If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I've always wanted to be able to watch Penn & Teller's Bulls**t, as I heard it was a great show, but I didn't have ShowTime. It looks like, however, several of the show's episodes are available online, and they are great.
The other thing I love is how they'll riff on other magicians sometimes. Like the first video below how they total riff on Criss Angel.
This video is funny, too, but the cackling hens from The View almost ruin it:

As you might guess, Teller would pull live leeches out of a mason jar and they'd miraculously disappear. Of course, being Penn & Teller, at the end of the trick Teller unbuttoned his shirt sleeve, pulled it up & revealed about a half a dozen leeches attached to his arm.
Letterman nearly launched out of his chair in shock/disgust. It was simply wonderful.
