Actor David Cross has been a comedy staple for decades. As seen through his work as David in the sketch comedy show "Mr. Show with Bob and David," an "Arrested Development" regular, and a leading character in the film series "Alvin and the Chipmunks," being funny seems to just be in Cross' nature.
Given this, it might come as a surprise to some that he was initially hesitant to appear on "Impractical Jokers." He revealed that he had never watched the show, and isn't a fan of prank shows in general, as he sees them as "messing with innocent people." So when he got an offer to guest star, he was skeptical. "But then as I was watching the clips," he revealed, "I realized, 'Oh, they're not messing with innocent people. They're messing with each other.'" He explained that, upon watching the show, he found it "endearing" and "funny," admiring the cast members for being "ballsy to the point of like, kind of dangerous."
Given that Cross was new to the prank show world, his appearance on Season 9 of "Impractical Jokers" is wildly impressive. In addition to having the guts to follow some pretty brutal instructions, Cross even improvises one of the episode's wildest moments: cutting up Murr's credit cards. Many viewers said he seemed like he'd been on the show all along, and fit right in with the other cast members. What more can you really ask for?
