Penn and Teller

Looking forward to the special on NBC tonight. I've always enjoyed their work. They bring something very fun, theatrical, and entertaining to their work. Plus, getting to see how the tricks are done will be an added treat! It might be ruinous to some, but will be fascinating to me!

I love Bull****. Almost enough to keep me paying for Showtime.

That's the name of their series on Showtime where they debunk stuff.

Oh yes.

They are very dry comedy-wise. If you get it and you like that type of humor, it can be very entertaining.

but I like and get British humor, so I thought I'd get theirs....sigh

re: Penn and Teller

I've found them to be hilarious over the years, especially their off-Broadway show years ago and their many appearances on Letterman.

I got real thrill a month or so ago. I was at a show and noticed Teller at intermission TALKING to two women. I had to hang around and eavesdrop for a bit before continuing on to my seat. It was the first time I'd ever heard his voice after seeing him perform dozens of times. Sometimes it's the little things ......

I can't abide these two performers. I will do anything to avoid them. I certainly wouldn't pay to see them.

What does his voice sound like Margo?

re: Penn and Teller

I heard Teller talk, too! It was after their Vegas show, when they were out mingling with the audience in the lobby. Teller looked at me and shouted, "Hey, (some name) showed up!" I couldn't understand who he was saying, but he was either mistaking me for someone else or making a joke that I didn't get.

You can also hear his voice on the episode of The Simpsons where he's a guest star.

Hard to describe his voice other than, it's more or less exactly like you'd think it would sound -- a bit mousy. Definitely more tenor than baritone.

re: Penn and Teller

Penn Jilette's wife had a baby about six months ago. They named the kid:

MOXIE CRIMEFIGHTER JILETTE

He says the "Crimefighter" is so when she grows up and gets stopped by the police, she can get out of tickets by saying, "But officer, Crimefighter is my middle name!"
