Ten years later and the "Impractical Jokers" are still stunned by the success of their reality show. Joe Gatto, Sal Vulcano, James Murray and Brian Quinn first met about 30 years ago in high school before launching a comedy empire.

The group is internationally known for their reality tv show – which released its first episode in December 2011 – and three of the jokers spoke with Fox News Digital about how "surreal" their success still is to them.  (L-R) Joe Gatto, Sal Vulcano, Brian Quinn James Murray of ‘Impractical Jokers’ spoke with Fox News Digital about their upcoming 10th season.

"But if I take a step back and look at it, it is kind of mind-blowing like that.

We're still doing this ten years on with the same people and everything like that. Like it's pretty beautiful." The group then said that to them, it feels like they film their show and then "show our home video to people." "When you take a minute to think of what the scope of it actually is and who it's reached, it’s still to this day, surreal," said Sal Vulcano.

The "Impractical Jokers" have filmed 9 seasons, with the 10th season premiering on Thursday with Jillian Bell. Jillian Bell will be the celebrity guest on the first episode of the 10th season of ‘Impractical Jokers,’ which releases on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Gatto announced in January that he will not be.
