James Murray-known to millions as “Murr” from the hit TV show Impractical Jokers-joins Travis on the Travis Makes Money podcast. As a founding member of the comedy troupe The Tenderloins, James has spent over a decade turning hidden camera pranks into a cultural phenomenon. Beyond TV, he’s an executive, bestselling author, and live performer. What makes James unique is his journey from TV executive to on-screen star, and his candid insights into the business side of making comedy-and money-in Hollywood.

On this episode we talk about:

– How James and his friends created and sold Impractical Jokers from scratch

– The realities of TV development and why the first thousand ideas are never the best

– How little the cast made in the early seasons-and why they stuck with it anyway

– The turning point that made Impractical Jokers a network-defining hit

– How to leverage TV success into books, tours, and multiple revenue streams

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Persistence pays off: The first thousand ideas are usually bad or already taken, but pushing past them leads to truly original concepts.

2. Start small, think big: Even massive TV hits often begin with low pay and uncertainty-success comes from building on small wins and seizing new opportunities.

3. Leverage your platform: TV exposure can be the “mothership” that launches books, tours, and other ventures-attention is a commodity, so use it to multiply your impact and income.
