At this point, truTV doesn't really make an effort to hide how vital "Impractical Jokers" is to its programming lineup. It seems like no matter when you turn on the channel, an episode of the show is unfolding in all of its hilarious glory. Sure, truTV does have other strong titles worth watching, but none have reached a comparable level of popularity to that of "Impractical Jokers." This has brought many truTV viewers to the conclusion that "Impractical Jokers" doesn't need truTV, truTV needs "Impractical Jokers."
Redditor u/okreal7546 raised this point in a thread about truTV's reliance — or overreliance, depending on who you ask — on "Impractical Jokers," questioning if the channel could survive without it. "They had like 2 other movies in there in the last 2 weeks. It doesn't seem like a wise idea to only air 1 show," commented u/bryku. Due to this near-constant airing of "Impractical Jokers," others wonder if the series will run on for as long as possible — eventually reaching a point where it's still going without Sal, Q, and Murr at the helm of it.
Until that day comes, however, it stands to reason that "Impractical Jokers" will remain the undisputed flagship program of truTV.
