Elvis Duran and the Morning Show ON DEMAND

This week, Tommy is joined by James “Murr” Murray, one of the funniest and most beloved comedians in the world. Audiences fell in love with Murr on the hit series Impractical Jokers, where he and his lifelong friends challenge one another to pull outrageous pranks and embarrass themselves in front of unsuspecting strangers. Now, Murr is flexing his horror muscles as the co-writer and producer of Don’t Move, the new movie based on his bestselling book of the same name. In this episode, Murr opens up about one of the most surprising parts of being a comedian, whether he ever gets tired of being the funny guy, and if any part of Impractical Jokers is staged. He also takes Tommy behind the scenes of what it really takes to bring the show to life, reveals which outrageous moments remain his favorites, explains why the group keeps politics out of its comedy, and shares why wearable technology gives him so much anxiety. Murr also discusses his journey into writing nine horror novels, adapting Don’t Move for the screen, and refusing to wait for someone else to give him permission to make the movie. He shares how he created the opportunity himself, names the one horror film he could watch for the rest of his life, and teases what audiences can expect from future seasons of Impractical Jokers. Murr also reflects on scaling the Empire State Building and opens up about one of the most difficult decisions of his life while his father was dying from Alzheimer’s disease.
And don’t miss Murr’s rapid-fire “Hot Takes & Hangouts” interview, part two of this conversation, dropping Thursday, September 17!

Who are the biggest cheapskates on the show? We call out Straight Nate and Scotty B for their questionable spending habits, debate whether electric cars are actually worth it, and hear from a listener with a serious fear of fish. Plus, we talk about Gen Z bringing back everything from vinyl and disposable cameras to libraries, and break down what makes the “perfect” relationship.

When there’s an outbreak of some sort, like the flu or COVID, we all wonder if we’re going to get it. But some of us are more compelled to think we’ve actually got it when people around us show symptoms. Now, imagine being overcome with the urge to keep moving your body, as if you have bugs in your veins. There were outbreaks of dancing mania throughout medieval times. It sounds festive but it wasn’t pleasant.
