AI Summary
5 min readTheo Von hosts Sal Vulcano, star of Impractical Jokers, for a wide-ranging talk that mixes comedy shop talk, health tips, family reflections, and oddball stories from their lives. Their banter stays light and personal, touching on TV nostalgia, practical self-care, parenting realities, and quirky finds like a lost wedding VHS, all while highlighting the comforts of shared laughs and everyday absurdities.

They reminisce about shows like Highway to Heaven (Michael Landon's probationary angel helping an ex-cop aid the needy) and a failed 2021 reboot with Jill Scott.
