Kunal Nayyar will be appearing on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson tonight (well Friday morning) at 12:37 a.m. on CBS!

I will post a video as soon as one becomes available online!

The New York Post has a new interview with Kunal Nayyar who plays the lovable Raj on The Big Bang Theory. See some answers below and the rest at the link.

Why does Raj always wear so many layers? -Haverly
Kunal Nayyar: I think the discussion that happened with the costume designer is that because he’s in a new country and because he’s a genius at such a young age, the layers act as protection. It’s like a shield for him. I also bet Raj thinks it looks good.

Will he ever get up the courage to talk to a woman? – PopWrap
Kunal: I doubt it. I think they’ll try lots of experimental drugs, so like in season eight he’ll be a junkie! [laughs] But no, I don’t think we’ll ever see him get over it, which I always wondered about in the beginning. “How will we continue to do this,” but the writers are amazing.

Do you think Raj and Howard are the 2010 Bert and Ernie? – Vlad
Kunal: There’s definitely a bromance there. That’s what is so lovely about this season you’re seeing that they can’t live without each other. In the next few episodes you’ll really see how dependent Leonard is on Sheldon and Penny. But I think Raj and Howard are endearing. I also love that Raj is becoming more needy and effeminate, like the wife in their relationship.

Co-creator Chuck Lorre said that Sheldon doesn’t qualify as gay or straight — what about Raj, does he want a girlfriend? – Linda
Kunal: I think with Sheldon, that’s obviously the case — he lives in a very specific world. As they all do, but unlike Sheldon, the guys are horny as hell! Like any single man. All Raj wants to do is pick up girls. Howard too. And you see that Leonard just wants to be with Penny. Despite growing up in labs, these guys are still driven by their lions — but it’s just difficult to carry off.

What kind of girl would Raj be able to date? – Jackie
Kunal: I thought about dating a deaf women — but that’s a hard joke to pull off sensitively. I don’t know if he’ll actually ever find love. Plus, I wonder, what’s funnier than seeing these guys fail? That’s the essence of comedy. I think they’ll succeed at being friends, but not with women.
