NBC to Launch Series Starring Penn Jillete

NBC recently announced that Penn Jillette, the taller and louder half of magic/comedy duo Penn & Teller, will host a new series. Vying for a $500,000 grand prize, contestants will try to match the correct identities of a group of total strangers. However, looks are deceiving and truth is not always in the eye of the beholder.

The series, called "Identity," will premiere as a five-night event from Monday, December 18 through Friday, December 22 (8-9 p.m. all nights).
