Kal Penn to reunite with Harold & Kumar writers for newsroom comedy series
Because he’s already lined up his return to stoner comedy elsewhere, Deadline reports that Kal Penn is reuniting with Harold & Kumar franchise scribes Hayden Schlossberg and Jon Hurwitz on a newsroom comedy series for ABC. The show, called Fair And Balanced, will see Penn play an aspiring NPR reporter who is lured over to the Dark Side, i.e., a Fox News-like channel. The comedy part will probably come into play when we see just how easily Penn’s character abandons his journalism ethics to crank out such thoughtful commentary as growing wistful for Hitler.
