VCO Artist of the Month—May 2010

 

             PENN & TELLER

          

Penn & Teller (Penn Jillette and Teller) are Las Vegas headliners whose act is an amalgam of illusion and comedy. Penn Jillette is a raconteur; Teller generally uses mime while performing, although his voice can occasionally be heard throughout their performance. They specialize in gory tricks, exposing frauds, and performing clever pranks, and have become associated with Las Vegas, atheism, scientific skepticism, and libertarianism.

Penn & Teller had national tours throughout the 1990s, gaining critical praise. They have also made television guest appearances on Babylon 5 (as the comedy team Rebo and Zooty), The Drew Carey Show, a few episodes of Hollywood Squares from 1998 until 2004, ABC’s Muppets Tonight, FOX’s The Bernie Mac Show, an episode of the game show Fear Factor on NBC, NBC’s The West Wing, guest stars during an 2 part episode of the final season of ABC’s Home Improvement in 1998, 4 episodes during season 1 of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch in 1996, NBC’s Las Vegas, and FOX’s The Simpsons episode Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder. They also appeared as Three-card Monte scam artists in the music video for “It’s Tricky” by Run-DMC in 1987, and are thrown out of a Las Vegas hotel room in the music video for “Waking Up in Vegas” by Katy Perry in 2009.

Their Showtime Network television show Bullshit! takes a skeptical look at psychics, religion, the pseudoscientific, conspiracy theories, and the paranormal. It has also featured critical segments on gun control, astrology, Feng Shui, environmental issues, PETA, weight loss, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the war on drugs... [read more]
