Penn & Teller: Fool Us: Season Six Ratings

(The CW)

After a Nielsen ratings rise the year before, last year saw the Penn & Teller: Fool Us TV show fall once again. Was the earlier increase just the luck of the draw, or can they repeat it? Will Penn & Teller: Fool Us be cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned. *Status update below.

A CW magic competition series hosted by Alyson Hannigan, Penn & Teller: Fool Us showcases talented magicians performing their acts for comedic illusionists Penn Jillette and Teller. Those who manage to fool the pair win the opportunity to perform in Penn and Teller’s Las Vegas act.
