-You know our next guests from their massively popular show
"Impractical Jokers," which just kicked off its ninth season.
New episodes air Thursday nights on truTV.
Let's take a look.
-This is my dog Frank here.
-Oh.
-My dog [bleep] your dog.
[ Laughter ]
So, this is the report.
-Is that what you're telling me? -Yeah.
You know, it talks you through the whole thing there.
-We have fake incident reports with diagrams,
and we marked where the places were affected.
-On Wednesday, the staff member, Joe,
witnessed Frank laying metaphorical pipe on Brooklyn.
This is -- -You're a big dude, man.
-Yeah, he's a big dude. He is a big dude.
[ Laughter ]
-Hi! Come on! Come on, Brooklyn. There you go.
-Hey! -There you go.
-Hi, little one! -[ Laughing ] Look at the dog.
[ Laughter ]
-Please welcome back to the show Joe Gatto, James Murray,
Brian Quinn, and Prince Herb!
How are you, gentlemen?
-Hey! -Hey, Seth!
-How you doing, bud? -Hi, Seth. How are you?
-I have a lot of questions about the clip we just saw,
but I do -- Last time you were here,
there was not a Prince Herb.
This is a new moniker.
Can you explain how that came about?
-What's up, Seth? It's so nice to see you, buddy.
Yeah, this -- I got punished this season,
and they're changing my identity.
And it's going to permeate into my real life
for the rest of this year.
So, basically, I don't know if you know this.
Herb, where we're from, means, like, a corn ball.
So, basically, they made me pierced --
They made me -- [ Laughter ]
-Show him the bling! Show him the bling!
-They pierced my ears.
I have to keep these in for 6 to 12 months right now.
They're changing the credits of the show.
Any press I do, any late night --
When I go up onstage to do stand-up,
I get called up as Prince Herb right now.
-[ Laughs ] -This is my new identity.
-You're royalty, buddy! You should be honored.
-That was very nice of them to put a Prince in there.
-Yeah. -You could have just been Herb.
So, I mean, I was looking at these and laughing so loud.
So, you had --
I mean, this bit of the dog groomers is just fantastic.
How did you come up with it, and what were people's reaction?
That guy was pretty affable
about the fact you said your dog had sex with his.
Were all the reactions that nice?
-No, not really. We were in Brooklyn,
so you got a good range of people that came in.
But the guys, quite simply, was like --
I was very proud of them,
because it was a very smart and easy punishment.
Sometimes they're just very simple, and simple's the best.
I worked at a doggy daycare,
when people came to pick up their dog.
They planted this English Mastiff named Frank there,
this huge dog. And I just had to very simply say,
"Uh, one more thing before you go.
My dog [bleep] your dog,"
and slide over an incident report
that they had made these graphics of,
like, that outlined exactly what happened
and take people through it.
-I mean, the incident reports are -- I mean, just --
So, this one, you know, pretty basic.
That lets you know what happened.
-Yeah, that's just the basic. [ Laughter ]
-But this, you guys, I mean, I don't think --
-That's it. [ Laughter ]
-Some poor person had to come and look at that?
-Yeah. Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-That was great, because you would watch people
go through a range of emotions, right?
Some would be angry. Some would be confused.
Some would be just outright baffled.
But at the end of the day, I mean, dogs will be dogs.
Like, it's not Joe's fault, you know?
-Hey, it's nature. You can't be mad at me, you know?
[ Laughter ] -Now, I am shocked
that you guys can still pull one over on each other.
But this did happen with Paul McCartney.
-Oh, yes. -Explain the prank,
and tell me exactly how surprised you were
that it worked.
-Yes, well, we have this show, Seth, called "Dinner Party,"
and we have guests on. We've had lots of great guests.
And we heard that Paul, Sir Paul,
was a fan of "Impractical Jokers,"
so I reached out to him
and asked if he would come on "Dinner Party,"
and he sent a little video in
saying hi to us and stuff like that.
It was one of the most amazing moments in our lives.
Unfortunately, it wasn't really Paul McCartney.
