Ep 1. Dinner Party Show 1

The episode "Dinner Party Show 1" marks the beginning of the Impractical Jokers' newest venture, a virtual dinner party where they chat and play games with celebrity guests each week. In the first installment, hosts Joe, Q, Sal, and Murr invite actor and comedian Joel McHale to join them for a night of laughs and hijinks.

After a brief introduction, the guys and Joel dive into the first game of the night: "Most Likely To." In this game, the group takes turns guessing who is most likely to do certain things, both good and bad. The catch? They have to hold up a sign with the name of the person they're guessing, and anyone who gets three guesses wrong has to take a shot.

Next up is a game of "Two Truths and a Lie." Joel takes the lead, telling three stories about his life, two of which are true and one of which is made up. The other guys then have to guess which one is the lie. The game takes an unexpected turn when Q reveals that he once had a pet raccoon and Murr admits that he's never seen "The Godfather."

The final game of the night is a classic: "Who's Phone Is Ringing?" The guys place their phones on the table, and whenever a phone rings, the owner has to answer it on speakerphone and say a pre-determined phrase. If they mess up, they get a punishment. But when Joel's phone rings, the guys decide to have a little fun and answer it themselves, leading to a hilarious exchange with Joel's wife.

Throughout the episode, the chemistry between the hosts and their guest is undeniable. Joel is a great sport, laughing along with the guys as they rib each other and participate in the silly games. Even when the jokes start to get a little wild (as they inevitably do with this group), everyone stays in good spirits, making for a fun and lighthearted atmosphere.

Beyond the games and jokes, "Dinner Party Show 1" also gives viewers a peek into the Impractical Jokers' lives during quarantine. The guys are all chatting from their respective homes, and they joke about the new challenges they're facing in isolation (like having to shave their own heads). It's a reminder that even in tough times, there's always a way to connect with friends and have a good time.

Overall, "Dinner Party Show 1" sets the stage for what's sure to be a fun and entertaining series. If you're a fan of the Impractical Jokers or just looking for a good laugh, this episode (and the series as a whole) is definitely worth tuning in for.
