Revision3 might have finally found a star bigger than its own founder Kevin Rose (who co-hosts Revsion3’s flagship show Diggnation ). The Web video production house just signed magician/comedian Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller for a new show called Penn Point . The first episode will go up on May 24.
The format will be a 3 to 7 minute rant by Penn on politics, news, pop culture, or whatever he wants to rant about. Maybe he’ll throw a magic trick in every now and then. Or he can show off the iPhone app he launched at TechCrunch50 . Really, whatever he wants to do. Revision3 will edit the video to make him look good. (I’m in the wrong line of work, should have been a magician). While you are waiting for the first episode, here is a backstage camera-phone interview Paul Carr and Sarah Lacy shot of Penn at TC50 (Penn is such a large man, it took two of them to interview him):
