It’s been exactly three months since “House” duckling Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn) committed suicide in a storyline that baffled viewers… until we heard the reason why.

Kal Penn had accepted a position working for the Obama White House.

But when June rolled around and K.P. still hadn’t assumed his D.C. post, rumors swirled that it wasn’t actually happening. However, as White House director of Specialty Media Shin Inouye told The Wrap, the administration was simply waiting for the fan insanity surrounding Kutner’s death to die down.

As promised, Penn is rumored to have reported for his first day on the job — as Associate Director of The White House office of Public Liason… yeah, we don’t know what that means either — this morning.

Best wishes, Kumar!

It’s a very long-standing tradition at the White House to hold an Easter Day Egg Roll on the South Lawn. This year was no exception. But the big difference for House fans this year was that our dear Dr. Kutner, aka Kal Penn was there to help out.

Here are a few photos that were taken of him at the event. He seems to be fitting right in with the new job, doesn’t he?

#38 Kal Penn (House)

He’s that rare breed of hilarious, smart, and hot. Kal Penn not only double majored at UCLA in film and sociology, but he’s gone from frat-boy-funny Kumar to Dr. Lawrence Kutner on House with ease.
