On the eve of the most romantic holiday Hallmark has ever created, heavy music's medically cleared lovers and partiers STEEL PANTHER are adding another career milestone to their ever-expanding resume. Michael Starr, Satchel, Lexxi Foxx and Stix Zadinia joined up with Q, Murr, Joe and Sal for an appearance on the 200th episode of the hit TV show "Impractical Jokers". "Impractical Jokers" airs on TruTV and the STEEL PANTHER episode is set to air this evening at 10 p.m. (check local listings).
