fiance and I are huge fans of the show and just bought a house/walls are barren, so.. Y'know...

I'm drawing my nude body right now to send to you. The undercarriage is surprisingly hard to sketch accurately.

Hey Murr, I was just wondering if you've come to accept the fact that Joe has masturbated in your bedroom?

Also, on Sal and Q's What Say You pod they talked about how a lady after one of your shows gave each of you an envelope with $50 in it. They said they gave your envelope to your opening act and never told you about it. So, did you ever get your $50 back!?

Hope to catch one of your shows in Chicago!

what the hell??!

How was it meeting Conan? Do you regret bringing the sunglasses prop?

it was awesome. nah, loved the sunglasses!

Have you met the people from the UK version of tv show?

yep, nice folks

Just putting it out there, ferrets are my favorite animal. Moving on:

1. Why are you the best joker?

2. Which challenge was your favorite?

3. When is your next NYC show?

I'm fangirling right now, you guys are great. It's an unspoken tradition in my family that when your show is on, everyone shuts up, sits down and watches.

Long Island, Westbury in a few weeks!

If you could be on Fear Factor with one of the other guys, who would you pick?

ANYONE BUT SAL

I love your show. It makes me laugh every week. I don't have a question, just wanted to say thank you.

thanks!

Hey Murr, Will yall ever be in the Charlotte NC area? I would love to come see you, also...do you have a girlfriend, you are so handsome!!!

YES! On april 25: http://fillmorecharlottenc.com/event/0E004C3BAA2CC93A

Hey Murr! Thanks for doing this. I love the show and look forward to it every week!

Was making a show always a plan or did it come up as an idea?

Thanks Murr.

it';s our third tv show (we produced pilots for 2 other networks before selling jokers to trutv). So TV was always the plan...just took us longer than we expected!

Who do you think you're closer too? Like out of the guys? By the way I love your show!!(:

i live physically closest to joe :-)

Hi Murr! Why did you decide to go ahead with the skydiving punishment? What did you think that would happen if you said no? Answer this question seriously please! I want to understand why you did it, because I would have been reeeally mad at my friends for doing that to me and there´s no way I would have jumped. I would have said "fuck you and that stupid pact" without feeling guilty at all.

whats not on TV is my full blown breakdown for a half hour before I got on the plane. i locked myself in the bathroom and sent goodbye txts. no joke

Do you wax your eyebrows?

gatto got me into it!

Holy shit, first comment.

What's your favourite punishment one of the other jokers had to do? What did you think was the most humiliating punishment that you had to do(Nude modelling?)

Also, what was the worst instance of someone reacting poorly to your guys tom foolery?

Edit: By the time I posted, I was no longer first comment, damn.

We crashed a wedding, and forced Sal to give the best man speech. Coming up later this season!

How do you feel doing the challenges that require you to hit on woman. Haha do you have more confidence in yourself this way?

i get super flustered and nervous around cute girls

Have you ever made anyone cry during one of your pranks? (Including Sal.)

only myself

what would you be doing if you weren't famous? greetings from mexico

hola amigo! donde esta la biblioteca? En mi pantallones? No....

Hey Murr,

I've got a couple quick questions for you:

• How much creative input do you and the other jokers have when it comes to what makes the cut for the show?

• You guys mentioned in a more recent episode of Impractical Jokers that you guys had the police called on you a few times. How often does that happen, and how often do people respond really poorly to your jokes before, or even after, finding out that they are being filmed for television?

• What would you say are one or two of the worst things you've had to do for the show?

Finally, I just wanted to say thank you for doing this AMA. Me and my girlfriend saw you guys in Pittsburgh when you were on tour as the Tenderloins, and we're both huge fans of the show.

we have far more creative control than most shows. joe oversees all the editing of the show

This is exciting! Hi, so, how much did you want to punch the others when you had to skydive?

want to? i DID punch them!

Edit: Link

Hi! Who do you think gets the worse punishments?

ME.

How did you guys pitch your idea for the show? Did you approach networks or did they find out about you somehow and approach you?

When did you guys start pranking each other?

What are some of the funniest things that you all did years before the show?

my day job is I'm a tv producer for a reality tv company: http://www.northsouth.tv/team/ So, we shot a sales tape and pitched it to truTV through my job

Murr-

My auto correct wants to change your name to Mutt...

Any comment?

Edit: Removed worthless second question.

Mutt is fairly accurate

Do you date black girls ???

you know it

Can you reply to my comment so I can tell my friends I talked to you? thanks for doing the AMA, man!

Boom.

Can we be friends ?

HELL YES!

Love the show! Quick question. Have you ever been punched while doing a skit? I mean some of the things you guys get away with is amazing!

only by my ego

Your show puts such a smile on my face. I hope you plan on living on the airwaves for many future moons to come! QUESTION: When are you coming to Vegas?

VEGAS IN OCTOBER! We're ending a 3 week road tour there

Did you get a date from the girl you taught music lessons to? She really seemed flattered and interested when you used those pickup lines on her!

she was cute! i woulda enjoyed that

My favorite show on television!

I'll need a show in Virginia. Preferably Hampton Roads area.

Also, can we get some extra clips of what happens after you tell people you're doing all of this mess for a show?

my sister lives in hampton roads! yes, we'll make it to VA

Why is it that you guys do not look the same age at all? For example, Joe looks a lot older than Sal does.

middle age is a bitch

Hey Murr, huge fan here! What did you have to do to for you guys to make it as comedians and in television? As an aspiring entertainer and musician, I'm curious to know.

we worked our asses off for 12 years before getting a tv show. we performed live for many years and did tons of sketch comedy. took us a while to find the right format for our comedy. thank God it worked!

I want to thank you for the many almost deaths from laughing so hard, I can't control it!

You're not only the best looking guy on the show you're the funniest! My favorite has to be your quick snaps to look at people!

No question, just keep making hilarious shows!

compliments will get you everywhere!

Will you guys ever have any more celebrity guest stars? I was crying laughing when Rosie went on as Q. You guys bring me to tears every time I watch the show.

Joey Fatone in like a week or two. he was awesome

What is your favorite challenge from the show?

strip high five!

Interested in skipping town and becoming a lumberjack with me?

I've been waiting so long for you to ask.

DUDE, I love you guys. The show puts in me tears every time I watch it. I do have a question though, how much of the show is 100% real? Ever since seeing the clip from the episode of South Beach Tow where Bernice gets hit by a car off the side of the parking garage I have been questioning how legitimate TruTV is.

Edit: Come to Philly!!

100% real. Come to set and we'll prove it to you!

Hey Murr.. I would like you more if you didnt look like a feral weasel with lupus.

But seriously.. whats with your face?

And,

What is the one line that sticks in your head as the worst thing you could've said to someone?

I've been wondering the same thing all my life. Medical science hasn't been able to cure my weasel lupus.
