TBS Orders Season 13 of Impractical Jokers; HBO's Josh Johnson Comedy Special

Driven by franchise-high ratings, TBS has ordered a thirteenth season of its hit unscripted comedy series, Impractical Jokers. Since its January 15 premiere, Impractical Jokers is averaging an astonishing 1.72 L3 rating among Adults 25-54, an increase of 292% over the previous season. The series is on track to deliver its highest rated season ever in its 15-year history and currently ranks as the #1 original series on cable this year in key adult demos. This season's momentum extends to the Impractical Jokers' social media show channels, with the franchise delivering 2.9 million interactions and generating 65.3 million video views year to date.

Led by comedians Brian "Q" Quinn, James "Murr" Murray and Sal Vulcano, Impractical Jokers follows the lifelong friends as they compete in a series of outrageous hidden-camera challenges designed to embarrass each other in public. At the end of every episode, the challenge's loser must endure a punishment of epic proportions.

The final episode of Impractical Jokers season 12 airs tonight - Friday, March 20 following NCAA coverage on TBS. The series, which first premiered on December 15, 2011, is produced by NorthSouth Productions.
