I love coming across British interviews with Hugh Laurie, he has such a nervous and yet charming way about him. Thanks very much for posting this.

Hugh Laurie does seem to be a full-time comedian. I'm sure he's not quite as amusing to live with on a daily basis, no one is, but he's genuinely amusing and witty without effort.

8:25 "I was going to say seven" is ripped straight from A Bit of Fry and Laurie. Classic.

William Perkins So was the bit about quantity surveying

[@samuelrobinson205]

I was going to comment the same thing as Samuel but I see I’ve already beaten myself to it

[@nicolarose8026]

Hugh's humor simply has NOT changed even slightly. Every interview i have seen, recent, about House, his movies and in the past, he has always managed to be witty, quick and just an around alright bloke. He honestly comes across as a really nice guy.

Thankyou for sharing this, Hugh's interviews are always so enjoyable to watch, always makes me laugh !

[@brianbozo2447]

Really nice of Clive to invite questions from the audience. Could become a whole new interview format in chat shows.

That part of his show was a new feature he brought to it when he moved his chat show from Channel 4 to the BBC.

A comedy genius interviewed by another one. That’s comedy gold! Love how those witty jokes just breezed through the entire time.

[@HouSenderella]

Thanks for sharing! never seen this interview! Hugh's wonderful! though when he had a beard, I loved him more *kidding*

[@eclaire_x88x]

He does suit a beard

[@chocchipfox]

101 dalmations was the first film i saw hugh in! And i didn't even know who he was!

[@GlytcheD]

chocchipfox Same!

[@remediosreboja1837]

Me too but he was funny including that part when they were trying to scape but got caught. He is a natural comedian.😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆

[@50Pooja]

mr. weasley!!

[@boneappletea3858]

He turns up. I think that's a shot at Stephen Fry cuz he had a nervous breakdown and ran away from one of his plays.

[@recourseconsulting5064]

what a perfect combination of intelligence and humour - Clive and Hugh

[@boneappletea3858]

Oh snap lmao. I totally forgot about that. Talk about paying ur dues.

[@Vadamur]

He looked a little bit like Kris Marshall (in Love Actually etc) back then :D

[@boneappletea3858]

2:06 that look says my career no longer fulfills me cuz I've hit a glass ceiling regulating me to stupid caricature type casting but it pays the bills. I'm gonna go home and try not killing myself.

[@soeffingwhat]

Clive says "ever improving acting career"...little did they know just how it'd improve 8 years later.
