Improv Everywhere held its 18th annual No Pants Subway Ride (NPSR) in New York City. Its notoriety exploded in 2006, when eight of the 160 participants were “taken into custody and issued summonses for disorderly conduct. All were ultimately released, said Improv Everywhere, the group that organized the stunt,” according to NBCNews.com.
Jesse Good, Improv Everywhere senior agent, noted the year after the 2006 debacle, is when other cities across the globe started their own No Pants Subway Rides. This year, 24 cities in 10 countries participated in the event, and more might be announced on Improv Everywhere’s website later.
Though he’s been there since the beginning, Good said he might not be around for next year’s NPSR. He hasn’t ruled out coming back, but said he’ll stop for the time being.
