[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Impractical Jokers Season 11, Episode 1.]
Impractical Jokers is back on a new network as Season 11 debuted on truTV‘s sister channel TBS, and with the latest episode came one very special punishment for honorary Joker and former NSYNC singer, Joey Fatone.
Participating alongside Sal Vulcano, Brian “Q” Quinn, and James “Murr” Murray, Fatone took part in every challenge but was ultimately the night’s big loser. While his loss was surprising, his punishment was even more shocking as the Jokers took inspiration from their own past punishments to put Fatone through it.
Among the highlights was Fatone being forced to host a fake dance show in a tracksuit replicated from an NSYNC doll of his, being forced to numb his gums, getting a tattoo, and even peeing his pants. “No, he really peed his pants,” Q tells TV Insider when asked if there was a special rig in Fatone’s pants to replicate the act. “We made him do a punishment gauntlet of things that we’ve done in the past, and Sal had to pee his pants once on TV, so we made Fatone do it,” Q elaborates.
Brooke Shields who Q was excited to see return. “Brooke Shields is back. They got her back to use against me,” he teases. “This season we have a bit where we go into a restaurant and we throw water in someone’s face, and they swapped out the person that I was throwing water in the face with Brooke Shields without me knowing.”
In other words, hilarity is sure to ensue. Don’t miss it for yourself, tune into Impractical Jokers on Thursday nights on TBS, and let us know what you thought of Joey Fatone’s premiere punishment in the comments section, below.
