Bell Labs, 1990. Several of the people named in the credits are at Google today.

That is a priceless moment in History. Arno Penzias is definitely the calmest guy to get through a Penn and Teller Prank. I wonder if Ashton can come up with something this brilliant? I think we got a new phrase out of this,'Can you 'Penziate' this gag?'

Thanks guys.

This is the best you can come up with for a Nobel Laureate?? I thought Penn&Teller were better than this.

It was perfect for a Nobel laureate. It plays brilliantly off his (perfectly legitimate) reason to trust the people he's working with.

Great set up - I was expecting a bit more toying before unloading the punchline.

Where's this video from?

[JasonBuckiTricks]

I don't know

[cyborgtroy]

The Internet.

damn, dennis ritchie and rob pike. you know you're a nerd when those two people are more known than that nobel prize winner. :)

Surely if Arno was so smart he would have noticed that the interviewer was absent when the camera went handheld and panned to the right?

Being a world-renowned physicist doesn't make you good at spotting where people are sitting.

The funny part is the technology to do this exists today. Check out dragon naturally speaking 9. It's actually a bit more advanced than the technology they were trying to fake.
