Co-star of “Impractical Jokers,” James Murray, was the Grand Marshal for Sunday’s Toyota/SaveMart 350
Grand Marshall, James “Murr” Murray, comedian from “Impractical Jokers” speaks to the media during a press conference prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway on June 09, 2024 in Sonoma, California. The co-star of the long-running show “Impractical Jokers,” James ‘Murr’ Murray, was the Grand Marshal for Sunday’s Toyota/SaveMart 350 and belted out a hearty, “Gentlemen, start your engines!” before the NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma Raceway.
It was all business for the drivers on Sunday. But for his own line of work, Murray doled out some advice for when jokes go horribly wrong.Murray, co-stars Brian “Q” Quinn and Sal Vulcano, and comedy partner Joe Gatto had one such gag involving former MLB pitcher Noah Syndergaard when he was with the New York Mets. As customary for some MLB players, Syndergaard usually signed baseballs and tossed them to kids in the crowd before games.
“It was great fun for me because I wasn’t the one getting punished. So, I did nothing but laugh. I was safe in the back.”“I think you learn how far you can push people and we always try to stay on the right side of likability. So that’s part of it,” Murray said. “Look at me. I don’t look like a tough guy. To quote Carl and Joe, I have a very punchable face.
Murray spoke with some drivers before Sunday’s race, including Todd Gilliland and Corey LaJoie. Asked what driver he would ‘punish’ — a feature of the show — Murray said Ross Chastain, who used a now notorious move in the final lap of the 2022 Xfinity 500 at Martinsville.
