Kal Penn Approves This Message answers the questions we have about the future of our country
I am always happy to support fellow Bruin alum and co-star of one of my all-time favorite movies, Kal Penn in any of his shows. Personally I felt Sunnyside deserved another season, but the show is too diverse and a little too real for some people. Anyway, Kal Penn Approves This Message is an election-themed series coming to Freeform Tuesday, September 22, at 10:30pm ET/PT. It’s a 6-episode series that will conclude with a 1-hour season finale Tuesday, October 27th.
The series is a smart and irreverent unscripted comedy series that delves into issues relevant to Millenial and Gen Z voters. Each episode will have comedic field pieces and a sit-down interview with Kal Penn and a featured guest. The topics range from voting basics to voter empowerment and the economy to climate change. The Kal Penn hostes series aims to break down key issues young voters care about and give them the tools and information they need to make an impact on the vote.

The best way to describe Kevin Fenix is the kid you never tell what the buttons do in video games so you have a chance to win. Being 6’ 4” and Asian, he never really fit in, so he got comfortable standing out. Not only is it easy to find him in crowds, he dabbles in the culinary arts, does a little stand up and improv, and can honestly say Spider-Man is the Jesus-like influence of his life. Kevin Fenix loves dogs, movies, television, comics, comedy, and to shoot people… with video. Fenix will be shooting and making videos here at FanboyNation.
