Why You Don't See Joe Gatto On Impractical Jokers Anymore

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

According to TV Guide, this is not the first time Joe Gatto chose to part ways with his friends and fellow comedians in his comedy troupe, The Tenderloins. But in that previous instance, Gatto was convinced to return. Per The Famous People, The Tenderloins first made their name on early social media and streaming platforms like MySpace and Youtube, before hitting it big on truTV with their own show. By 2015, they'd taken the act on the road with live performances. "Impractical Jokers: The Movie" also came out in 2020 (via IMDb).

Comedy wasn't the only priority in Joe Gatto's life, though. He's also a husband and father to two children, per TV Guide. It's these pressures of family life that pushed Gatto to chose family over show business, and this time, it might be permanent. But before announcing the reason he chose to exit, Gatto said he stands by what he and his friends have accomplished. "Alongside my friends, I've devoted a decade of my life to building this franchise and couldn't be prouder," Gatto said (via Variety).
