Her Career And The Wedding Prank
Jenna started making money in her first job as a receptionist and activity coordinator. She was later featured in the hidden camera reality series "Impractical Jokers" that was launched by her brother Sal. The series was popularized by Sal together with his friends, Brian Quinn, James Murray, and Joe Getto or the so-called The Tenderloins comedy troupe. Their group was formed in 1999. The troupe only gained much recognition after winning the "It's Your Show" NBC competition in 2007.
Jenna's first appearance in the comedy series was in the "Strip High Five" episode, where she was doing pranks with her brother and his friends. The fans immediately took a liking to Jenna's outgoing attitude and wished to see her again in the series. Sal Vulcano did not leave the fans disappointed; Jenna had her second appearance in the "Down in the Dump" episode in 2013. In this episode, Jenna was in a slideshow presenting Sal and Joe Gatto in a vacation resort. It is also where Jenna was filmed kissing Brian Quinn, who wore no clothes in the resort. After that, she was featured in the most hilarious and remarkable episode of the series, which was the "Brother-in-loss." This is where a huge wedding ceremony was held to tie the knots between Jenna and James Murray. Both of them were legally married at that moment. There was a scene showing the "couple" signing the application for the marriage in the Office of the City Clerk. Before the actual wedding, Sal was blindfolded and was not allowed to figure out what was about to happen. He was then forced to watch the wedding ceremony and was unable to utter any words because his mouth was taped throughout the service.
However, the newly wedded couple were only good for a day. The wedding was made to be a prank for Sal as revenge after punishing James to skydive from a plane. The exchange of vows was all for the sake of the prank, and they annulled the union a day later. There were assumptions that Jenna and Sal would have a dull relationship after the intense prank was pulled off. There were even rumors that the "Impractical Jokers" would be disbanded due to the tension between Sal and James. But none of these came true. The siblings were still tight as they were before, while Sal and James are back on good terms.
"Impractical Jokers" has aired eight seasons and more than 200 episodes with 30 specials. It has been airing on truTV since December 2011. The show has received numerous praises from prominent critics and fans. The New York Postwriter, Linda Stasi, described the show as "the funniest, and most ridiculous show I've seen in years."
