“It feels like a nice time to be celebrating something like that,” he said, “especially on the heels of the DOMA and Prop 8 decision.”

With 30 Rock off the air, Pancholy is keeping busy with voice work. He plays Sanjay in the animated series Sanjay and Craig and Baljeet in Phineas and Ferb. He is also making the TV movie HR with Alicia Silverstone and Peter Fonda.
