Kal Penn on how Zohran Mamdani got him a role in Namesake | Talking with Natasha #30

Natasha sits down with comedian and actor Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar, The Namesake) for a laugh-out-loud and thought-provoking conversation about comedy, culture, and his brand-new podcast “Here We Go Again” from iHeartPodcasts and FilmNation’s SNAFU Media. Kal opens up about how history keeps repeating itself — from pop culture to everyday life — and why he’s bringing those stories to life in a fresh, funny way. He shares behind-the-scenes moments from his comedy career, what inspires his creative process, and gives us the latest on negotiations for a ‘Harold & Kumar 4.’
