He has appeared on Dancing with the Stars, MTV Cribs, and Chelsea Lately and hosted the NBC game show Identity. As part of Penn & Teller, he has appeared more than twenty times on David Letterman, as well as on several other TV shows, from The Simpsons and Friends to Top Chef and The View. He cohosts the controversial series Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, which has been nominated for sixteen Emmy Awards. He is currently cohost of the Discovery Channel's Penn & Teller Tell a Lie and the author of God, No! and Presto.
Praise for GOD, NO! "Penn Jillette is a 21st-century Lordof
Misrule: big, boisterously anarchic, funny, Rabelaisian,
impossible--andunique. There isn't--couldn't be--better not
be--anybody like him."--Richard Dawkins, bestselling author ofThe
Greatest Show on Earth and The God Delusion
"Penn Jillette of the comedy-magic duo Penn and Teller holds
nothing back in 'Presto!' as he describes how he lost almost a
third of himself in a rather unconventional way. Using honesty and
humor, he takes readers on his journey to discovering a healthy
lifestyle....Jillette has written an extremely funny and somewhat
profane book that will motivate others to seek weight-loss
solutions."--ASSOCIATED PRESS (AP)
"This hugely entertaining book chronicles Jillette's weight-loss
odyssey, but it really does much more than that...funny and
profane...undeniably inspiring."--Booklist
"This planet has yielded exactly one mutual friend for Glenn Beck
and me and that friend has written a brilliant book called God,
No!. Penn reveals 'the big secret of magic, ' tells you why tattoos
are perfect expressions of atheism and exactly what to eat when you
know you're going to vomit later."--Lawrence O' Donnell
