House Kutner Scoop!



DEFCON 1 spoiler alert! If you haven't seen last night's House, stop reading now. Everyone else, onward and downward!

Here are the six things you need to know up-front about last night's House:

• Yes, Kutner was the subject of my "suicide" blind item.

• No, his death wasn't a figment of House's Vicodin-impaired imagination.

• Yes, Kal Penn has left the show for good.
• No, he wasn't fired. He asked to go. (And man, wait 'till you find out where he's going.)

• Yes, this was the "cataclysmic" event that Hugh Laurie has been teasing all year.

• Yes, the trio at the center of this grim turn of events -- exec producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs, as well Kal Penn himself -- spoke to me exclusively about the surprising story behind Penn's exit, the decision to have the seemingly well-adjusted Kutner take his own life, and whether the tragedy will drive House-Cuddy and Cameron-Chase closer together or further apart...
