Identity on NBC: Hit or Miss?
1
I watched this show the other night and was kind of excited about it until I realized how obvious a lot of the identities were. Like the shark attack victim wearing a bikini and the rodeo girl in the cowboy hat. Some were marginally difficult, but with the process of elimination and the lifelines, I wasn't impressed.

It's kind of disappointing when the producers of great shows like The Office and Ugly Betty get a talented, Emmy-winning entertainer like Penn Jillette and come up with this. It could have been so much better.

This online identity game is not for prizes, but it's still kind of fun. You get the same lifelines as on the show, too. I've definitely killed some time here.
4
Here's a little bio on Penn Jillette, the bigger and louder half of Penn and Teller. Kind of interesting.
5
The IMDB page for this show isn't really set up yet, so there's not a lot here. The message board is kind of fun to check out though.
6
Here's Penn Jillette's IMDB entry. Kind of an impressive resume, and I had no idea about some of the trivia stuff. (Cato Institute H.L. Mencken Research Fellow?)

Penn Jillette was executive producer of this little film. Which, by the way, was the raunchiest, most disgusting movie I have ever seen. If anyone knows Bob Saget as Danny Tanner from Full House, they don't know Bob Saget.
