FOR 35 years Penn Jillette has been making news as part of the beloved magical and comedic duo Penn & Teller.
He has headlined at The Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas for the past decade, and has enjoyed sold-out runs on Broadway, world tours, Emmy-winning TV specials and appearances in everything from Favid Letterman and Jay Leno’s shows, Friends and The Simpsons. And he has recently been seen on the US version of Celebrity Apprentice.
Jillette has now made news of a different kind by purchasing a Nissan LEAF – the first one to be bought in his home town of Las Vegas.
‘When I car shop, all I say is, ‘‘how comfortable is the seat, and how good does the radio sound?”‘ he said.
‘Because the LEAF is electric, the radio sounds really good.’
Jillette has plans for his Nissan LEAF, including using it on his 11-mile commute to work at the Rio, and painting it a distinctive pink to match the other vehicles in his fleet. Keep your eyes peeled for this new super star making its way along Las Vegas’ Strip, driven by one of the city’s most-beloved magicians.
‘I have many friends in showbusiness, and they all have many cars that they change all the time. I don’t. I think I’m going to like it and I think I’m going to have it about eight years,’ said Jillette.
