Penn and Teller receive Walk of Fame star

ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />STORY: The magicians Penn & Teller received the 2,494th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Friday (April 05) after more than 35 years of entertaining fans with a Las Vegas act that they've also taken to Broadway, television and on world tours. Penn & Teller's star is located near that of Harry Houdini's. Penn Jillette and the taciturn Teller have performed together since the late 1970s, redefining the genre of magic and creating their own distinct niche in comedy. They had a 10-year run at The Rio All-Suite Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, one of the longest-running shows in Las Vegas history. They have also enjoyed successful television series, on U.S. cable networks Showtime and Discovery Channel.
