PENN & TELLER: FOOL US is a one-hour competition series celebrating magic and featuring the legendary duo Penn & Teller.

Brooke Burke is a television host, cancer survivor, entrepreneur, fitness educator, philanthropist, podcaster, and women’s health advocate who has been thriving in Hollywood for decades. The title she holds dearest, however, is that of mother to her four children – Neriah (21) and Sierra (19) Fischer and Heaven (14) and Shaya (13) Charvet. She has held numerous successful network television jobs and high-profile brand partnerships. In 2008, Burke became the champion of “Dancing with the Stars” Season 7 which she later parlayed into a co-hosting job that she would hold for eight seasons. Some of her other notable credits include producing and hosting the award-winning Saturday morning educational show “Hidden Heroes,” hosting TV Land’s branded content series “I Dare You,” and, most recently, co-hosting the iHeartRadio podcast Intimate Knowledge. Burke is the author of two books: a biography entitled The Naked Mom: A Modern Mom’s Fearless Revelations, Savvy Advice, and Soulful Reflections and Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Joy of Less.
PENN & TELLER: FOOL US is created and executive produced by Penn Jillette, Teller, Peter Adam Golden (“Penn & Teller: BS”), Andrew Golder (“Solitary”) and Lincoln Hiatt (“Solitary”), in association with 1/17 PRODUCTIONS and September Films (part of DCD Media).”
