You didn't hear him during that one Bullshit episode where he goes off-camera and yells, "Mother fucker?" Penn's response was, "Well, whaddya know? He does talk!"
You're literally a fucking idiot. Obviously it's fucking Teller. It was a sarcastic comment, do you literally not understand the slightest bit of sarcasm you shitty fuck lol
Sanotize There is no such thing as a sarcastic comment telling the truth. P.S. You sound like an ass when you bring up the word "Disability" as an insult, and yes, it was an insult.
editor58 When you want to create a "dynamic" video but you only have one camera. I ended up looking away as it was taking away from what he was saying, haha.
I got to be part of their act at the Rio a few years ago as an audience member. It was the bullet catch trick and I got partnered with Teller. Penn was busy talking to the audience while Teller and I had a nice sideline conversation.
It's called finding a way to do what you want to do every day and make it pay you. When you can do that it takes a LOT longer for time to win, because even the stress isn't poison anymore. When you love what you're doing stress is excitement.
Teller seems like a great, cool guy. Talented and funny. Well-spoken. I love listening to him talk, and watching him during his silent performances. He seems like 2 completely different people.
I do find it funny that Penn (who I nevertheless consider to be funny, quick-witted and well-spoken), with a voice that sounds like he makes a habit of gargling broken glass while smoking a pack of cigarettes, is the spokesman of the act. Teller has a quite pleasant, even-keeled voice and ends up playing the mute in the act. The arrangement is like a little joke unto itself, very much in line with their style of humor. Of course, their act being what it is, the one with the voice you'd expect from some sort of huckster at a carnival just has to win out in the end.
That's one of the many cool things about Penn and Teller both. They will talk to their fans. They don't think they are better than their fans and are above their fans. They are cool guys. Even my 81-year-old religious father loves them.
I saw one of their shows many years ago in downtown Baltimore. During intermission, Penn came outside and hung out and talked to us. He pointed out that Werner Klemperer (Hogan's Heroes) was up in the balcony but he didn't want to disturb him by calling him out.
I can confirm this. I met both of them after their show in Vegas. Totally down to Earth, very nice, and give all around good vibes. Didn't get to speak to them long however, would like to have an extended conversation with them again someday.
It actually completely changes my perception of him to hear his voice. He sounds fascinating, intelligent like his partner, well spoken, charming, and sweet. His magic persona is mysterious, intriguing, and vaguely comical. Completely different character.
He's the real magician of the duo. Penn is ok, but if you watch closely, Teller is the real genius behind their tricks. His slight of hand is really top notch.
Mahadragon Penn is always vocal about that fact. When he met Teller, Teller was already a great magician and Penn was more of a juggler, so he had good hand skills, but Teller had to reach him about magic, slight of hand and illusion. Teller was certainly a good enough magician to go it alone, but I guess he thought he needed an over-the-top personality for a partner, because he is so laid back. Can’t argue with his feeling there. The duo have worked great for so many decades. I don’t think either one would have been quite as successful without the other. Teller was the Bud Abbott (straight man) and Penn was more of the Lou Costello (The loud, goofy and obnoxious one) Not that Teller isn’t funny, he is damned funny, even as a mute, but then again, Bud Abbott was far funner than most people think. He just played the dry humor, as Teller has. I love dry humor more than loud humor. Bob Newhart is one of my favorite comedians.
Teller only is silent when he and Penn are doing a gig as Penn and Teller. Penn Jillette and Teller both speak during TAM events. Teller has given lectures to audiences regarding techniques of illusion. Teller will probably give more interviews about Tim's Vermeer going forward. Yes, he's a great communicator and is quite brilliant, really!
Christopher Mulholland you want to see seniors dies on camera, hot foods like Ghost Peppers and Carolina Reapers cause heart and respiratory problems, they literally have CAUTION on the labels warning about this for the sauces and powdered spices.
Just found this. Enjoyed it enormously. Teller is exactly as I thought he would be - shrewd, thoughtful, dryly funny and a nice chap. Thanks for putting this up.
