"One of the biggest challenges we face is staying kind
with profound disagreement—and staying kind when a mechanism has
been set up to make money and power out of hate." — Penn
Jillette
Penn Jillette (@pennjillette) is a cultural
phenomenon as a solo personality and as half of the world-famous,
Emmy Award-winning magic duo and Las Vegas headliners Penn &
Teller.
Together since 1975, Penn & Teller's live show spent years on
Broadway and is now the longest-running headliner show in Las
Vegas where it plays nightly at The Rio All-Suite Hotel &
Casino. The pair has been awarded Las Vegas Magicians of the Year
an amazing eights times.
As part of Penn & Teller he has appeared on hundreds of
shows, from The Simpsons and Friends to Billions. He recently
co-wrote an episode of the Emmy-winning Netflix series Black
Mirror.
He co-hosted the controversial Showtime series Penn & Teller:
Bullshit! which was nominated for thirteen Emmy Awards, won him a
Writers Guild award, and was the longest-running show in the
history of the network. He currently co-hosts the CW Network hit
competition series Penn & Teller: Fool Us! which was
nominated for a 2017 Critics' Choice award.
Penn's latest book, The New York Times Best Seller Presto! takes
an insightful and very humorous look at his recent weight loss
journey. His previous book, God No! Signs You Might Be An Atheist
and Other Magic Tales, spent six weeks on The New York Times Best
Sellers list.
His weekly podcast, Penn's Sunday School, was the number one
downloaded podcast on Apple Podcasts during its debut week, and
was named a Best New Comedy Podcast by Apple Podcasts.
On the big screen, Penn produced the critically lauded 2005
documentary The Aristocrats, which features over 100 of the
biggest names in comedy telling their versions of the dirtiest
joke in history. He produced Tim's Vermeer, which follows the
journey of an eccentric inventor determined to solve one of the
art world's oldest mysteries. The Sony Pictures Classics release
was nominated for a BAFTA and was shortlisted for the 2014
Oscars. He has recently completed the documentary Gambler's
Ballad profiling magic legend Johnny Thompson.
Penn & Teller have their very own star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame and triumphantly returned to Broadway recently with Penn
& Teller On Broadway, which was the highest-grossing
non-musical for the entirety of its run.
