This week, Jennifer Morrison was interviewed by Carson Daly about her role on House. There was no mention of her leaving the show, but she did say at one point that her character would be back on the team “for a while” in the beginning of this season. It’s a little vague, but who knows if she already knew about her character’s departure at the time of the interview.
She also talks a bit about Kal Penn’s exit from House and about one of her new passions, introduced to her by her boyfriend Amaury Nolasco. She goes into a bit of …read more

Yes, it’s summertime. In many ways, that’s a good thing. But for House fans, it’s a frustrating time of the year. We have no new episodes to watch and very little new information about the show to learn.
It’s especially tough for bloggers like me who try to come up with new and interesting things to report to keep other House fans occupied until the new season starts. So today I spent a big part of the afternoon updating the informational pages for this site. They needed new information added to make them current, especially the cast bio pages. And …read more

In season 5 of House, Kal Penn’s character died, so we know he won’t be back on House (unless there are more hallucinations of him in store.) When he talked to us the day after Kutner’s death, he said ther would be no more Kumar movies to come because he’ll be working at the White House and won’t have time to film any more movies. So I have serious doubts about the reality of the Harold & Kumar movie still listed as in production at IMDb. But here are the movies with Kal Penn and one TV Pilot that …read more

By now, every House fan probably knows that Kal Penn, who played Kutner on on the show, left the show to go to work for the Obama administration. He’s working in an outreach capacity and my guess is that it makes some use of his celebrity to provide PR.
Here’s an example of what I imagine must be part of the job. He and several other actors recently took a tour of the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier during a USO handshake tour. The Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group is underway for a regularly scheduled deployment in support of the ongoing rotation …read more

It’s a very long-standing tradition at the White House to hold an Easter Day Egg Roll on the South Lawn. This year was no exception. But the big difference for House fans this year was that our dear Dr. Kutner, aka Kal Penn was there to help out.
Here are a few photos that were taken of him at the event. He seems to be fitting right in with the new job, doesn’t he?

Q: Kal, is there any chance that they’ll be having you do commercials or public service spots on behalf of the Administration?

I am stunned and sad to report to you that in tonight’s episode of House, Dr. Kutner committed suicide. I was shocked because I thought it was going to be Taub. I was stunned because I thought there might actually be a moment or two to prepare us for it, but there wasn’t. And I’m extremely sad because I really liked Kutner and I like Kal Penn as an actor. What an upsetting development!!
