Promo picture of the troupe.
Status: Partially Lost
Before being known as the Impractical Jokers, James "Murr" Murray, Sal Vulcano, Joe Gatto, and Brian "Q" Quinn, had an internet sketch comedy/improv group called The Tenderloins. The Tenderloins was founded in 1999 by Murray, Vulcano, Gatto, and their original fourth member Mike Boccio. As a group, they performed live sketch comedy across America before branching out to scripted sketch comedy on early internet social media sites. In 2001, Gideon Horowitz joined the group, and the five of them continued to perform until 2007, when Boccio and Horowitz left the group, and Brian Quinn joined.
In 2011, the group pitched a pilot, called Mission Uncomfortable, to TruTV, and it was picked up under the name Impractical Jokers. The show's popularity quickly overtook that of the Tenderloin's other projects, and after being renewed for a new season in 2012, the troupe stopped posting sketches to their YouTube channel, instead focusing on filming their show.
Availability
The Tenderloins started posting their sketch comedy, along with clips of their live improv shows on their personal website, thetenderloins.com[1], sometime in 1999, although the earliest archive of their website is in October of 2000. Sometime around 2005, they branched out to using MySpace[2] and in 2006, Youtube[3], hosting their videos across a few different channels and accounts, but mostly sticking to the accounts: thetenderloinsnyc on MySpace, and thetenderloins on YouTube.
Between 2020 and 2021, all non-Impractical Jokers-related videos were either deleted or set to private on the Tenderloins channel, with only a handful of archives being saved by a few YouTube users.[4]
