Best question of the bunch "how do you cope with this relentless diet of success?"and best reaction and answer to a question. Truly a great dude is Hugh Laurie.

Aw I love how he mentions Bertie.

He looks so different without a beard.. of course Im so used to him being in "House" with his facial hair :) but he still looks cute! I would love to meet him but one can only dream :)

Why are people stuck on Hugh singing Blues Music. The same was said about Eric Clapton etc... British Rock/Blues that they had no right to sing the blues. Like it or not, these musicians brought Black Blues Artists in the forefront when the genre was abandoned by most in the U.S.

[@granthurlburt4062]

Because some people enjoy affecting to be offended, especially on behalf of other groups. It makes them feel like they are social justice crusaders and benefitting society wo. effort. I suspect that soon "Taking Offense" will be available as a minor in university

Are they? I love his music, and I don't know anyone, nor have I seen any who said "he doesn't have the right..."?? I have lots of friends and have seen a lot of interviews where his musical prowess is valued highly and the comments on those videos agree. I have seen a lot of interviews, and I have spoken about Hugh's musical abilities. Not a single time have I seen or heard someone comment with "he is not allowed because of his skin color"... ... until I read your comment...

Good interview

[@andybacon6748]

Always sits with one foot resting on another. Anyone else notice that?

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

I don't think so, mainly because he doesn't 😁. You can go to other interviews with him here on KZbin and comment on how he always "crosses his legs", "have feet together", etc. Just pick one position, and it always is "not always"😁

[@EA-vd4gd]

I've noticed that too, it's his "go to" sitting position when comfortable. I think it may have something to do with being tall?

[@andybacon6748]

@@EA-vd4gd I do it often and I'm not tall. I'm sure it's a comfort thing

I dont think UK TV has anything to learn from American TV. (God help us!). Nothing on US TV would ever achieve the subtle brilliance of The Detectorists or the wide-ranging, well-informed social and personal comment of House. (Not enough shows take on New Age hooey). Few (about 3) US comedy shows over the decades can match British Comedy. Unfortunately US TV is like candy- superficially appealing. I have watched about 8 episodes of House. It is not bad but the diseases people get are always the most hugely unlikely. Then I go back to watching Laurie in PG. Wodehouse. I live in Canada so we get a solid (unhealthy) diet of US TV as soon as we are old enough to stare at a video screen. NOTHING matches the intelligence, humour and knowledge one encounters on HIGNFY. I like Qi and 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown, but it must be something about the widely self-reported British sexual repression that makes the amount of jokes involving bums and sexual organs so funny. Or maybe its to bring in another demographic. One gets such "humour" from US comedians but it is always from those whose comedy is "broad".

[@granthurlburt4062]

But now that I think of it, it's hard to match the amount of talk about sex and display of breasts one sees in Two and Half Men, the Big Bang Theory, and other shows that I dont watch, or on Seinfeld. Seinfeld is one of the few in the league of the best Brit coms.

Without becoming a telletabi 😂😂😂😂

The only thing I dislike about Hugh Laurie is that he makes crap music. What is this blues! It's crap music is what it is.
