The quartet of comedians, known as The Tenderloins, are childhood friends from their days growing up together in Staten Island, New York. In the new show, fans will get to see the guys like never before as they draw back the curtain for an up close and personal glimpse at their lives while they practice social distancing and dish about their week, their friendship and whatever else is thrown on their dinner table.
"While all of us are social distancing, we wanted to find a fun way to lighten spirits and bring some laughter from our homes directly to our fans' living rooms," they said in a statement. "Although this isn't our usual format, this new show is a unique and intimate way to entertain our fans and further our relationship with those who have come to know us across eight seasons of Impractical Jokers."
