Stop Boring Hugh Laurie

As an American, I would like to point out that I do not watch House (watched the first season, then lost interest) but Instead appreciate Mr Laurie from things he has done in Britain, using his real accent. Some of my favorite (favourite) shows are Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster, and A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I find it rather depressing that I seem to be the only one of my countrymen who can fathom that a British actor actually had a whole career IN THE UK before coming over here!

Lo

BLACKADDER! BLACKADDER!

@savvysearch Take Lucy Punch for example. She performed so well in "Bad Teacher" I was shocked to find out she is British and when I heard her speak with British accent at a press conference.

A lot of actors can do great american accents. It's not like Laurie's is the greatest anyone's ever done. The focus is just bizarre.

Talk show host: So, you are British aren't you? Hugh: Yes, I am Next Interview Talk show host: So, you are British aren't you? Hugh: Yes, I am If I was an actor, I would NOT go on talk shows in the US for this reason. II think I should end up telling the presenter to change the record, or just fuck off. I mean I think most people know he is from England, and if they don't, I don't know where they have been living for the last 5 years.

He is a very famous actor in England. It's so bothersome thats all anyone EVER wants to talk about is his American accent in House.

@KarioDudeRBN Isn't Fortysomething great? One of the overlooked shows Hugh is in. And A Bit is fantastic! Wish I could watch em for the first time again!

@Orlabobz that's what I've been doing lately. Watched all 6 episodes of Fortysomething and I'm starting on A Bit of Fry and Laurie today.

The real problem is that they do this with everyone. Every single guest on every show gets the same damn questions over and over again. It's especially annoying with people like Hugh Laurie and Michael C Hall. They are clever, interesting, talented people that just get asked the same crap over and over.

Here's a better question. Why hasn't Stephen Fry been a guest star in an episode of House yet?

I do agree, he is a complex and brilliant man who has done so much other than House, but to be fair, the majority of American fans don't care about a bit of fry and laurie or blackadder or jeeves and wooster. Therefore they keep the questions well boring. And aswel, Hugh gets paid a lot for these tv appearances. I think it is up to us to simply go and discover Hugh ourselves....

Believe it or not, British television doesn't play big in America (there's always the "cult" following). Most, if not all, Americans had no idea Hugh Laurie existed before House. Probably has something to do with the Declaration of Independence, I'm guessing. =0} Although it is interesting to go back watch his past works.

he is so very interesting i've loved him a long long time..those hosts are such Idiots.& oh yes!! Wooster!! i'm in love with Gregory House, which ScaRes Me, but hugh laurie is hugh laurie.,& i'm sooooooooo glad he comes in my house all the time. stop boring hugh laurie.

Lol

Jeeves and Wooster people, thats all that has to be said. Hugh Laurie is way more than just House, which he's in my opinion better than Sheen was on two and a half men at it's prime. He continue's to hold shows and series' alike together with great ratings and great acting.

And Mr. Laurie probably takes it as a huge compliment that people are surprised that he's from the UK. I myself was floored because his American accent is perfect. He's not like Jude Law or Kate Winslet, whose American accents aren't too convincing.

Hugh Laurie knows that he's going to be asked the same questions over and over again, and the hosts already know all the answers to these questions. I'm sure they rehearse this before they actually record the interview. Celebrities need to be asked the same questions over and over again because not everyone's going to watch the same talk show on the same night. Information about these celebrities has to be spread throughout different talk shows.

I'm pretty sure that if he watch this video he would take the first plane to England and he will never come back lol

why didnt they just make him english on house?

What they're really asking is "but... don't you want to be like us?"

Would be fun if he would change it up on them. English? No I am born and bread Texan :D, or My farther a doctor? god no, he was a butcher :)

well Your little princess is here to please you

Is he not american?! Just kidding ;)

First of all talk shows these days are used by actors to promote their work so it is symbiotic. But you forgot to include a clip of Ellen in which Hugh skillfully played the piano and was quite comical while doing so. I also would like to say that British talk shows are probably quite the same as ours in their banality. And I think it's in poor taste to insult Americans with your comments. House has been very good to Laurie and his family who now enjoy the financial benefits it afforded him.
