I kinda liked Penn's show, to be honest. Did he actually quit doing the show all together? or is he just off FNY?

<p>From Pennfans.net:</p><p>As you know today [March, 02 2007] was the last Penn Jillette CBS Radio Show. Here is the official word on why the show has come to an end: <br /><br />"Penn and CBS would have been very happy for the show to continue had the one hour format proven to have been easier to program in to more markets." <br /><br /> "Penn does look forward to returning to the radio someday with Goudeau and the rest of the PennRadio team." </p><p> </p><p>If you go to pennfans.net, you can hear his last show (and all past shows) where he explains this in detail. I would be pretty cynical normally, but I genuinely believe that Penn was physically unable to do more than 1 hour a day and the 1 hour format was incompatible with most markets and their programming schedules. I loved the show and listened regularly, even though I disagreed with a solid 45% of what he said. It was the cultured, mature discussion of NPR with much more of a pulse. </p>

<p>This is always the way. I actually found myself listening to one of his shows last week and enjoying it. He was talking to one of the Myth Buster guys.</p><p>Oh well. Good luck, bro. Always liked Penn and Teller.</p>

<p>Didnt listen to the radio show except a couple of times, but Penn always ruled on Bullshit and, well, he's a weird combination of guy with an obnoxious voice [how long has Comedy Central used him?] who is also really really smart and a life-long fan of magician/skeptics like the Amazing Randi, so, um...</p><p>Hes OK.</p>
