Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About The Impractical Jokers

The Larry Mystery

In the opening credits and in many of the challenges, we hear Joe Gatto scream the name “Larry!” Who is this mysterious, unseen guy? There are two versions of the story. In the first, Larry is one of Joe’s made-up friends. Larry appears several times in Season One, and occasionally throughout the rest of the series. In one episode, Larry is a political candidate that Joe is campaigning for, and in another there’s a challenge based on a book called The Adventures of Larry. In an interview with In Touch Weekly, Joe said: “Larry’s just a fun name to yell and it’s always gotten a rise out of us through the years.” James Murray added, “one day we’ll find him. I don’t think he exists! But we’ll find him.”
