It's funny cause I don't know him

Ok - here's a word puzzle I heard on public radio the other day. It's pretty tough - maybe even blog-burying.

Think of a six-letter word ending in a silent letter that if you remove the silent letter becomes a five-letter word ending in two silent letters. What's the six-letter word?
