How long before KAL hosts SNL? Maybe he can do SNL Digital shorts with Andy.

State of Bengal...sweet music.

For some of Kal Penn's early work, check out Where's the Party Yaar? Not bad especially for what looks like a locally shot (Houston?) movie.

"Can't imagine why he would not be allowed to hop on a 2 hour flight to NY from LA to attend. Its not like he's filming in Calcutta."

Saira..my guess is he wants to brand himself as mainstream and doesn't want to fall into the trap of being labeled 'arty' in the eyes of producers..Sad in that The Namesake will do more for his credibility (if not bankability) than any of his previous work.

"My guess is, for the mainstream, it will do better than the much recently discussed Water. "

Filmiholic, Water did a little more than 3mil+ at the box office so you're probably right..:)

Hey SemiDesiMasala! That’s absolutely hilarious. You put it so perfecly. One time I met a partial Native American who went off on how “Indian” she was and I said, “Well I’m about 1/64 American, but half Indian. Indians are from India.” I think she was still confused.

This from KP’s blog: “the “The Namesake” will finally hold it’s Premiere this Tuesday evening in New York. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend because i’m still in Louisiana working on the “Harold and Kumar” sequel (i’m not allowed to leave on weekdays since it conflicts with our work schedule).”

Not impressed with an actor who “cannot” leave to attend his premiere. Considering the amount of pre-press buzz, interest in yet another cross-over crisis faced by post-pubescent ABCDs and the fact is this a MIRA NAIR film, Penn disappoints with this. Can’t imagine why he would not be allowed to hop on a 2 hour flight to NY from LA to attend. Its not like he’s filming in Calcutta.
