Trapped In The Closet came out in 2005 so the internet wasn’t as vast in information yet or as available. Not even most Scientologists knew the truths of their teachings. So how did Matt and Trey get such in-depth info on the subject?

They answered this in a 2006 interview with Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller. Penn had complained (a few years earlier) to them that Showtime pulled the production of a Scientology based episode of Bullshit! Trey and Matt said “Give us your information because we’ve always wanted to do an episode of how Tom is in the closet”. The baton was passed (so to speak) and the result was Trapped In The Closet.

Bullshit was such a great show.
