Penn & Teller are a couple of eccentric guys who have learned how to do a few cool things. Together since 1975, their award-winning theater show has been a long running hit on and off-Broadway. The duo keeps a busy touring schedule, performing live more than 100 times this year alone. After playing small clubs, theaters and the Renaissance Fair circuit, Penn & Teller's off-beat brand of magic and comedy gained national attention when their stage show opened off-Broadway in 1985, leading to appearances on Late Night with David Letterman, Saturday Night Live, and Miami Vice.

In 1987 their stage show moved to Broadway, the first of two successful runs. Favorite guests on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, and Live! with Regis & Kathie Lee, Penn & Teller have made dozens of television appearances including, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Today Show and Saturday Night Live. Penn & Teller are also frequent guests on several popular television series, having appeared as Drell and Skippy in the hit ABC series Sabrina, The Teenage Witch; as attorneys Fenn & Geller on The Drew Carey Show; as well as appearances on Friends, Dharma & Greg, Babylon 5, Home Improvement and The Simpsons.

The 1985 PBS special, Penn & Teller Go Public, won two Emmys and the International Golden Rose.
