In what is for all intents and purposes a Dancing With The Stars exit interview with Robin Leach, Penn Jillette confesses he tried to talk Teller out of betting $5,000 on his long shot odds to win the show.
Jillette: I told him, what are you doing? He said to me it is really important to me. I said you are p—–g five grand away, and he said it is the best use of the money. He said it is very important that he use it that way, it is a personal thing to him to try to win $350,000 to see me right through to the end. Ah, Teller, of course you couldn’t be more supportive of Teller.
He also confirms that he will be back on the show for the final episode and that although he hopes to keep the 50 lbs. he shed off, you probably won’t catch him cutting a rug anytime soon.
