You can, obviously, tell jokes about climate change. It’s just that almost all the humor tends to be of the gallows variety. That’s not what Kal Penn set out to do in Getting Warmer With Kal Penn, the new streaming show that comes out today from Bloomberg Originals.
“The fact that we got a show that’s mostly positive, mostly solutions driven was the coolest thing,” Penn, an actor and former policy aide to President Barack Obama, says. “The reason I love comedy is that it can be aspirational, it can offer solutions, and it can offer a sense of possibility.”
