Due to several high-profile and tragic incidents, bullying has recently taken a prominent place in the national discussion. On 'Red Eye' (weekdays, 3 AM ET on Fox News) Greg Gutfeld argued that when people reflect upon their childhoods they tend to think of themselves as having been bullied, there may be more to the story. Gutfeld himself was both both the victim and the perpetrator of bullying.

"If we were all bullied," Gutfeld wondered, "then where are the bullies? The answer: we're both."

Penn Teller agreed with Gutfeld's theory:

"The thing you said . .. that we're all bullies, and although I never hit anybody . . . I was always very aggressive verbally. And when I Iook back on it, I never saw the bullying as anything verbal . . . and everything I said was absolutely OK."

"I look back on the incredibly cruel things I said, and when I was thinking about this bullying stuff, it was all 'you know, I was beat up a lot . . ."

The bottom line is that most children and adolescents can be pretty horrible to each other at times. This shouldn't excuse bullying, but it's part of what makes it such a complicated problem.

Las Vegas magicians and Bullshit! hosts Penn & Teller have inked a deal with ABC for an hour dramedy based on their real lives. To make it a little more interesting, they've added a fictional crime-solving element. Playing essentially themselves, Penn & Teller in the show will have a Las Vegas magician act at night. But during the day, they're "reluctant" detectives, solving crimes and saving lives.

One of the big questions I have is if Teller will talk. I suspect that he won't, even though we all know he can. He doesn't during their work together because it creates more humor that way with Penn blabbing on and on. If this is supposed to be loosely based on their real lives, though, wouldn't he talk once the stage show ends?

However, since this is still a Penn & Teller "show," I'm sure he'll stay silent. There's a lot of sight gags they can do with a silent Teller and a chatty Penn. I've enjoyed the guest stints they've had on other shows, and think they're one of the most entertaining acts in the world, so I'm intrigued.

Comedy-magic duo Penn & Teller have been challenging sacred institutions and debunking popular beliefs for six years with their Showtime series, Penn & Teller: Bullshit!. The seventh season of Bullshit! premieres June 25 on Showtime and will run through August. This year, the boys will set their sights on lie detectors, taxes, stress remedies and the Vatican.

Inspired by the fictional Dr. Robert Langdon, or not, Penn & Teller will attempt to reveal the "secret world" of the Vatican, which might or might not include evil albinos and lots and lots of running, in the season finale. We'll have to wait until August 27 to see that episode, but there'll be plenty of Bullshit! to watch before then.
