About this episode

Before his time on TruTV’s 'Impractical Jokers,' Sal Vulcano details his time as a teenager delivering pizzas on Staten Island, a time that included, spitting on pizzas, naked women, and car crashes. He then naturally pivoted to being an ordained minister and stand-up comedian. Sal also breaks down the early days of his improv group, The Tenderloins, and their unlikely rise to almost 300 episodes on TruTV as the 'Impractical Jokers.' A rapper believed to be gay is now being exposed for being…straight? Only @Rod4Short can explain. He also chimes in on a former TLC star who is taking the saying of putting her “blood, sweat, and tears” into her work literally — at least the “sweat” part. The new season of TruTV’s ‘Impractical Jokers’ premieres on June 16th! This is not a Paramount network show and the only reason that Roy is putting this in the description is that Sal actually IS a good friend. LOL!!! Wanna meet the team or be on the Job Fair?
