Harold and Kumar would not be Harold and Kumar without Kumar.
So while it seemed inevitable, it was Kal Penn who needed to return to make A Very Special Harold and Kumar Christmas a reality.
Penn left Hollywood to take a post in President Barack Obama’s administration as associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement – leaving his involvement in the upcoming sequel highly questionable. Now it seems he’ll return along with John Cho.
I love this series for its utter silliness and I am happy to see Kumar back in the saddle, hoping that saddle might be on the back of Neil Patrick Harris.
Cho joked in an interview that he gets 80% of NPH’s salary for anything he does now because Harold and Kumar are responsible for his resurgance in popularity.
