The Tenderloins are a NY-based comedy troupe, whose four members, Joe Gatto, James Murray, Brian Quinn & Sal Vulcano, are the creators, executive producers, & stars of truTV’s hit series, Impractical Jokers. Now in its 6th season, Impractical Jokers follows The Tenderloins as they coerce one another into doing public pranks while being filmed by hidden cameras. Natives of Staten Island, NY, Sal, Joe, “Murr" & “Q" met in high school & later formed The Tenderloins Comedy Troupe in 1999. After years of performing live improv & sketch comedy, the group found huge success on the web & eventually found a television home on truTV with Impractical Jokers where it remains a top-rated cable series.
The Tenderloins are the creators, executive producers, writers and stars of truTV’s hit show, "Impractical Jokers," now in its third season. They are currently touring nationwide with “truTV Presents The Impractical Jokers Tour Featuring The Tenderloins,” a mix of stand-up, never-before-seen hidden camera videos, stories and insight into the making of Impractical Jokers. Season 3 of "Impractical Jokers" began on January 2, 2014, with 31 brand new episodes. In addition, the guys are starring in a new series for truTV, titled "Jokers After Party." The comedy variety show premiered in the Fall of 2014.
Natives of Staten Island, New York – Sal Vulcano, Joe Gatto, James Murray and Brian Quinn met while attending high school, and they later formed The Tenderloins Comedy Troupe in 1999.
After years of performing live improv and sketch comedy shows in theatres, clubs and festivals across the country, The Tenderloins crossed over to the web, garnering millions of views for their Internet sketches. At the height of MySpace’s popularity, The Tenderloins were ranked No. 1 out of over 120,000 comedian accounts.
They went on to win the $100,000 grand prize of NBC’s “It’s Your Show,” a sketch comedy competition show, hosted by Carson Daly. A single-camera, scripted sitcom pilot with Spike TV followed, based on the guys’ real lives.
They have also had pilots with A&E, TBS, CMT and VH1, as well as their own independently produced sitcom pilot, which was an official New York Television Festival selection.
In April 2012 they also started The Tenderloins’ Podcast which is released bi-weekly and can be found on iTunes or via their website.
