An early Penn (Julie Brown) and Teller on MTV/Halloween

Postby MaxNY » February 15th, 2015, 1:18 am

No real magic here, but Penn and Teller got invited to the MTV Halloween Party around 1987. Penn went in costume as Julie Brown. Confused? So am I. Teller reveals some Apple Razor blade prank you can make at home.

This was about a year after I broke into NYC television. MTV was one of our biggest clients, and we housed their studios for about a decade. This is a real early television appearance of Teller... Remember to Subscribe to my YouTube site to keep up with thousands more uploads. Enjoy!

"Downtown" was African American, and headed up The Grind first shot at the Palladium. This Julie Brown called herself "the real Julie Brown." I think she peaked right after this was shot with some "Chicks from Mars Movie."
