IT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD BE FUN AT THE TIME: “Kal Penn, star of the ‘Harold & Kumar’ movies, will leave his job in the Obama administration to appear in a new Christmas-themed flick as his signature stoner character, Entertainment Weekly reported Friday, citing the actor’s representatives.” Sellout. Well, re-sellout. [NY Post]

Hola wonkerados.
To improve site performance, we did a thing. It could be up to three minutes before your comment appears. DON'T KEEP RETRYING, OKAY?
Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you.

He’s going to have a hard time trying to persuade the writers of House to write Kutner back in, though.
And to do a pilot for CNN with David Shuster. You’re welcome, DustbowlBlues.
Quitter…
Like no one saw this coming. Commence eye roll sequence now.
Ca-ching!
…after which he plans to spend six months as governor of Alaska.
He is moving on to become a “special policy advisor” to the Craft Services table.
Seriously, what the fuck did this dude do anyways?
I for one, look forward to not seeing the film. But hey, if you can get money for that kinda thing, go for it. Good on you.
I feel the same way about hustlers, incidentally.
[re=547832]SayItWithWookies[/re]: True. I believe he may have served in the White House longer than Palin served in AK State House. And no ethical lapses to speak of either.
[re=547822]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Maybe he can come back as a ghost. Like Spike did in “Angel”.
If Kal Penn leaving “House” led to Olivia Wilde being added to that show’s cast, you’d have to admit that it’s another triumph for Hopey.
[re=547829]Joshua Norton[/re]:
Yeah, long hours for less pay didn’t turn out to be as attractive as it first seemed. Portraying a stoner for a lot of money wins.
[re=547832]SayItWithWookies[/re]: ohpleaseohpleaseohplease…if ONLY he would run for governor of Alaska. A win by a landslide.
And we’ve now all learned that our governor does no actual work, so who cares, he/she/it may as well just get pleasantly baked.
[re=547841]V572625694[/re]: No, they were there simultaneously.
Who’s gonna score weed for Sash and Malia now?
[re=547822]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: They can make it an Easter episode. ‘Tis the season for zombies.
[re=547857]Autoo[/re]: Neil Patrick Harris?
hmmm maybe he should be a guest on Flashforward now or an old friend of sulu’s in the next star trek, a red shirt LOL
After Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay, I can only suggest that Kal rethink this decision.
An actor who can portray a ganja-smoking, islamo-terrorist dood with a White Castle jones and then receive an Oscar for the lead role of an assasinated SF hair dresser and politician, well … hatz off to you, mother fucker!
When will Sally Quinn write about this scandal? Must. Know. Truth.
[re=547833]Suds McKenzie[/re]: He had the hook-up, duh.
Fuck you, Van Wilder.
Hope and Change don’t pay. Imma get up out dis biatch an get PAID! Unowhatimsayin?
