America's Got Talent

[IoEstasCedonta]

What is it about New Englanders saying "gut" instead of "got"?

[tuseroni]

"america's done got some of that there talent"

lol

[deathonaburrito2]

I hate that there's an English judge on there.

2 now that Sharon Osbourne is one too.

Britain's got Talent doesn't have an American judge.

Just strikes me as something that shouldn't be.

[pennsays]

Hi Penn fans. Penn Says videos have been discontinued, so you won't be seeing any new content on here. You can check out our Profile on our Channel Page for more info. We'll still be checking in, so hope to keep chatting with you all! Thanks!

[guitarplayer]

Haha, I watched the trick at least five times trying to see when she could have gotten out of the box, didn't even think that it could have just been editing for TV.

[ilovetheview47]

i remember seeing it. did she die?

[bandgeek8986]

@ilovetheview47 Did you even pay any attention to the video at all?

[ilovetheview47]

@bandgeek8986 google sarcasm

[pennsays]

We should get Grammar Girl to discuss this show's title.

[aztecmija]

I saw that. It was awsome!!!! I was sooo grossed out lol.

[LondonsBurning5]

THERES TAlENT IN DEM AMERICAS

[Eggland21]

I LOVED the trick during AGT! :D

[StewieSwan]

you realize the 's stands for 'has', right?

[4QBUD]

's means IS not Has. America IS got Talent. Hahaha. It should be "There is Talent in America, I ain't kiddin'!"

[StewieSwan]

Fail.

Go learn some english.

[rick7531]

@StewieSwan no

[coryhainesmagic]

I normally enjoy these blogs, but this one kind of bothered me. As a magician I have many friends who have done America's Got Talent. From many different performer's I have heard the consistent story that the show goes out of their way to make the magicians look bad. It has reached the point that the major magic periodicals have run stories about it. I'm dissappointed that Penn and Teller would be supportive of an enterprise that is so actively hurting our art.

[umbilicaltapeworm]

@coryhainesmagic they're giving you exposure, getting your names out there. some people are just never happy.

[YouAreHorrid]

They don't go out of their way to make magicians look bad... Magicians already look bad. Just look at the TONS of AGT videos with bad magic.

[Scrapheap71]

Well, at least Penn admited to doing a "Chris Angel" AKA camera trick with editing.

[WisconsinParkour]

You have started a new rant my friend. lol

It seems like ever since the tragedy that was 9/11, people have been afraid of a lot. Not economically, but in regards to everything. The dog fighting was made into a much larger deal than it should have. I bet the reasoning behind that is that they are afraid of all violence, or realistically simulated violence. I mean even I've had moments of that. I noticed too that everything has been a lot less edgy. I.E. WWE, PG with absolutely no attitude! bs!

[lurkist]

It's mostly an excuse to be a jerk, but if you want take this insight and do some good remember two short commandments.

Pity ignorance.

Persecute willful ignorance.

[mbutchin]

I saw that trick on YouTube-- I love how you do a classic illusion, then actually start to (seemingly) explain how it's done, but with incredible twists.

Question-- Everyone saws the woman in half across the waist. Have you ever tried to saw a woman in half lengthwise? Could such an illusion be pulled off effectively?

[NihongoMusic]

I watched this, you guys were awesome! wish I had the money to see your show live...

[naughtypagan72]

'Them there US Americans done gut talent' :p

[frosty3579]

I think the trick was good. Usually I can pick out how it's done, but not this time. Good Work!

[gjford]

criss angel stuff! i knew it! criss angel is a fraud!

[bigboy9153]

I wouldn't say fraud, but he uses so many actors and so many tricks that can only be done with camera angles and views.

In my opinion, not at all impressive and super boring.

[GunOwnerDan]

If I knew you guys were on the show, I would have watched it. But that would have been the only reason!

[pennsays]

Did anyone out there that watched the episode, not like the trick?

[TimKilgore]

I really dislike the show but watched because I saw you guys were on it and was hoping for an atheist diatribe. I really liked the trick though, I do think it's MUCH funnier with the girl remaining dead, but hey it's TV right? If they understood humor we wouldn't have the same sitcom with the same jokes with the same characters every fall.

[funnygreenmen]

How could you even think that! I actually think her coming out in the end made the trick way more awesome!

[poorkinghaggard]

I totally agree! It should be "America HAS talent".

[badderinperson]

"America's Done Got Some of That There Talent"

[AnAverageSkeptic]

I hate that show, but I watched episode you guys were on and it was great. Great twist on the trick.

[alixinthemiddle]

i totally watch that! i was so happy to see you were there!!

[Thereminator101]

I saw that...it looked very real! I'd like to see the prep-work. Sharon jumped...funny.

