I never realized that Kal and Jimmy look like different shades of each other and now I can't unsee it.

Harold and Kumar changed global pop culture and bridged the gap between race and weed...this man is an American icon who deserves free lifetime White Castle and weed plantation.

[@saintsataniko2116]

People sleep on how incredible those movies are. The first one of course is an all time classic, but GITMO and the Christmas Special are also insanely funny! Plus the series completely remade Neil Patrick Harris's career.

[@danielyoungblood8525]

He doesn't smoke. They're just movies. Maybe you should lay off the drugs.

[@romansotelo7240]

Hope they make a 4th Harold and Kumar soon.

[@karenherrera3961]

Maybe you should just chill out instead of being so judgemental.

I'm so happy he feels comfortable to be open about his partner in life finally! Such exciting wonderful news about their upcoming marriage! Maaan! I'd be all over that! Indian weddings are so much fun and are so breathtakingly beautiful!! 🥰❤

I'd be more concerned about the fact that homosexuality in India is still widely looked down upon, especially with the older generations. Hate to say it, there are likely many "aunties" that don't approve of it.

[@edelweiss8168]

Really love Kal Penn. That purple suit is fabulous.❤️

[@babilabub]

So happy for Kal.

[@beepboop4846]

Cardi B officiating this wedding sounds like the twist at the end of the next Harold and Kumar

[@sadunfdo2888]

He did wonderful job in House MD. When he leaves the show writers killed his character.

[@Dearevanhansen223]

They did kinda but it made sense. There was the episode about a season earlier where they discussed suicide and looking back it was obvious that his character struggled. So I think they planned it

[@a2mark57]

I didn't know much about him until I picked up his book upon a recommendation. And... whoa. This man is so impressive in so many ways! I want to be Kal Penn when I grow up.

[@karlay455]

I love Harold and Kumar 🙌🏻 He is such good vibes - I like his sense of humor

[@hayitsj21]

6:40 "..and 9 days of aunties asking her about her lyrics." That's spot on.

[@wayne9706]

I'm glad Kal is happy

[@Smackattackk]

Just blows my mind he came out.. still love the dude I want everyone to be happy but the movies and stuff he just played it off so good prolly because he thought he would be frowned upon and kept it hidden. but he's been with his guy for 11 years now..

[@Goonztz]

He’s been open about his sexuality for years to people he meets in public.

[@devronl08]

I don’t think he knew when he was doing the movies, he said he discovered his sexuality later in life.

[@woodzk2330]

well I mean NPH been doing it for a while sooooo... maybe that's where Kal Penn has picked it up from 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Smackattackk]

@@woodzk2330 maybe when nph stole their car and returned it with love stains it triggered him lol I love both of them very funny dudes

I love him 🤣🤣🤣 he's so handsome and witty. Sarcasm still unmatched. I wish they'd do 1 more Harold and Kumar cause I could totally see it and Cardi should officiate the wedding and I need an invite!!! 🥰❤️😊

Yes yes and YES!!!! 🥰❤ If you need a date for the wedding, I'm down! Lol! Get our curry and dancing on! 💃 lol

[@nanarose8537]

Me: Wake your arse up! Cardi B tweeted she can officiate our wedding! (I say at an awfully ridiculous high decibel level 😂) My honey: Omg!! Don't just stand there screaming! Send my tux to the cleaners!

I super enjoyed Designated Survivor! Especially the first two seasons. A Chief Executive with a moral compass? Such a beautiful and poignant contrast...
