James S. Murray is a writer, Executive Producer and comedian, best known as "Murr'' on the hit TV show Impractical Jokers. Impractical Jokers airs on TruTV and TBS between the hours of 8am through 8am the next day, pretty much 7 days a week. The show is in its 11th season, with Season 12 on the way in 2025.
Prior to Impractical Jokers, he worked as the Senior Vice President of Development for the TV company NorthSouth Productions for over a decade. During his tenure there, he developed and pitched thousands of TV shows, and even sold a bunch; of which a couple were pretty good.
As the President of Impractical Productions, a TV and Film Production company, Murr develops and sells highly commercial, produceable content in the TV, film and literary worlds. Impractical Productions adapts Murray's literary IP for the big and small screen while also developing and producing original content.
Murray is also a co-owner of Bad Woods Entertainment, part of a first look TV development deal with Warner Brothers Discovery. Our legal team likes us to disclose that while the company is called "Bad Woods" the ideas are quite ok actually.
Murr also tours the world playing sold out venues such as Madison Square Garden & the 02 Arena in London. That being said, he'd perform at a Knights of Columbus hall if the price were right.
He is an international bestselling author with 9 published titles from major publishing houses such as HarperCollins, St. Martin's Press, Blackstone Publishing and Penguin Random House. Murr's action-packed novels span many different genres (including mystery-thrillers, horrors, science-fiction, serial killer novels and paranormal). And he's written 3 sci-fi comedy kids books. You know, for the kids.He's also a loving husband to his wife, Melyssa, and to his puppies, Penny & Pepper. Just to be clear - he's only married to Melyssa.When not filming, producing or touring the world, Murr is at home in Princet
