Kal Penn (Kutner) Leaves ‘House’ for the White House
So I don’t typically touch base on my adoration for the best show currently on tv right now, but “House” is my crack and may or may not have a Hugh Laurie fetish. Moving along….SPOILER ALERT! If you are a “House” fan and haven’t seen last night’s episode STOP here
Last night we were treated to a turn events that has been a brewing rumor all year. The suicide watch had theorized that 13, played by the stunning Olivia Wilde, would be the one to kill herself. Last night that theory was shot to hell. Loveable and underrated Kutner was the one commit suicide.
It’s a permanent loss to the show. Unfortunately it’s not one of House’s bad dreams or a drug induced hallucination. Kal Penn has left the show. Strike that, he has left the acting field completely. He told Ausiello of his departure from film and tv is due to his desire to do something else. His ‘something else’ is working at the White House. No joke kids.
“I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House. I got to know the President and some of the staff during the campaign and had expressed interest in working there, so I’m going to be the associate director in the White House office of public liaison. They do outreach with the American public and with different organizations. They’re basically the front door of the White House. They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House. It’s similar to what I was doing on the campaign.”
Sad to see him go but it was a delicious ending for his character. This is why I adore the show. Coming up on “House”….Cameron and Chase break up and according to Ausiello there is a “twist” after the two split. In previews for future episodes Cuddy confronts Cameron and point blank asks her if she is in love with House.
Ooooo….ahhh! Knowing this show, she and 13 will be having a sexual tryst resulting in a turkey baster baby. Doubtful, but one can only hope.