[miffed123]

fuck sharon osbourne she has single handedly destroyed ozzy's career

[misterdrucker]

well, it was a career that SHE GAVE BACK TO HIM. she brought him back from ruin.

[sniper6081]

Why's the flag button disabled?

[IgorSavtchenko]

Probably because Sony vouches for Penn's broadcasts. But yeah, good point.... can't flag Penn :))))

[ShortbusMooner]

I kinda prefer it to Idol, but I'd rather not watch either of them. I love Sharon Osbourne, though. She's shrewd, and real.

(Cris Angel sux ballz!)

[Scrapheap71]

"(Cris Angel sux ballz!)"

Well, then I've got a job for him, he can make my cock disappear down his throat!!

[poorkinghaggard]

*high five*

[Scrapheap71]

Dude! I love your screen name!!

Ted Haggard is completely heterosexual, glory howheblewyaa!!

[ArsSpiritia]

I cut a woman in half once but my lawyer said that I'm not supposed to talk about it until after the trial.

[borderlinebuddhist]

lol!

[breanna1992]

I think it's fine as long as you keep going with that insanity plea. You can't let them know it was planned.

"I went to confront her about Jimmy. The last thing I remember is seeing a saw...then the next thing I see her laying on the floor in half and the saw in my hand. I just snapped. I killed her. I KILLED AN INNOCENT PERSON!"

You'll get through this.

Just stick with the story.

[ArsSpiritia]

I'll practice in front of a mirror.

[UssenterprizeDv2]

I really enjoyed watching that trick on AGT. Fine job there Penn! Glad it worked out.

[NapalmXD]

I just watched it. Fucking awesome dude!

[IAmTheWarbringer]

America's got none grammer.

[JoMariebentzler]

LMAO

[Scrapheap71]

What? ain't you born American?

[machchunk]

America Has Got Talent

that's how it works

[happipillproductions]

I dislike shows like "Americas got Talent" it is stirs up commotion for no reason. Though I saw the episode of your performing, had to watch to whole episode since you guys were on at the end, but it was worth it.

[kramcas2]

Was the Hoff drunk?

[TheVigilante2000]

WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADMISSION:

I saw that trick and thought it was legit. I thought the best part was how you got her out of the box, and I did not understand why you did not play it up. Now I understand you cheated (bastards). The only way I figured you did it was that Gorgie (sp?) had a twin sister. But still you did not play it up? You were ashamed!!! (and rightly so)

[unclestaco]

"Cut loose" DOHOHOHO!

[CleanFingernails]

ya.. it shuld b

Teh Americas Have Talent

L8r

[fords08]

i saw u on there it was awsome

[SPFIREHAWK2]

are you being omish toward the new slang use of a word? .. dont be omish...although that hair you done got there is lookin close

[Dursty87]

i think you mean AMISH

[LincolnLogAdam]

I saw it.

I love you guys.

[TheAist]

i saw it, it was shocking! loved it.

[ufo8mykat]

Grammatically, "America's Got Talent" is correct (Penn, I'm sure you know this). It breaks down to America (has) got talent, making "got" a helper verb.

[p2umpkin]

It's grammatically correct, but I agree with Penn, it just sounds ugly.

[Nemesis000000]

@p2umpkin What would you prefer? America has talent? That sounds horrible for the name of a show. America's in possession of talent? Come on there's no better way to say it.

[turtleglop]

Grammatical sammatical!

[donquickoats]

Correct, possibly, but definitely redundant. Which makes it ugly. The construction "has got" is another one of those quaint Britishisms.

[ufo8mykat]

*snicker* That's an awesome username.

[donquickoats]

Why thank you.

[dualisticnature]

He done got some of that there talent.

[spencerhearne]

I tried out for that show and they said I was one of the best teen jugglers they had ever seen audition and that they would call me if i made the show but I didn't.

[realdoogie]

I was so happy to see they didnt censor your trick, especially in a day where EVERYTHING on network television is just so bland.

Disemboweling via GIANT SAW...that's just great television.

[MagnusIan]

I noticed it was TV magic b/c I new Georgia reappearing at the end wasn't part of the original trick. Still great to watch though. "OMG she's being cut in half! Someone call 911!... Oh wait, it's a trick." xD

[calamazue1989]

Penn , what did you think about Texas passing a law that states the bible has to be taught in school ?

[defect530]

Penn you are just great!

[KarateKidX]

Oh i saw that on tv

[jameel88]

ya i think every one saw the doll replacement...kinda weak but whateva give the familys what the want

[UltraBibendum]

nigger weed

[breanna1992]

Is that better than cracka weed?

[katchison]

What can I say to that?

[ncfwhitetigress]
