Quotes from Joe Gatto

I've ruined many Thanksgivings!

We do a lot of work to try to make sure people who we are using as people in the show don't know who we are, because that ruins it.

The first thing we ever filmed was, we had to eat off people's plates, like we just walked over and took something. We thought we would get punched.

Sal and I were in the mall just shopping, and we're walking through this retail store and little old lady goes 'NO! You're not gonna get at me.' We were just shopping. She was looking for cameras, she was like 'I know who you are, you crazies!' and she walked away from us.

We like to produce other shows that don't have us in it, that's a big thing.

A broad idea appeals to everyone.

We look around every day on set and pinch ourselves that we're at work.

Yeah, it's just, when you meet people, especially creative, it needs to be chemistry. And I believe we have that really well with Henchy.

I love my 'Boom Clap.' Charli XCX is a big one for me.

We thought why don't we just make ourselves the marks of the show. Have our three friends turn the screws on each of us and let the collateral embarrassment be the source of the comedy.

All cheaters shop for Swedish discount furniture.

Shoes and watches are my weaknesses.

We sit in a room, laugh, and all come up with comedy situations, which we work out. Sometimes we cross the line, like getting a guy to pull out of his own wedding while the ceremony's taking place.

We have to always think of different ways to make the show fresh for us, so that we're still having fun. That's always a challenge and we welcome it every season.

Well 'Impractical Jokers' isn't really a prank show, because the joke is on us. We make ourselves look like idiots in front of the public. So the public is mostly confused about what is happening.

The thing that we like about our show is that it's our take on a kind of format. It's a hidden camera comedy show where we don't even call it a 'prank show' because we're made to fool each other and our friends.

We're barely a prank show, in my opinion. We don't consider it that, we don't call our stuff pranks. The challenges that we do are more social experiments that put each other in awkward situations.

With the show itself, we try to think of new and different ways to make each other laugh, while enjoying what we're doing.

We knew we had a big fan base over there in the U.K. and we were excited to get over there.

I would always drink iced teas and lemonades and sodas while filming. Now it's only water and coffee.

I didn't realize puppy mills were a problem until my wife, Bessy, and I got our first dog, Cannoli. Cannoli came from a puppy mill and she came with many health issues. It was after we got her that we researched and educated ourselves about the conditions dogs face in puppy mills.

We didn't like to do the traditional prank show where we felt bad for people having jokes pulled on them.

Playing with my daughter, I sat down because I couldn't chase her anymore and she said, 'Please, Daddy. I love playing with you' and I couldn't catch my breath. I just couldn't. I was heaving, trying to catch my breath and looking at my adorable little girl with her puppy dog eyes pleading with her father to play.

I feel amazing. This is all the result of just changing my eating habits.
