I'm having trouble getting my head around an interview with Teller. We all know he doesn't speak. :)


Here's a talk he did at Google where he talks at length:

If you go to any of their shows in Vegas, he hangs out after the show and talks with the fans. Felt very weird talking to him.


They don't seem to do this anymore. Or, at least, not without paying some money. I think they have a "Hang with Penn and Teller"-like thing that you can buy VIP tickets for.

The other thing to note is that Penn and Teller are getting old. Penn is 70 and Teller is almost 80! Don't expect anything in their act which requires physicality anymore.


Unfortunately I think they have stopped doing this since COVID.


Maybe Vegas is different, but I saw them just a couple of weeks ago. They were doing a 50th anniversary performance at the place they did their first show together, the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. They hung around in the crowd for at least 20 minutes after the show, talking and letting people get selfies.


He speaks at the end of the movie “Penn & Teller Get Killed”.


He has a speaking role in an old 1987 baseball movie, "Long Gone", with William Petersen and Virginia Madsen, as the son in a father/son partnership who own a minor league team (Henry Gibson was the dad). Very disorienting to hear him talk when I first saw the movie way back when.
