Apparently Kal Penn's contract expired, and he does NOT FUCK AROUND.

I was figuring something like that had occurred.

[graethorne.livejournal.com]

Oy.

[dreamshade.livejournal.com]

And you know he's going to work for the Obama administration now, right? (Or something close to it, anyway.)

[autobotsrollout.livejournal.com]

Not "something close." He's working for the administration directly.

[dreamshade.livejournal.com]

Yeah, couldn't remember exactly, only that I'd heard it earlier.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Associate Director of the Office Of Public Liason, in fact.

Which I didn't know until you said that and I looked it up.

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

As in Kal Penn the actor? That sounds intriguing.

(Also, I have a feeling that you spoiled me massively for this season of House, but since I have been making no effort to catch up, I cannot really complain.)

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Yes, Kal Penn the actor.

And no, dammit, "Kal Penn has a new job and so his role on House has ended in a way I found interesting" is NOT a fucking spoiler, especially not when I don't even mention the name of the show in the post.

I cried like a fucking baby.

Hm? What did I miss?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

You should watch House.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

No one should watch House.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

House is awesome.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

House is not awesome.

Dude...SPOILER ALERT next time!!!!!!!!!

I'm like 3 eps behind.

FUCK.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

It's not a spoiler when I don't say what show or what happened, beyond the *public news, available on CNN* that Kal Penn has a new job and has ended his time on TV for now.

[the-colombian.livejournal.com]

Dude, Kal Penn is currently ONLY in one TV show whose contract could have expired.

Now, if you had posted something like "Kal Penn to start new job as Asian-American Liason"...that would have worked.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

#1: I didn't know that.
#2: "Kal Penn is ending his role on House in a way I think is GREAT TV" is still not a spoiler.

[the-colombian.livejournal.com]

Actually, you had no idea that a press release STATING that a character would die had been issued a month or so before it actually happened. I hereby retract my anger:-)

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

... yeah, I could see that as being a spoiler.

[almostwitty]

Or alternatively, he wanted to quit to join the Obama Squad.

Bad move, if you ask me but then I'm not him.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

"His contract has apparently ended".

[atlasimpure.livejournal.com]

He's been involved with the administration for the last two years and apparently has always wanted to be involved in public service. Acting just broke his way first.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

He's a good actor. I quite like him.

So, really, I'm hoping he either gets out of politics or gets elected President. I like watching Kal Penn.

[atlasimpure.livejournal.com]

Maybe they'll let him pinch-hit Geitner's PR duties.
