Penn: Probably true, actually, yeah.
Do you guys take personal credit for the resurrection of Neil Patrick Harris' career?
Cho: Do we take credit, did she say?
Penn: Yeah, I wanna take credit for it right now. No, I think Neil has talked about how (writers) Jon (Hurwitz) and Hayden's (Schlossberg) script and playing the part has opened up some other opportunities for him. What do you think, Cho?
Cho: Yeah, I think he's been open about that. I think that Harold & Kumar, the first movie, allowed people to see him in a different light, and I believe he has said, "I don't think I'd be on 'How I Met Your Mother' without Harold & Kumar."
Will we see any future Harold & Kumar spin-offs or sequels, or is that unknown at this point?
Cho: Unknown, I think, and I think it would depend on how people react to this one. Really it just depends on whether people vote with their dollars for this movie, just like the first one.
Penn: Yeah, I would second that. The reason we have a sequel now is because of the support from fans on the DVD. But we're also four years older, so if you want to see a third movie would you please go see it opening weekend, then we can make it next year instead of four years from now when we will be considerably older.
Cho: My body is declining at an incredible rate.
