Magnum PI

Magnum P.I. L-R: Jay Hernandez, Tim Kang (Karen Neal/CBS)

In the Magnum P.I. episode “The Woman Who Never Died,” Magnum (Jay Hernandez) takes on a case from private eye Luther Gillis (guest star Ken Jeong, Dr. Ken, Community). The client realizes that his comatose fiancée Tara (a victim of a hit and run) has had extensive facial surgery, and now he wants to know who he’s really engaged to. The Honolulu Police Department assigns Detective Gordon Katsumoto to the hit and run case. Magnum sarcastically calls him “a ray of sunshine.”
