Plus, he hobnobs with celebrities and reality stars. Happy birthday, Mr. President! We’re laughing with you, never at you. More »

Kal Penn Leaves His White House Job to Play Robin’s Therapist on ‘How I Met Your Mother’

Kal Penn Leaves His White House Job to Play Robin's Therapist on 'How I Met Your Mother'

Two years ago, Kal Penn abruptly left his regular role on House to work for President Obama in the White House. We’re talking really abrupt — the only way the producers could permanently get rid of his character Kutner was to make the doctor commit suicide even though he’d exhibited no signs of depression.

You Won't See Photos of Osama bin Laden's Body Because Obama's Afraid We'll Be Jerks and Photoshop It

But it turns out that that isn’t even President Obama‘s biggest worry: He won’t release the photos for fear that normal people will Photoshop offensive jokes or turn it into a meme.