[ Laughter ]
I hired the worst Paul McCartney impersonator to come in,
and some of these guys -- I don't want to say who, Seth --
but they bought it hook, line, and sinker.
-Alright. So, now, for our viewers at home,
we're going to show this clip. And be honest with yourselves.
Would you think this is Paul McCartney?
Let's take a look.
-Hello, "Impractical Jokers."
-Oh, my God.
-I just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of your program.
-[ Laughs ]
-And I'm here to confirm
that Q is indeed my favorite joker.
-Is that real?
-Murr reminds me of Ringo... -I --
-...in all the best ways.
I just feel that Q is the Paul of the group.
[ Laughter ]
-Wait.
-I mean, when you see it now --
-I need to defend myself, Seth.
-No, you don't.
-Okay, I've seen this man my whole life.
I've seen him in concert a few years ago.
I know all about him.
I'm a huge fan. Here's the thing.
I did not want to --
I suspended disbelief. I didn't want to --
In my head, I'm like, "This man is falling on hard times.
He's had multiple strokes recently.
He's put on the pounds."
But I was like, "If this is really him,
I cannot insult him."
So, I just bought into the fact that it was him,
but it's not fair of you all to mock me.
-Yeah, it is!
-No. -I'll tell you what, Seth,
if there's a 1% chance that that was actually Paul McCartney,
we had to 100% say that that was Paul McCartney.
-Yeah. -We had to.
-We had no other choice. -Also, in the, like, long life
of things you guys have done that's embarrassing,
it's not like anybody's going to remember
you thought that was Paul McCartney.
I think you're in the clear. -You're right.
[ Laughter ]
-Hey, Murr, I have a question. First of all, congratulations.
You just got married.
-Boom! Yes. Thank you, sir.
-And I have a genuine question.
Like, obviously, your wife knows
the world that she's marrying into.
Does she live in dread
that you will become victim of one of these --
of the imagination of your three friends?
-No, sir. They use her against me.
My wife has a degree in nursing.
So, a few weeks ago, I came home,
and the guys had a urologist there.
And they put a catheter in me,
and then they had my nurse wife take it out of me
after they made me ride a zip line holding my own catheter.
So she's loving it. [ Laughter ]
-We're actually using a lot of Murray's holes
for punishments here, because we also made him
the national spokesperson for My Shiney Hiney,
which is a real product.
-Yeah, this is a real product, a real billboard.
"Kiss dark, cavernous butt holes goodbye."
That is -- [ Laughter ]
-That stands in New Jersey right now, right now.
[ Laughter ]
-I'm the face of anal bleaching.
-Not just the face, it should be noted --
-We have the best job in the world.
-The happy face of --
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-Hey, I want to ask you guys a last question,
'cause we're running a little out of time.
You had a -- In February, which, it should be noted, obviously,
was right before the whole world went to hell in a handbasket,
you had two things happen that then stopped happening.
You had a movie premiere,
and you also had an "Impractical Jokers" cruise.
-Yeah, we're single-handedly responsible
for about 100,000 cases of COVID.
We just super-spread. [ Laughter ]
We super-spread. That's what we do.
-That's what we do. Yeah.
-We have single-handedly --
We have single-handedly ended both cruises and cinema.
[ Laughter ]
Speaking of, Seth, this is our third time on.
Do you want my address for the third mug, or --
-Where do we get that?
-We are going to give you a third mug.
You know, obviously, one mug for the group.
-Alright.
-Hey, gentlemen, I want to end by saying congratulations
both on Season 9 and on Season 10.
You guys got picked up.
I mean, it is the hardest thing in the world this year
to do shows for 10 seasons. You guys deserve it.
It's very clear you love what you do, because otherwise,
what on earth would you be doing it for?
[ Laughter ]
-Very true. Very true, Seth.
Thanks. Yeah, we're excited. It's been a great ride.
And, you know, people seem to enjoy it,
so we're just going to keep doing it
till they, you know, bury me.
-Well, congratulations, guys. [ Laughter ]
Always a pleasure. Come back soon.
It's great talking to you.
-Thank you, Seth. -Thank you, Seth.