Is itweird that I find this man so incredibly handsome? The fact that I hear him speak makes me only love him more, and gosh. He's around his 70s right now xD
I've never seen or heard about Penn and Teller until about a few days back. But after I saw the first few pictures and their type of humor I instantly sucked up all I could. I watched all Fool Us episodes out there and I just loved what they have done. Also watched 3 specials, more coming up. But what I loved most is their honesty in what they think. Especially Teller. You can see he had a great life because he is not like most of mankind. He clearly shows what he feels and doesn't give a shit about what others think. You can see everything from finding something funny and enjoying it to its fullest, but you can also see when something really touched him. He doesn't need words for it. Now, hearing him speak about a movie I never heard of, made me love that man even more. It shows so much of the person behind teller, and even Penn and its just totally different from what you would expect but in such a way that it yet again fits in but in a new way. Might be language barriers kicking in here. So if you don't understand that, no problem. Those lines of text are more for myself.
Teller honestly has the most amazing voice I've heard. Like I could listen to him all day and not be bored. I'm entertained at hearing how intelligent he is. He's really smart and I wish he would talk more in the public eye.
Fabulous to have the background to the making of "Tim's Vermeer" it is a stunning piece of work. As a painter I am totally convinced that Tim Jenison has solved the question as to how Vermeer achieved such "photo realistic" paintings. A superb piece of research.
You can really see Tellers emotion in his eyes & the way he conveys when He is describing. It's like every second He's about to let loose & cry over talking about it. This is a man who has not been jaded by life, but who truly appreciates everything for what it is & the value there in.
I enjoyed the content of this interview a lot. As a cameraman myself, I wanted to slap the operator. The constant zooming in and out was driving me nuts. Pick a size and stay with it a while. You can hang on good content for a long while. I chalk it up to inexperience.
Youre an expert. Arent cameras meant to mimic the way we see things? I.e. Taking in the full picture and occasionally focusing on details. We see vicariously through the camera and this style forces the audience to basically feel like they are on pills.
I figured it wasn’t a pro operator because of that same issue. It seems almost like a kid using the camera - but it’s likely that he’s new and just trying to be good at his job.
@@sciencenate No, you know what it is? It reminds me more of those TV interviews when they just do sudden jump cuts to different camera angles like a side shot or a close-up shot, and the cameraman was trying to mimic that to absolutely shitty results.
Tim's Vermeer is probably my favorite documentary, and while it was hard to find it in theaters, my husband and I got to see it on the big screen. Loved it and the technique that Tim discovered to explain how on Earth Vermeer did his work... absolutely amazing.
If you ever go see their show in Vegas, both Penn & Teller stand outside in the lobby to shake hands, take pictures, and even exchange a few words with every single person who would like to do so. They're both extremely personable fellows who love what they do and seem grateful to their audience for allowing them to continue doing it.
The movie 'Tim's Vemeer' was so cool that I watched it for about 5 hours re-watching several parts and a lot of the extra's. Tim is an amazing person it so many way's that it's him that is the subject of the movie. I highly recommend it, it's like a who donnit and a technological marvel. Thank you Penn Jillette Thank you Teller
At almost 50yrs old this is the 1st time I've heard him speak. Very enjoyable , but also kind of like when "KISS" took off their makeup. Love this guy. Penn too.
This film "Tim's Vermeer" is incredible. As a student of art and art history for years, I totally loved and absorbed every minute of this film. I loved this film and heard yesterday that it is being considered for an Oscar nomination for best documentary. This film totally deserves all the positive recognition it is getting. I was amazed at Tim's brilliant idea and his amazing execution of the painting. This film should be required viewing for all art history students. The great Hockney even was amazed......that alone is better than an Oscar.
Very humanizing interview. i lived in Philly for 20+ years, and Teller definitely reminds me of someone from the Main Line. Its good to know that this duo can also peer into the classical arts.
Got lucky. As a fan of the late late show, i am watching the show doing host roulette post - Craig Ferguson. Got to the episode of late late show hosted by Drew Carey with Penn & Teller as guests. During the interview, realized I didn't know what the hell they were taking about (talking about some film and some earring painting) and I had never heard of a "Vermeer." A few TH-cam clips later and I'm fascinated and ready to buy this film ! Really cool how they deep dived into this passion-filled project and exposed something really special to themselves; about art, curiousity, and ultimately, about all of us.
I fell in love at his first two words: "Good day!" * sweet head nod*. After the mandatory questions about his talking were out of the way, he really warmed up to DP. I'm surprised this didn't extend past 30 min. Teller talks a lot!
