Penn Jillette: The Interview

18 Dec

Posted by Alex Davis as Identity, Interview, NBC, New Show

Penn Jillette has quite a career under his belt already. He has a hit show on Showtime: “Penn and Teller: Bullshit!”. He has a hit Las Vegas show. His movie “The Aristrocrats” is in the theatrical comedy record books after a short time. Now he gets to add another profession: game show host. Tonight, Penn Jillette will host “Identity”, a brand new game show on NBC which makes people match up different identities to different people for $500,000. Recently, I was at a teleconference hosted by NBC and had the chance to talk to Mr. Jillette. This is what I came up with; I hope you enjoy. Note: sorry for the low quality right now. We’re testing software to bring back the Buzzer podcast again and this was a trial run, so to speak.

Just wanted to say it seems like you got some very insightful responses, especially from Penn. Good stuff.

Yeah. It’s not saying much, but your demeanor and good questions were heads and tails above Steve Beverly’s “interview” with Bob Saget during the 1 vs 100 conference call (which he also put up on his site in a sound byte)
