Best of Penn Says: Getting Famous

Yeah i just turned 26 and I knew all of them.. could name all 4 beatles first & last name without a problem.. and have seen johnny carson & george carlin perform on tv. Also knew who andy kaufman was as well as that the song was about him..

It's the Beatles... as in "beat"

ok so she is young and dosnt watch too much tv, good for her :]

I think Penn was going for the joke side of this to illustrate perception and irony. Both of these elements play huge roles in a comedian's life. People will always know the beatles, just because some 23 year old Montessori teacher from Texas had square parents doesn't mean huge elements within pockets of culture are meaningless. I'm going a little far here but you see what I'm saying, you need the people who don't know something so you can be one who does. Hell maybe she'll start listening to the beatles now and in a year know more than Penn?

I'm 22. Born in LA, grew up in Oregon. Didn't know the Beetles only had four people and I think I've seen clips of Carson. But the rest of the names I don't have a clue. Penn is absolutely right. Even the Beetles, without whom music would not be what it is today, will be forgotten, and their memory is already fading. Seek fame not for immortality but because that's what feels right to you because nothing is eternal.

All the example really showed is that he talked to a woman with very little pop culture knowledge. I am also 23, and I knew of everyone mentioned in this. I am a little shocked she didn't know of George Carlin or Johnny Carson.

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