Antón Ojeda Especially since the only times I heard him talk before was acting like he had a high pitched “Penn, shut up!” shrilly voice for one of his Penn and Teller acts, and another where he pretended to be the ghost of Harry Houdini, where he sung with a higher pitched voice.
To perform, entertain and be silent on stage and show emotion through facial expressions, physical gestures and timing-amazing. 2nd only to Harpo Marx.
Fantastic interview. Thank you Ray Teller for devoting so much effort into making this film. I’ve watched it several times already and will watch it again many more times in the future.
The most amazing thing about him is the fact that he's 71 years old at this point. That's absolutely insane. Most 71 year olds are knocking on the heaven's door while he still looks like he's 50. So energetic.
I imagine many watching here are fans of Penn & Teller (and perhaps simply curious to hear Teller actually speaking!). For any fans who haven't yet seen "Tim's Vermeer" - even those who may not typically watch documentaries - I'd really encourage you to check it out. It's a beautiful, fascinating film, and an obvious labor of love for everyone involved. It's easy to see how Penn and Teller were drawn to this story, as it draws together questions about the nature of art, aesthetics, the role of technology, "debunking", and asks "What exactly would it mean to 'cheat' in the creation of a beautiful work of art?" And "Does such a question even have any merit?" I first saw this in a theater, and the moment early in the film that reveals Tim Jenison's finished mirror painting of his father-in-law's photograph sent a collective gasp and chatter through the audience. We all leaned forward a bit in our seats. I'm pretty sure I whispered "Holy shit..." under my breath. It's also really funny. I had no idea the final cut was culled from 2400 hours(!) of footage....the editor on the film who Teller mentions, Patrick Sheffield, did yeoman's work here. The score is really nice too, and helps glue the whole thing together. Again, a really beautiful, captivating, and astonishingly wonderful little film.
toxicgraphix Have you seen it yet? I found it completely fascinating and I am nowhere near being an artist. Just enthralling how this art was completed!
Ah, Teller. Totally immersive. So many interesting gems. So intresting thinking about our times, the possibities that you used to your advantage and the thoughts about it. And so much more. Great!
Tim: I hope I can finish this painting, so we can make that movie. Teller: We'll still make a movie if you don't finish the painting. It will just be a different movie. That put enough fear in Tim's heart, to make sure he finished the painting. Source : Pennssundayschool
Wow. Such a great interview. The novelty of hearing Teller speak was oddly satisfying. Silly of me to think that the absence of speech in his professional life suggests he wouldn't be so articulate and insightful when he DOES speak. I've seen Tim's Vermeer, but have to see it again. Thanks so much for this video! Great stuff.
So glad I ran into this because I saw the movie on the shelf at my library a hundred times, and picked it up and put it back down. Now I can't wait to go back.and grab it!
I am so happy to finally hear his voice. I always feel bad seeing his performances without hearing from him. But if he's happy being silent, then I'm happy.
@@BreadandFaxes He has always talked outside their act, in interviews and so on. Even some TV shows from the late 80s or early 90s he talks, as usual. Even on stage he speaks to people in the audience from time to time.
Having just watched the film of Tellers documentary Tim's Veneer, it was frigging brilliant, Vermeer is my fav artist, any wannabe artist NEEDS to watch this. Fantastic...
Teller has such a beautiful voice.
Jonas The Movie Penn's is gravelly, not worn. (It was, anyway.)
lol
I need to hear it speak to me in Latin...
Like butter, but I never knew that IS how it sounds, my partner and I always watch Fool Us but we never knew how Teller sounded.
Billy Weed
I AGREE
I WOULD LOVE TO STARE AT HIS ANUS
"And did you study the great silent performers?" "No, not really. I just shut up." Best line of the interview :)
you know, when he is silent he has an innocence about him.
Yeah. I've always thought that
He really does have a "childlike" face. Not speaking really does add to that feeling of innocence.
sofullofpiss bruh
get in line
IT MAKES me want to SPUNK on his INNOCENT childlike face
feels like seing someone naked you shouldn't
i know right? it feels taboo
I feel the opposite. Him talking, feels like he is dressed up.
He isn't actually talking

Teller actually talked to me once at the Rio Hotel in Vegas. I was amazed he had a normal voice but it could have been a trick!
One of my bucket list items is to meet Penn and Teller!

