- OOOh.... CLASSIC! You know, the really goofy thing about this
- special is that as stupid and annoying as Penn Gilette was, I LOVE him
- when he's doing his Penn&Teller act. Has anyone else here seen
- 'Penn and Teller get Killed'? It's quite an excellent film. It's a shame
- the folks in the booth couldn't have given PG some more interesting
- dialog or at least let him use his own style or something (let DOOGIE
- host the show!!!). This ball was dropped by the head office at CC, and
- there wasn't much for PG to do but go along with it (deeeeep huuuurrrrting...
- DEEEEEEEEP HUUUURRRRRTTTTINNNNGGGG!). Thought I'd defend an excellent
- performer despite that he went along with something this stupid...
