Brian “Q” Quinn of Impractical Jokers is facing renewed criticism over a resurfaced podcast clip from 2015, where he referred to two teenage fans as “two hot 17-year-old girls.” The comment was made during an episode of the Tell ‘Em Steve-Dave! podcast, which he co-hosted at the time.
Quinn, then 35, was discussing a segment where fans were invited to submit original songs to be played at the end of each episode. He praised a band formed by two teenage girls, saying he was relistening to their music and intended to purchase it. While the discussion centered on musical appreciation, the phrasing has drawn backlash online for its inappropriateness, despite no suggestion of further misconduct.
This incident adds to a growing list of controversies involving members of the Impractical Jokers cast.
James “Murr” Murray has been accused of sending inappropriate messages to a 16-year-old fan between 2012 and 2013. The accuser alleged Murray, then 35, made suggestive comments and gave her gifts during in-person meetings. Murray has not publicly responded to these claims.
Former cast member Joe Gatto has also faced allegations of sexual misconduct. In March 2025, a 19-year-old woman accused him of assault after a show in Milwaukee. Another accuser, a former employee, alleged Gatto engaged in unsolicited physical contact and inappropriate comments. Gatto denied wrongdoing but acknowledged poor judgment, later canceling his tour and entering treatment.
As of now, Sal Vulcano is the only original cast member not facing public allegations.
With past behaviors resurfacing, fans are expressing concern about the group’s future and reassessing their long-standing support.
