David Jacobs (gymnast)
David Jacobs is a retired American trampoline gymnast. Between 1966 and 1968 he won three world titles in the individual and synchronized trampoline events.[1] He is also known for his appearance on Impractical Jokers. In the episode "Irritable Vowel Syndrome," he said that he was a "superhuman athlete" while talking to Q after the turn ended. The other Jokers went to the scene and pretended that they were some of his fans and took a picture with him. All of this took place in the "On The Lookout" challenge at Fairway Market.
