About this episode

Bill Maher interviews Penn Jillette, discussing magic, politics, and personal anecdotes.

On Club Random Classics this month, Bill Maher sits down with Penn Jillette, one half of the legendary magic duo Penn & Teller. Bill tries his best to get the magicians' secrets out of Penn, and they discuss the love of humans vs. animals, the magic trick "Blood from a Stone," libertarians and seat belts, Penn being in the "nut chair" on Politically Incorrect, Bill's opening joke on the Jerry Lewis Telethon that almost got him canceled, the problem with young people's brains, Penn hopping trains as a young man, when Bill was a nanny, and much, much more.
