TV3 Group has commissioned a local Lithuanian version of Warner Bros. International Television Production\u2019s (WBITVP) Impractical Jokers<\/em>.<\/p>\n This marks the 14th adaptation for hidden camera prank show, which was originally created by the American comedy troupe The Tenderloins. In each episode, comedian friends compete to embarrass each other in public with outrageous dares.<\/p>\n The Lithuanian iteration will star Antanas Sadauskas, Markas \u017dukauskas, Simanas \u017durauskas and Viktoras Balykovas.<\/p>\n The original U.S. version has 11 seasons and more than 300 episodes, as well as numerous spin-offs and specials. Internationally, the format has been adapted in the U.K., the Netherlands, Greece, Mexico, Sweden and Australia, among others. In Australia, The Inspired Unemployed (Impractical) Jokers<\/em>, produced by WBITVP Australia, recently returned for its third season.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to see Impractical Jokers heading to Lithuania and welcome TV3 into the global pranking family,\u201d said Andr\u00e9 Renaud, group VP of format and finished sales at WBITVP. \u201cThe format is evergreen, highly adaptable and a lot of fun to produce. We\u2019ve seen titles like The Bachelor<\/em> and Cash or Trash<\/em> perform consistently well across Central and Eastern Europe, and we believe Impractical Jokers<\/em> offers something equally compelling in prime time: a strong sense of friendship and playfulness that resonates with audiences everywhere. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing our Lithuanian pranksters bring this format to life.\u201d<\/p>\n Arvydas Rimas, creative director at TV3 Group Lithuania, added, \u201cImpractical Jokers is the \u2018gold standard\u2019 of hidden camera prank shows, so we are delighted to have struck this deal with WBITVP. It is exciting to have four such high-profile, popular and witty comedians already on board, so we look forward to moving into production and getting the first pranks underway. TV3 Group Lithuania has consistently set a standard for the country by presenting the most relevant and up-to-date global formats, so we have high hopes and every confidence that Impractical Jokers<\/em> will quickly become an important \u2018must-watch\u2019 title for a wide audience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TV3 Group has commissioned a local Lithuanian version of Warner Bros.
