If my parents were called Karamchand and Niki Baidwan and I had to call myself Lawrence Kutner, I’d suddenly kill myself too.

I guess a lot of people switched over to watch since the NCAA final sucked so much

Awww c’mon the Heels deserved to win. So it was a good game, not a nailbiter like the House perhaps

That was an actual scene in the show. I guess History or general knowledge isn’t the House writers’ strongest suit. I guess actually watching things before commenting on them and actually understanding other people’s comments isn’t Alan’s strongest suit. When SkepMod wrote “Actual factchecking and accuracy is for historians,” the point was that the writers of the show didn’t check for accuracy. SkepMod obviously knows what’s what.

Desi riksha: Kal penn is a one trick pony...Kal penn has been unable to translate his kumar success into other comedic roles....He has decided to shift into politics while he still has name recognition.

Next stop Med school! A la Gawande. These political jobs are not forever.

I notice nobody bit my bait here;

16 Â· Sepiaaahhh on April 7, 2009 01:30 PM Â· Direct link Is Kal Penn considered good looking? Is he Gujarati? I thought he was OK looking in Namesake, but nothing to write home about. I wonder if women in India would find him attractive? I often say that we in the West are more lenient on looks, that DBDs have higher standards (and no, not talking about the fair skin obsession either, but features).

My psycho-sociological perspective on this has to do with gender. We all know, from past experience, that if Penn were female, the very first comment on this thread would have been about her looks and many of the proceeding comments would have developed the them further. Interesting.

Kal penn is a one trick pony. The twenty something defiance of authority Kumar persona does not work for a thirty something actor, just ask Eddie Murphy. Kal penn has been unable to translate his kumar success into other comedic roles. His attempt at a dramatic performace in the namesake was a calamity. He has decided to shift into politics while he still has name recognition.

Alan, SkepMod’s comment is funny–it goes to how in the US all things vaguely South Asian/Middle Eastern get muddled together, especially in movies and television.
