G.W.W.E.: Kal “Presidential Pecker” Penn

We’re back with another edition of G.W.W.E. (Guys We Wanna Eff)! This week, kick back and relax with a big cup of Kal Penn.
Not many men can put a gun to their heads one day and accept a highly prestigious federal job the next, but leave it to Kal Penn to pull it off. Earlier this week, the scrumptious House star had fans in a tizzy when they tuned in to discover his character, Dr. Lawrence Kutner, had committed suicide. Turns out, Penn had his character on the popular show killed off so that he could accept a job as President Obama’s Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison! With the economy being what it is, for anyone to make a career leap at this time is impressive, but the (literally) show-stopping switch by Kal is infinitely effable.
Who would have ever thought the guy-next-door cutie we saw in National Lampoon’s Van Wilder or Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle would one day be swapping notes with the President? Turns out he’s been stacking his resume not only with starring roles but academic and political scores, as well. Having attended UCLA for college, Kal has served as guest lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania and as a surrogate during Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. What a catch!
This week, there’s only one man on my mind, and that’s Kal Penn. Not only is his career move from acting to public service inspirational, he’s certainly shocked us all. Who knows what kind of wildcard stunts he’ll pull in the bedroom? Kal, if you’re looking for a congratulatory eff, you can park it right here.

I'm so glad you featured Kal Penn! Not only was he my favorite character on House, but he's a a talented and intelligent guy. Even though I was so upset to see him go and cried all the way through last week's episode, it did make it a little bit better that he's stepping up into such an important role.
Way to go CC! You guys get better every week!

I started loving him when I saw THE NAMESAKE and read an interview that he's not actually a brain dead puffer like Kumar…<3 him
