    Larry King: You did comedy, I'm told

    Hugh Laurie: *realises most people don't even know he's British*

    A great interview with two amazing people. Hugh and Stephen Fry back in the 1980’s were brilliant.

And of course most American viewers didn’t know he was English, his accent was that good, which he kept up during the entire day. A bit like David Tennant with the doctor.

      I have never binge watched anything and really looked down on nine watching all together. This is the first TV series I did get tempted to binge watch on the go so to say.
      I am now after finishing watching every single episode ( and yes, it made me think and laugh out loud. The friendships that developed warmed my heart. I loved the musical appearances and the amazing linguistic skills that House has. All the things I love I found. Also things that I don't love were there but it showed the fallout of these, instead of glorifying them.

      Larry King often didn't know who his guests really were. I remember at the very height of Seinfeld series popularity he had Jerry on his show and had no idea who he even was to the point that Jerry actually asked him if he knew he was and if he was familiar with the show, which was the no1 rated TV show for 9 seasons.. How Larry ever got that job I'll never know in a million years. He was so bad at it, it was laughable. No personality, looks, or charisma of any kind either. It was amazing he was kept on for that long.

    I do find the American standard interview method of question, question, question, quick we’ve only got 8 minutes (even when you have 20) a bit tiring. This was especially painful as Larry King just seemed to have bullet points and he was sticking to them no matter what.
    It’s why UA-cam long form chats are so much more satisfying.

    Still it is quite a technique to have a conversation with someone who you only know a little about.
