SIDEWALKS host Veronica Castro interviews comedians Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano (aka Prince Herb in this interview) from the comedy troupe, The Tenderloins. They talk about their careers and their TBS game show series, “The Misery Index.”
Mini-Biography:
Both born on Staten Island, New York City, Joe Gatto and Sal Vulcano have been friends since high school and were members of their high school’s improvisation club. After college, they reunited and formed an improv and sketch comedy troupe, The Tenderloins, along with James Murray and Mike Boccio (he has since left). In 2007, The Tenderloins won the $100,000 grand prize on NBC’s “It’s Your Show” competition series. In 2011, the troupe (which now includes Brian “Q” Quinn) became the stars of TruTV’s “Impractical Jokers.” Additionally, they starred in the feature film, “Impractical Jokers: The Movie” in early 2020. The Tenderloins started their own podcast in 2012.
