[@roxtar38]

Everyone saying "no Joe, no show" is typical internet bs. Joe was freaking hilarious, and he will be missed for sure. It'll be fine, and the dude needed to focus on his family and personal stuff. He did the right thing for him I presume.

i'm honestly surprised that Jack Black isn't one of the celebrity guests.

[@FlyingSaucerEyez]

I would think Bruce Campbell might be a better choice. As much as i love Jack Black i wouldnt imagine his fame might make it difficult for a candid prank. Same With Melissa Mcarthy. I havent seen any of the new season so maybe it would work i dont know. Any one of those people they mentioned would be cool.

@@NET-26 agree, I think they are just finding there footing. I hope they just go back to doing their regular thing and I think they will.

[@havannasunn4762]

I don’t think they are funny in their celebrity cameos OR in their bits. The bits are mean, poorly thought out and just not funny. Not sure who the writers are now but there is such a huge difference between this season and shows prior. I don’t think the Jokers will make it through.

[@havannasunn4762]

I’m sad too. They always have had such creative writers that focused on the playful aspects of the bits and were almost never cruel. It always impressed me that they were able to present challenging humor in mostly a kind way and it was hilarious. Humor without cruelty, I guess it is truly a lost art.

[@arcadenate]

@@havannasunn4762What "writers"?? they come up with their own stuff. It's improv, the only thing thats written is the ideas themselves

"James “Murr” Murray, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano of “Impractical Jokers” sit down" - Maybe the site should review and proofread their post here?

[@OLegendStudios]

Sad situation. All these guys are wonderful. If any one of these guys were missing, it wouldn't be the same either. When Q or anyone answers about Joe, it feels like it hiys a slight sore spot. These guys shouldnt feel they arent good because he made the show even though Joe is hilarious. The backlash is misleading towards the talent these guys are too. I hope this backlash doesn't make the guys bitter in their friendship.

[@rumpelstiltskin6965]

True that! 👍

I honestly believe that Joe left the show for completely different reasons than what they are saying. Joe is funny but I also see a very creative guy that is set in his ways and hard to work with. I think he left because he was too controlling when it comes to the show's content.
