The Impractical Jokers landed at a Central Jersey college recently for their latest prank, according to the school's newspaper.
If you're not familiar, the Impractical Jokers are three longtime friends who've made a huge, successful TV career out of daring and publicly pranking one another in the most embarrassing and hilarious ways.

The stars of the show, Sal, Murr (who lives in Princeton), and Q, were all on hand for the project, which has been in the making for over a year. Did you realize they planned the pranks so far in advance?
The prank was planned over the past year
Chelsea Lebo, the simulation coordinator for TCNJ's simulation and clinical learning resource center told The Signal, TCNJ's school newspaper, “The Impractical Jokers production team first reached out to me by email, looking for a nursing or medical program that incorporated standardized patients (patient actors) into its simulations. We responded right away with interest, and from there the planning process began."
The Jokers posed as nursing students
The dare was to see which of the Jokers was the worst medical/nursing student in a simulated clinical setting. The Jokers' job was to assess their "patients." The fake patients didn't realize who they were dealing with and ultimately had to rate their skills (bedside manner, diagnoses). Those ratings decided the winner of the prank.

I love to see local places on TV. Super cool, TCNJ.
