10 Weirdest Cameos In TV Shows That Made No Sense
7. Penn And Teller On Babylon 5
In the world of stage magic, few duos have been as successful as Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller.
Penn & Teller combined classic slight of hand magic with huge stunts and comedy as part of their very successful live show, which translated into several big TV appearances for the pair over the years.
One such appearance was on an episode of space opera Babylon 5 called Day of the Dead, which first aired in 1998.
The eighth episode of the show's final season, Day of the Dead sees the characters visit a festival that allows them to contact their deceased loved ones. Oh, and while all this serious stuff is going on, Penn and Teller turn up as two intergalactic entertainers.
Playing Rebo and Zooty, who are basically fictionalised versions of themselves, they amuse the residents of the space station with their old timey stage show. This isn't just a one-off either, as they're in this episode a lot!
Hopefully Teller didn't get paid by the line, otherwise he'd been seriously screwed over.
To make things even weirder, this episode was written by Neil Gaiman! What a time to be alive.
