Imagine being a Hollywood star and then walking away to go work in… the White House?! You know Kasich & Klepper are gonna fight over who gets to give this week’s guest, Kal Penn, a harder time for making that decision. In this very candid conversation, the actor, writer, producer, and former Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement shares the many challenges he faced trying to break into Hollywood (and then again in Washington) and how he struggled to reveal those stories in his new memoir. They also talk about Obama, why Kal thinks a new “Harold & Kumar” movie would be even funnier and so much more. Kal Penn’s bestselling memoir, “You Can’t Be Serious”, is available now wherever you get your books, e-books, and audiobooks.
