The show revolves around 4 real-life best friends who love challenging each other to the most outrageous dares and stunts ever caught on hidden camera.

A delighted James Murray, said, “Impractical Jokers is all about friendship. There's no one in the world I'd rather laugh with and get embarrassed by than my best friends of 28 years - Sal, Joey and Q. But no matter what they put me through, I would not have it any other way - they are my dearest friends. Our fans worldwide have become our friends as well. It makes me so happy to know that we have so many viewers in India. For me, there’s no better way than friendship’s day to connect with my new Indian friends and get to know them better. I cannot wait to visit India this Fall for my first time to celebrate Impractical Jokers and the Indian release of my book AWAKENED. Huge thanks to Comedy Central for making this Facebook Live happen!”
