There was a time when comedy fans thought Impractical Jokers would go on forever. However, that may not be the case anymore. The series had been at the top of the comedy game for more than a decade -- but then Joe Gatto announced his departure on Dec. 31, 2021. He wanted to focus on his family, so no one could fault him for the decision. But Gatto's exit destroyed the truTV series' successful formula: The remaining Season 9 episodes without Joe Gatto were a total failure.
