“With the brain the size of a walnut” lmaooo he went to Cambridge didn’t he? Such a humble and a sweet man honestly. Love Hugh Laurie!

[@rrbaggett7]

I thought about Cambridge as well when he made that comment. He is lovely & modest, as is Stephen.

[@eclaire_x88x]

Yer hes both very modest and very intelligent! Tom Hiddleston has talked about how insanely intelligent he is

[@emilyseal3207]

He's the sexiest man alive

[@WhiteKnight37]

Pretty big walnut

[@TabithaMalone]

Yes, definitely Cambridge

[@carolking6355]

Can’t give Hugh enough thanks for the hours of entertainment he has given me.

Carole King is another of my favorites.

Facts

[@chrisberry9017]

Hugh’s remark regarding his relationship with Stephen Fry really touched home. So often we don’t know the value of what we have until it is no longer available. Bless you both for valuing your friendship in its own time!

[@stephenbarrette610]

Simply one of the loveliest, modest and witty man ever. His partnership with Stephen Fry was just fantastic, his novel was fantastic and House was one of the best shows ever.

[@TheLitehart1]

He's just so damn real! Not a pretentious or sanctimonious bone in his body. The world seems a better place for having this beautiful man in it. Wish I'd discovered him years ago.

[@nicolethomson7048]

There's a series called " Fry and Laurie"

[@rrbaggett7]

Did y'all notice Hugh appeared to be limping somewhat during his extended entrance & exit? I recall reading he had difficulty "losing" the limp after the show ended. He even saw a physical therapist to help him "relearn" his normal gait.

[@DoubleBread]

Yeah, he actually struggled with his leg after House as the limp became real

[@TabithaMalone]

I heard his knees got screwed from the limp and he needed surgery

[@irrelevant_noob]

@rrbaggett7 also you might want to consider that this was between the 4th and 5th season, so he'd have no reason to even TRY to lose the limp... ^^

[@jameshorscroft1218]

Weird that he jokes about having Fry as House's version of Mycroft, when just years later Stephen would actually play Mycroft in the Downey Jr movies

[@GrandHighGamer]

Just the one, otherwise the comment wouldn't have made much sense (since he'd have already filmed it when this aired)

[@user-gn3ls2tw2u]

Watching House as a teen has definitely affected my career choice of a scientist (not yet, but will be one!) and I felt thrilled and exhilarated to hear Hugh Laurie say that he has got respect or even reverence for people who pursue those things. Now I know I’m not quitting easily. Thank you Hugh Laurie. Love you.

[@user-gn3ls2tw2u]

@8:23

[@SnuffIt]

He’s so calm, humble, and enlightened…my god I could hear him talk for hours without getting bored. He’s such an inspiration to me, I wish someday I could have someone like him in my life.

[@feefee10ish]

God, he’s handsome. That beard.❤️

[@lema4198]

Yes!!!

[@GRDwashere]

This is weird. I've only ever seen Hugh Laurie as House and that's how I know him. Watching this I'm struggling to believe this is really Hugh Laurie instead of house pretending to be Hugh Laurie.... So weird!

[@DoubleBread]

Look him up as a comedian, you'd be surprised

[@GRDwashere]

@@DoubleBread i did, he's awesomely talented!

[@christelheadington1136]

He seems to be losing his British accent.

[@DoubleBread]

@@christelheadington1136 haha, I think he once said that himself

[@fleageful]

haha. I'm the opposite. I only ever saw him in Blackadder and other comedy shows with Stephen Fry et al. When I saw him as House with a fake american accent, it was weird. A talented man.

[@TheMischievousbull]

I keep forgetting how funny Hugh Laurie is, I don't know why.

[@MapleMeHoney]

House is something I can watch again and again - House reruns for life!

[@yt-sh]

He is an introvert Makes me think his out of body experience is normal and he did that so as to remove monotonous work He doesnt actually care about his 50th birthday This guy gives me existential crisis I miss House/Hugh

[@falcon5467]

Bertie Wooster and Greg House - Hugh Laurie has covered the spectrum ends of character portrayals. So talented.

[@lema4198]

I just love Hugh Laurie & Steven Fry’s friendship !

[@tracycrawford6826]

Even just doing an American accent for hours on end is amazing. I had no idea he was not home grown American.

[@katiaiovine]

Bello assai ❤

[@EdjeBos]

I love the fact that he comes from a comedy background, even silly humor, like mr. Nippl_e. And now he's famous for playing a character that only smiles at christmas.. He's brilliant both ways anywho..

