"I should want to cook him a simple meal, but I shouldn't want to cut into him, to tear the flesh, to wear the flesh, to be born unto new worlds where his flesh becomes my key."OK, I know you guys have been patiently waiting for the next update on the future of Kal. Here's what we've got so far. The first half of Season 4 of House wrapped on Tuesday Night, meaning that new episodes won't be on until January/February. That truly does suck. In case you weren't aware, House narrowed a field of candidates down from 40-some until he handpicked his new team of three doctors. Well, the hot chick made it, the plastic surgeon guy made it, and I'm thrilled to report that Kal also made it through. What this means is that from now on, Kuuuumar will be on every new House episode and they won't toy with my heartstrings by pretending to fire him like they did every damn week this fall.
A quick look at Kal's IMDB page shows that "Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" has already been filmed, and is due to release April 25.
Kal also is working on a TV show called "Two Sisters" with Margaret Cho that will probably be so awful that they only air it in Guantanamo.
His other current project is a comedy called "Under New Management". IMDB describes the plotline thusly: "Two co-workers send their boss on a sex cruise and then turn office into party central, causing profits to soar in the process." They left out the phrase "Hilarity Ensues.", but that seems to be a virtual certainty.
All in all, it's a grand time to be the Charter Member of the KPFC (Kal Penn Fan Club, duh). In more personal news, I've convinced Ang that if we have twin boys we can name one of them Kal. I don't imagine she'll have any problem going with Penn as the middle name.
As a final note, if any of you have seen Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj, please let me know if it's worth the 4 bucks to go rent it. I've tried to TiVo it but I can't find it on cable.
