As crazy as that sounds, the Kepler spacefcraft has found such a planet.

As per the SpaceFlightNow website:
"The first confirmed example of a planet orbiting two suns has been found in the Kepler dataset. The gaseous world is similar to Saturn in terms of size and mass  and experiences a surface temperature dipping to -100 degrees Celsius
so it  is unlikely to host life."
