"Magician Penn Jillette" was the featured guest on "The Colbert Report" for November 1. Comedy Central will air this show one more time this evening (I believe), in case you missed it. Otherwise, Penn's segment might be available at the Comedy Central web site.
Of interest are the parts of the interview that were "bleeped out" (actually there was no "bleep"; the sound was just turned off), especially in light of what was allowed to air unimpeded. If you can read lips, you'll know what Penn said; and even if you can't read lips, you can figure it out from the context. (For those of you who are squeamish, the "censored" material contained no dirty words at all!)
At one point, Penn and Colbert began throwing things at the audience (if you see the interview, you'll understand why), and the piece really went into the crapper from there.
