This Week’s Happenings 11.5-11.13
Seriously Mr. Calendar, how is it already November? You’re forgiven; though I may be a bit biased over November, because it is: my birthday month, the start of cozy holidays, and the beginning of Holiday Happenings.

Rules of Engagement
When: Thursday at 8:30/7:30c
Where: CBS
As actors and actresses of Indian descent continue to make their presence known in Hollywood, there are those who have come to Prime Time as well. Adhir Kalyan of CBS’s Rules of Engagement is one of those actors. Born in 1983 and raised in Durban, South Africa, Kalyan made himself known in the reoccurring role as Timmy in Season 3, and became part of the sitcom’s regular cast during Season 4. Kalyan’s character plays an immigrant from India (by way of South Africa) and Russell (David Spade’s) assistant who is often the reluctant go-to guy for solving Russell’s problems.
You can catch Kaylan on Season 6’s Rules every Thursday 8:30/7:30c.
