kumar's class at u. penn
Remember all that hoopla last year when it was announced that actor Kal Penn would be teaching a class at the Unviersity of Pennsylvania? Well, class is in session, and Kumar's got your syllabus right here. For this semester only, Kal Penn is an adjunct professor in the Asian American Studies Department, teaching ASAM 109: Asian Americans in the Media: Prof. Kumar calls class into session

How cool is that? In addition to all the usual assigned reading, I imagine he'll be teaching a great deal from his own experience as an actor of color in Hollywood. He'll also be bringing in guest speakers like Margaret Cho, studio executives, and writer/director Jon Hurwitz, one of the guys behind Harold and Kumar. My only question is, will John Cho be invited too? You know those kids want to see a White Castle reunion.
