Gilbert and Frank welcome back an old friend, illusionist, filmmaker and comedian Penn Jillette, who holds court on a host of offbeat topics ranging from strippers’ tricks of the trade to Dennis Miller to the Three Stooges to summoning the spirit of Bela Lugosi. Also, Penn debunks “cold readings,” exposes phone scams, insults Richie Havens and compares Jerry Lewis to Lou Reed. PLUS: The Amazing Kreskin! Penn auditions for “Ishtar”! Gilbert annoys Harrison Ford! And “The Day the Clown Cried”!
