Emily Amick is a well-known make-up artist, but she is also remembered as the recurring guest appearance on Impractical Jokers, and for her rumoured relationship with Brian Quinn.
Impractical Jokers is one of the more popular shows to air on truTV. While the show was anchored by the comedians and faces of the series, Murr, Sal, Q and Joe, it also had multiple recurring guest appearances that fans still wonder about.
One of those recurring guest appearances is Emily Amick. While popularly known as the make-up artist of the stars, Amick also featured on camera as the series make-up artist during some of the funniest episodes. Her last appearance on the series was in 2017.
What is Impractical Jokers?

A look back on Emily Amick’s time on Impractical Jokers
Emily Amick was the make-up artist for Impractical Jokers, first landing a credited role on the series in 2013 for the episode titled Get Out of Dodge.
The episode was part of the second season, which aired in January 2013. Thereafter, she was not only the cast’s make-up artist, but also went on to feature as the on-camera make-up artist, making cameos in a number of episodes.
While it might have been her appearances that piqued fans’ interests about her, but it can be argued that it was her rumoured relationship with Impractical Jokers’ Brian Quinn which made her a point of fascination.
The two allegedly dated, as pictures of them circulated in the media, and Impractical Jokers was considered the show that gave her her big break in the industry.
During her first stint, Amick was part of the series for 46 episodes between 2013 and 2015, her last episode being Damned If You Do.

Therefore, the rumoured relationship has remained a matter of legend. This is as Amick later married her long-time boyfriend, Shaun O’Dwyer, in 2019.
The wedding ceremony was attended by close friends and family. However, it is believed that the couple did not have a wedding reception in light of the height of the pandemic during this time.
Is Brian Quinn dating now?

Moreover, he also allegedly dated Stephanie Remini, who is the sister of The Kings of Queens’ Leah Remini. But this, too, has never been confirmed.
The first person that he was linked with was Emily Amick between 2012 and 2013. However, this relationship has never been confirmed and remains a matter of myth.
