Penn & Teller
Does anyone know what the name of the convention these two run?
One of my friends is saying that Penn & Teller are jews... and so I want to rub this in his face 
any help would be appreciated.

I think it's The Amazing Meeting - Skeptic's Convention.
Yep. Although I think it's actually run by James Randi. Could be mistaken though.
I pretty sure that P & T don't run a convention of their own. They are almost always guests at The Amazing Meeting (TAM) which is put on by the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF)
They do however have their own show on Showtime called Bullshit where they show how full of crap things are ranging from religion, to alternative medicine.
You can find their episode on the bible here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUnDxiec414
They are both about as atheistic as you can get. Right up there with Dawkins and Hitchens. Penn also decares on national TV that there is no god here: http://concen.smartvideochannel.com/media/playvideo.aspx?f=flash7&cid=5F15FB1623C24349AFEC3D108E1693CA&v=mostviewed

I think the mythbusters are also at the conventions as well. I met them in San Fran once. I am not sure what their stance is on religion as to whether they are strong atheists or not, but great guys none the less.

Where the hell is this person getting this shit? Penn took the Blasphemy Challenge and has stated publicly that he is an atheist. I don't know what Teller's background is, but I doubt that it is that far off from Penn.
