Jonathan Ross is back presenting Penn and Teller’s TV magic show – which has a new home on Channel 5.
The chat show host – who left the BBC in 2010 before moving to ITV the following year – will front Penn And Teller: Fool Us In Vegas.
Filmed at the Penn And Teller theatre in Las Vegas, the series challenges magicians from around the world to try and trick the masters of illusion.
Four magicians will perform in every episode as Penn and Teller try to figure out the mechanics behind each trick.
American illusionists and entertainers, Penn and Teller have been a duo since the 1970s, combining comedy with magic.
In 2013, they were honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Channel 5 and VIMN (Viacom International Media Networks) head of acquisitions, Katie Keenan, said: “I’m delighted to announce Penn And Teller: Fool Us In Vegas for Channel 5.
“The public’s appetite for this magical duo has never abated. Pair them with Jonathan Ross in a glamorous Vegas setting and you have event TV at its best.”
Jonathan worked on a previous Fool Us series with the world-famous illusionists on ITV in 2011, before it was picked up by US network The CW for a second series.
