July 21, 2016 Barb Oates 1

When it comes to dishing out loser punishments on Impractical Jokers, my heart often goes out to Murr (James Murray). The guy definitely gets the worst punishments out of the group — from that ferret tattoo to getting his eyebrows shaved off to being forced to skydive when he’s petrified of heights — but the one that really, really was crushing was when Sal, Q and Joe arranged the appearance of Danica McKellar on Impractical Jokers. Murr was oiled up and in a speedo thinking he was in a body building competition but instead he was introduced to a very confused […]
