Kal Penn joins 'House' as series regular

Kal Penn is awesome. I am so happy that the show started following sterotypes and put in an Indian doctor. They should so keep Kal Penn and make him a regular central player.

Give it up to the writers and the characters chosen, brings us to the next level

Everybody give a comment after the show, Kal for you great writing and great acting, if giving the oppertunity can't spell, will and should get the Chance to be! Can't wait for this! Mind makes matter things make beliefs!

Wilson and Chase out! Forman can and could be written to fill the vibe, Wilson only so much! Penn Brings something different give the kid something more then a chase of knowlege and I realy can't stand Blonde's character she needs money and will be good for at least a bit of knowledge and uncertenty. Can't spell, but think old cast should stay, but need some kind of more twisting of the cast. No Need for most of them! Till the day we give to the day we watch will fulfill most of our expectations.

Kal Penn works, cause we need everyone else the rest of the cast was to fill the original not to say they were a great cast, but I say give Kal Penn a chance give the Blonde crazy money girl a chance, this is like ER, but why not give a spin on the original! Omar gives a friend, cut Wilson! too much drama not enough action! Speaking from watching black dude out omar in. Kal penn and Blonde in, OC out! House needs this, Older dude out he can't handle it. Not knowing much of the acters and ratings, give these two a chance and bring back the two with an extra on the side... Chace/Wilson..

Wait, how can Kal Penn be a fake Upenn professor and a fake doctor at the same time?

Congratulations to Kal Penn! He was very funny. Please, no Olivia Wilde. If you're looking for a love interest for House, she wasn't in the room of 40.

Awesome!! A tremendously underrated actor and terrific comic actor, Penn stole what is already one of if not the best show on TV last nite, and everyone is better off with him being on each and every week. Kudos both to Penn and to Fox.

Jen Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 01:01 PM EST

SWEEEEEEEEET! I love him. We need more DESI's on tv.

Christina Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 12:16 PM EST

That's kinda a relief. Kal Penn is one of the only candidates I liked. Please, no Olivia Wilde or Anne Dudek. The Mormon was okay, so was Peter Jacobson. I didn't really care one way or another about them. I hope they don't add many more because that'll take screentime away from the original cast. We need more Wilson! Bottom line. Kal's character was pretty awesome. I love his switching numbers, and I can sense some comedy from him in future episodes.

Jeff Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 12:15 PM EST

Actually Cristina, that original announcement was just for being part of the new crop "auditioning" for House's team. Most of those characters will be gone soon, but this announcement is that he'll get the job and be part of the regular team...

dark_tyler Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 11:57 AM EST

Way to spoil the story. I hope they don't announce Olivia Wilde as a regular, like, tomorrow. Sheesh.

Cristina J Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 11:48 AM EST

Umm... wasn't this announced like two months ago?? Or maybe it's just become "official." But I swear it was on this very site (my favorite site) that they announced Kal would be one of the new ducklins. Old news!!

Joe C Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 11:27 AM EST

Kal Penn did a great job last night. I am looking forward to him being one of the 'Big 3'; he's better than Chase, Cameron, or Foreman.

Rose Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 09:53 AM EST

pbnj - yes, he said he was still fired. But then he suggested getting the patient drunk before he left the room and House changed his mind.

pbnj Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 09:27 AM EST

I must have missed when House let him stay. I remember the "i'm 9 not 6" bit but I thought House still said he was fired.

Anna Wed, Oct 3, 2007 at 09:24 AM EST

How happy am I? I love Kal Penn and when I saw him on the show yesterday I thought it would be too good to be true for him to be a regular!
