Career

The quartet were also not close friends; they, however, ran in the same circles and joined the same improv comedy group in junior year. After finishing high school, all four men headed to different parts of the country for college. They later returned to New York where they ran into each other and subsequently decided to set up a comedy troupe. They spent the first six months practicing in the basement of a house that belonged to one of them. They later began performing publicly and uploaded their sketches to YouTube.

For nearly a decade, Quinn and his three buddies found it difficult making much head way. The four pals later came up with the novel idea of a hidden-camera show where they prank themselves rather than members of the public. Known as Impractical Jokers, the show basically features the four buddies daring each other to do something embarrassing. If one refuses, or cannot complete his task, he is subjected to an even more embarrassing punishment. Impractical Jokers debuted on truTV in 2011 and has grown to become one of the highest-rated comedy shows in the U.S. Quinn and his pals have also embarked on several lucrative tours, selling out legendary venues such as the O2 Arena and the Madison Square Garden.