Can’t argue with his feeling there. The duo have worked great for so many decades. I don’t think either one would have been quite as successful without the other.

And "Does such a question even have any merit?"
I first saw this in a theater, and the moment early in the film that reveals Tim Jenison's finished mirror painting of his father-in-law's photograph sent a collective gasp and chatter through the audience. We all leaned forward a bit in our seats. I'm pretty sure I whispered "Holy shit..." under my breath.
It's also really funny.
I had no idea the final cut was culled from 2400 hours(!) of footage....the editor on the film who Teller mentions, Patrick Sheffield, did yeoman's work here. The score is really nice too, and helps glue the whole thing together. Again, a really beautiful, captivating, and astonishingly wonderful little film.
I want to see this movie, I have never heard of it til now. this interview was 2013: as an artist this just sounds so interesting.
I believe he was getting a little teary eyed by the end of this interview
toxicgraphix Have you seen it yet? I found it completely fascinating and I am nowhere near being an artist. Just enthralling how this art was completed!
29:42 "To get to that kind of amazing beauty, it takes time, it takes pain, it takes determination... and it takes a sense of humor."
his driver license and passport is named NFN Teller, NFN stands for no first name because he legally changed it to only one name
Pecker Whiplash is that true?!?
Great interview. I came to hear Teller talk, I left with a movie to watch and a new appreciation for Teller as an artist.
Another reason why i love Teller...
Ah, Teller. Totally immersive. So many interesting gems. So intresting thinking about our times, the possibities that you used to your advantage and the thoughts about it. And so much more. Great!
Omg never thought id hear what his voice sounds like
Fascinating! First time I’ve ever seen Teller speak.
Tim: I hope I can finish this painting, so we can make that movie.
Teller: We'll still make a movie if you don't finish the painting. It will just be a different movie.
That put enough fear in Tim's heart, to make sure he finished the painting.

Wow. Such a great interview. The novelty of hearing Teller speak was oddly satisfying. Silly of me to think that the absence of speech in his professional life suggests he wouldn't be so articulate and insightful when he DOES speak. I've seen Tim's Vermeer, but have to see it again. Thanks so much for this video! Great stuff.
With Tim's help, Vermeer did not fool Penn and Teller.
So glad I ran into this because I saw the movie on the shelf at my library a hundred times, and picked it up and put it back down. Now I can't wait to go back.and grab it!
I love listening to him talk. Don't know why.
One of the most amazing docs I have ever seen. I was moved as well.
Holy crap, he's got a really nice voice.
Speaking with out talking is so pure and intimate.. tellers fase and gestures conveyed things the words could never atchive
Penn talks and Teller loves writing, how curious.
I am so happy to finally hear his voice. I always feel bad seeing his performances without hearing from him. But if he's happy being silent, then I'm happy.
“Teller” has always been such an ironic last name, until now!
You can tell he loves what he is doing with all his heart and that is something that makes a person beautiful. :)
+Trampadoo yes a person that dose not take his life for granted i think that what i like about him too
That means he is over 70 now.
The things this man does not say will amaze you every time. One of my favorite of all times
No way his personality seems so differen when he talks
Teller sure has a smooth speaking voice.
It's an honor to hear him actually speak.
Just watch the movie really fantastic and he’s right, once you understand the mystery you’ll enjoy the art that much more
I would argue that this is the single best voice-over in film history. Props to the voice actor!
Poor Teller, every interview he has to first talk about not talking.
Well, I mean when you go 40+ years in your career as a silent act and then start talking, people have lots of questions.
@@BreadandFaxes He has always talked outside their act, in interviews and so on. Even some TV shows from the late 80s or early 90s he talks, as usual. Even on stage he speaks to people in the audience from time to time.
Having just watched the film of Tellers documentary Tim's Veneer, it was frigging brilliant, Vermeer is my fav artist, any wannabe artist NEEDS to watch this. Fantastic...
I'd love to see a more academic, 10 hour cut of Tim's Vermeer.
Teller is so awsome. I love the way he does magic without talking.
So sad that none of the comments are about the subject of the interview.
You could've started one
Just like yours! And mine!
I'm thoroughly pleased when artists do art. In different media makes it even sweeter.
First time I've ever heard his voice. It was surreal at first.
And what's with the camera constantly zooming in and out? It's distracting.
"I have the best life in the world". That is a fulfilled individual.
