Baby boy born to magician Penn Jillette

penn jilletteYesterday, magician Penn Jillette's wife gave birth to their second child, Zolten. "Zolten" is his wife's maiden name. In a scenario that was quite suitable to the magniloquent magician, his wife actually started giving birth at the hospital while Penn was doing his radio show. Halfway through the show Penn was forced to leave it in the hands of his co-host as he bolted from his home studio and drove through Las Vegas traffic, staying connected to the radio show via his cellphone while his wife and her doctor made calls to the radio show to let Penn and everyone listening know how things were going. You can listen to the chaos in all its glory by clicking here and then clicking on the "May 22" show.

How old is Moxie? Um, 11 months or so, I believe. Irish twins. Eeeek.

It's a shame Penn couldn't get there in time to help deliver the baby himself.

I get this whole Bullwinkle "Watch me pull a baby out of my wife" vibe from the possibility.....

How old is Moxie? Seems like you just announced her birth.

Zoltar would be much better, I think.

Well, it's not as cute as Moxie Crimefighter*, but naming your kid after Dracula's dog is kinda amusing. I keep thinking the kid's name is Zoltar, though.
