(edit)
William A. Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, has accused Penn of engaging in anti-Catholic bigotry after remarks Penn made on his radio show.
(edit)
It is widely believed and reported on the Internet that Penn has prosopagnosia, a neurological impairment of the ability to remember and recognize faces.
(edit)
Penn dated Robin Quivers from the Howard Stern Show.
(edit)
Jillette is an avid fan of South Park, claiming that Bigger, Longer and Uncut was his favourite comedic movie. He apparently is on good terms with both Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and was cited by both as the inspiration for the controversial South Park episode Trapped in a Closet.
(edit)
Penn: Teller doesn't talk.
(edit)
Penn: Teller and I are a couple of eccentric guys who have learned how to do a few cool things.
(edit)
Penn: (Appeal to Identity) It's much more interesting to me than either Deal or No Deal or 1 vs. 100, because [it's] linking together the good-natured avarice of game shows with how we judge one another. You play it every time you go to a mall and think, 'What's her story?'
(edit)
Penn: (Game-show host street fight) By size and weight you'd take me, but I've never hit anyone. Saget doesn't have the muscle. And Howie is a germaphobe who won't touch anybody. We'd all put our hands in our pockets and look at each other.
