Kal Penn



Day Job: Recurred on "House" and is currently filming A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas



Side Project: In 2008, as a visiting lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania, he taught the courses "Images of Asian Americans in the Media" and "Contemporary American Teen Films".

In 2009, he quit his regular gig on "House" to go to the White House, where he spent a year as the Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement for President Obama.



Possible Show Title: Penn's the perfect host for a TV show that would cover the ever-intersecting world of politics and pop culture/Hollywood ... "A Harold & Kumar Political World"?

Maybe not. How 'bout the simple, but alliterative, "Penn on Politics"?