[@csgollum]

Stephen Fry as Geoffrey House, Greg's older brother... that sure would have been something!

[@bananai5563]

I love Hugh Lauire and his close relationship with Stephen Fry!

[@user-yp4bd3ux6l]

English is not my native language I almost learned them all on youtube and drama. And House MD helped me so much in the medical stuff. Grateful.

[@eclaire_x88x]

The full beard is a good look!

[@stephr7637]

I wish more people were signed up to the Shh network

[@hollyb6885]

OMG. Stephen Fry on House would have been such a treat.

[@Wistbacka]

I watched house for the first time this April-May, 2021. I have not been so hooked to a TV series in a long while. On one hand I regret bot watching it when it aired, but at the same time I was so young then that I doubt I would have been able to appreciate it. Now after master's degree in biology and biotech whilst being wiser in general, both the medical and life-lessons make a lot more sense than it would have back then.

[@mhamedbenouissa2778]

Funny, Stephan Fry played Sherlock's brother

[@Eorzat]

Yeah, it's actually funny how Stephen literally played Mycroft, so they could've totally done something similar with House.

[@JSykes]

Filmed a whole decade ago.

[@irrelevant_noob]

Quite sure it also AIRED a whole decade ago. ;-)

[@southernwanderer7912]

I've never seen "House" but I sure love Hugh Laurie in every other show he's done in the past, including his piano playing and singing.

[@georgexanthopoulos3003]

Not having seen House should be considered a crime. WATCH IT. Started watching a couple months go and I am totally hooked, right now I'm in Season 7 :D I can definitely say that House is my favorite tv-show character along witn Rust Cohle and Jean-Luc Picard.

[@livb6945]

@@georgexanthopoulos3003 so you were a criminal for over a decade? 🤔

[@georgexanthopoulos3003]

@@livb6945 Yes! Yes! I confess 😓

[@wilsonm.d6923]

Is that the little piano and stool he's sitting on for his album cover of 'Didn't It Rain'?

[@EXG21]

I believe it is. I saw this episode and quickly connected it to the album cover also.

[@Revster]

Ahhhhh I wanna see Hugh and Frye on house doing that idea

[@pegasusted2504]

I'm curious whether the time he turned up with a black eye and bust lip was written into the episode where Chase smacks him. He had the eye and lip in that one.

[@livb6945]

Is that the piano on his cd cover??

[@DoubleBread]

omg!! I didn't think of that! It's possible...

[@xiphocostal]

I was about to say the same!

[@Charl_Ed]

I love house and know/adore a bit of fry and Laurie but I was 5 years of age when this was aired 😂😂

[@eun-solkim7080]

Damn... would've loved to have seen a Mycroft House. Edit: And even better if it had been Stephen Fry!

I'd sacrifice a thousand virgins for that

[@wanik4]

I wish he could have just remained in character for the rest of his life.

Which character though? He has done so many!! Bertie Wooster, for example... 😊 But I suppose you are American and mean House?

Only ever seeing Hugh Laurie play Greg House, the cognitive dissonance when hearing him speak naturally is real

[@maureensullivan7448]

Thank you, your highness, your highness!

[@teenamillar7013]

Before I began watching the house shows, I though,genuinely, that I'd hate it,because I get really uncomfortable about health issues even when it's not truly happening in reality, but! I began quickly to love the shows, I believe it is becoming something of an addiction! For the reason I think,that the actors are hilarious, thank you for this video!!!

………my eyes have been opened. Thank you.

[@CJ-ft9yo]

And Wilson is Watson - the shooter was loosely based on Moriarty

[@PaulRoneClarke]

House MD is bloody great. It's not super deep or written genius. But it blends drama, soap and a bit of comedy really well.

[@PhascolarctosVU]

Are you kidding? It has moments of super deep as well as high hilarity. Sometimes in subsequent minutes.

[@PaulRoneClarke]

@@PhascolarctosVU Well, I suppose those are subjective views of mine. But I was never awed by a concept I hadn't seen a few times before. It was funny more often than not though. Lost a bit for me when his original cadre of apprentices all moved off and were replaced. I could never really get on board with the "new team" he got after a few seasons. Though the selection process for them was funny.

[@Revster]

Also isn't that the piano from his 2nd album?

[@robertcook4159]

I just watched 4 seasons of House. It's weird hearing his actual accent

[@georgexanthopoulos3003]

You got 4 more!!!

Hughs american accent is perfect. The most perfect american accent by a foreigner that ive seen.
