Two of the hosts of Impractical Jokers have been married, with the only co-host currently married being James Murray, after Joe Gatto’s recent divorce.
Impractical Jokers is currently one of the most popular and long-running skit and prank candid, camera comedy shows. As such, many are interested in the personal lives of the co-hosts of the show.
While there is not much known about the status of the eligible co-hosts, many fans know the wives of the co-hosts that are married.
Technically, only James Murray is married from the crew at the moment. Joe Gatto recently announced that he and his wife have decided to divorce amicably.
What is Impractical Jokers?
Regarded as one of truTV’s flagship shows, Impractical Jokers first premiered on the channel in 2011, quickly becoming one of the channel’s most popular shows. The show was created by its executive producers and co-hosts.
The premise of the show is, “Comedians Joe Gatto, James ‘Murr’ Murray, Brian ‘Q’ Quinn, and Sal Vulcano are real-life best friends who love challenging each other to the most outrageous dares and stunts ever caught on hidden camera.”
However, the configuration of the show is changing with the upcoming season, as Joe Gatto announced his indefinite hiatus in December 2021.
Are the Impractical Jokers hosts married?
Technically, only one of the Impractical Jokers’ co-hosts is currently married, because Joe Gatto left the show indefinitely, and recently got a divorce from his wife, Bessy.
Moreover, if Gatto was still on the show, he would be the one with the longest marriage since he and his former wife were married for eight years.
James Murray is now the only Impractical Jokers co-host that is married. Murr proposed to his wife, Melyssa Davies, in 2019.
The couple got married in September 2020, although Murr has technically been married before, and his current marriage his second.
Who is James Murray’s first wife?
James Murray’s marriage to Melyssa Davies is technically his second marriage. The first marriage was done as part of an episode of Impractical Jokers. Murr lost the overall episode challenge and had to face a punishment.
The punishment was for him to marry Sal Vulcano’s sister, Jenna, and since no one can reject or avoid a punishment, he married her.
But the two annulled their marriage that same year in 2014 . As such, Murr’s marriage to Jenna is not regarded as a “real marriage.”
Who is Brian Quinn dating?
For the Impractical Jokers hosts that are not married, most of the news of their relationship statuses is shrouded in mystery. Specifically looking at Q, throughout the years there have been speculations that were never confirmed.
First, it was rumoured that Q was in a relationship with the show’s first prominent makeup artist, Emily Amick, but the matter was never confirmed. Thereafter, it was believed that he was in a relationship with Leah Remini’s half-sister, Elizabeth Remini.
It seemed the relationship was confirmed by the co-host as he suggested at one point during the show, that his first girlfriend got arrested and her sister was an A-list Hollywood star.
Who is Sal Vulcano dating?
Possibly the co-host with the most intrigue and mystery surrounding his relationship status is Sal Vulcano. This is as Sal has never been publicly, romantically linked to anyone.
But it is possibly an attempt to be sensitive to the co-host. This is as Sal came out in 2014 as gay. However, when he was asked about the matter, he stated that he was not gay and that he only said that to support James Murray who was gay.
As we now know, Murr is not gay. Regarding Sal’s current orientation and relationship status, not much is known or speculated.
Final thoughts
Impractical Jokers consists of some of the most recognisable faces in the comedy industry. However, their relationship statuses have been widely hidden from the public, even more so those of the co-hosts that are not married and possibly dating.
However, two of the co-hosts are or have been married. First it was Joe Gatto, who got married in 2013 and later got divorced from his wife, Bessy, in 2021.
Secondly, James Murray has technically been married twice, but the first was annulled due to it being a prank that was part of the show. In September 2020, he got married to Melyssa Davies.
