Special Guests: Lewis Black and John Bowman

Panties rarely thrown at comedians and magicians (or people with glasses).

Penn’s trained grasshopper at the MGM.

John: Yawning, hat-stealing, Montecore-like dog.

Lewis: The horror of crickets in theater. Penn: No one else notices.

Tom Jones in concert. What a man is supposed to be!

Lewis: Plays MGM three weeks a year. Hard to resist drinking and gambling in Vegas.

Penn’s parking space is ten yards from dressing room. Never sees the casino or strip.

Before building his house, Penn would just sit in his room and read. Won’t watch TV when on the road. Read or sleep only choices when friends aren’t around.

Goudeau: Used to go out with dancers after his show.

Lewis has John, but not the dog.

John: Paul Newman posed with the dog.

Penn pirate radio.

Black: New magician in New York: Eric Walton. Ricky Jay livid over the new guy stealing his language style.

Penn: Everybody steals in magic and comedy. Everybody in show business has a magic act and sells real estate.

Black: It’s all in the delivery system. Penn: It’s all in everything. So much is your style. Ricky has a very strong style. If somebody else is doing something similar in their act, P&T; cut it immediately.

Lewis Black is hard to rip off.
