Kal Penn disappeared from the cast of House the other night. Now we all know why.

To the left we can see our jolly President embracing Penn in a rather fancy man-hug. For those unfamiliar with fine acting, Kal Penn is known for making high-class films like the “Harold and Kumar” flicks, as well as his role of Kutner on the superb TV medical dramedy “House.” Not anymore.

Monday night, the cast members of House went to Kutner’s house (ha!) to find him dead in a puddle of his blood thanks to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the temple. It came entirely out of nowhere and was completely against Kutner’s character, a suddenness that the clever writers used as the basis for the episode (why oh why would he do it!? WHYYYY?). The real reason it came so quickly is because of Kal Penn’s sudden new employment – “connecting Obama with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, as well as arts groups.” (SFGate)

Well, that’s pretty random, eh? Good for him, though. He’s got a great job for a great guy, and the writers of House now have fodder for a mystery uncovering the reasons behind Kutner’s quick and random suicide.

PS – that picture seems like it’s really asking for someone to Photoshop in some thought bubbles.
