I love how gracious and kind Hugh is in the face of Larry's ignorance. He seemed to enjoy himself immensely, once he realized that Larry knew nothing about him. What a charming, humble and intelligent guy!
I was so taken abak lol. You'd know him from house and now he is shifting that focus to music... I know his first album came out late in house but his acting career was long before it.
Larry King: You did comedy, I'm told Hugh Laurie: *flashes back to his entire decades-long career in Britain, his working relationship with Rowan Atkinson, and his lifelong friendship and multiple projects with Stephen Fry* Hugh Laurie: *realises most people don't even know he's British* Hugh Laurie: Well, yes, I did a bit of comedy here and there, sure
Just a woefully ignorant question and his reaction to Fry's name drop just made it even more upsetting. Why do people consider Larry King a good interviewer?
@@AC3handle Fallon is annoying but at least a bit more informed. As an interviewer, you're required to be a bit more informed than what King showed here.
I could listen to Hugh all day and night; he is so interesting, and like his friend and colleague, Stephen Fry he carries his intelligence so effortlessly
I want Hugh to release another album. Let Them Talk was amazing. I didn’t know I would like Blues so much until I heard his covers from that album. Unchain my Heart was also really good.
Same here! Just now finished the series, watched the “Swan Song” epi,my mouth fell open! I kinda wish I’d never seen it. Usually love an accent but it just doesn’t fit,lol
I love how Hugh really wants to focus on the music, and Larry King keeps on redirecting the convo to House. 😅He looks so attentive and empathic that LK might be having a hard time. What a true pro for sitting through.✨Always one of my favorite people. Cheers.
I assume that this was a style choice by Larry king. I always liked that he didn’t assume that his audience already knew his interviewee and he asked questions from the point of you of the audience.
Love, love, LOVED “House!” Laurie made him so real. Wish the show could’ve gone on forever. I have Fibromyalgia, & when the symptoms are at their worst I tell people I long for a Dr. House to figure it all out.
I am rekindling house-ness by watching all these snippets and shorts - 8 years of UA-cam House MD shorts is like a couple a day, brings a smile your way.
@@Rodness28 Stephen Graham was Al Capone, also in The Irishman. His scouse accent is so broad, Joe Pesci asked him to speak in character so that he could understand him.
That's part of the charm of the interviews, it's like a 'regular' person asking stuff u dont know about. feels very personal, and that's the point. : )
I actually think it would be very interesting to see Bryan Cranston do a similar character to House. I could only IMAGINE if there was some sort of Breaking Bad\House crossover or just getting Hugh Laurie and Bryan Cranston together.
Didn't it rain is an amazing album. Every year in the colder months I put it on when I cook dinner and it makes me feel like everything is going to be okay.
Actually find it embarrassing - Hugh has been around for years and was very much a part of my youth growing up; Fry and Laurie, Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster and so on. Larry King: *oblivious*
So many actors get stuck in between a character and oneself, especially after acting the same character for so many years. It's nice that Hugh Laurie doesn't remind me of house at all, only his face. Great mind..
So true, a true actor. You act the part, become the part while in character, and then cut back to being "you". You're right, so many actors slowly become their characters, it's sad.
Very much enjoyed this interview. Was especially interested in hearing that performing as an actor was putting on a mask, and performing as a musician was exposing the self.
The whole time I was waiting for him to do the house voice because I've watched house for a long time and for most of it I didn't even know he was British
A great interview with two amazing people. Hugh and Stephen Fry back in the 1980’s were brilliant. House was a fantastic show and I never thought about him as a comedian on Blackadder or his standup. 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 just watched the whole series from Dec.2022-feb 2023. I have to say I was very sad with season 8. Makes me want to go back and watch the earlier seasons where everyone was happier. But House has a way of growing on you.
I binged the whole series twice in recent months. Season 8 was definitely different without Cuddy, but I still loved it. House in prison, Foreman taking over as Dean of Medicine, Wilson’s cancer, House doing the chemo at his apartment and faking his death in the finale so he can hang out with Wilson was wonderful.
It’s so annoying to read the comments because even I as an American has seen Laurie in A bit of Frye and Laurie, & Blackadder… I’ve known about his long career for years. How could people not know. I loved him in House but I watched House because I loved Hugh’s other work
Good on you Larry. What a wonderful thing to wake up to and find in my feed. I'm glad to see Hugh hasn't aged a bit and I'm glad to see his love of jazz was more than just an act in House.
I'm an American who never left the country and even I knew about Fry and Laurie...How did Larry become so famous for interviews while being so clueless?
I miss Larry so, so much. By far one of the best... Is it possible for the new generation of hosts to learn that they need to let the guest talk, perhaps let them answer the question they just asked?
exact thing i noticed the moment the video started, dont even think im gonna finish it cause of how painful it is you can just see hughs expression each time hes about to finish answering then immediately gets cut off not to mention the other comments saying how he barely researched to not know the fact hugh laurie started his entire career on comedy since the 80s and only started doing drama with house lmao
HUGH LAURIE... I watched ALL seasons of HOUSE... And FINALLY figured out... YOU WERE A BRIT !!! 😄 I WAS FLABBERGASTED!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Congrats! I can honestly say... YOU GOT ME!!!! 😂 BRAVO!!! Thanx for Everything !!! 😉
I am a musician going on 60 years. It always amuses me watching, for example a Bossa Nova guitarist, suddenly a faraway look in his eyes, and the Blue Note emerges.
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.
Some time ago, 6-7 of my friends told me that I have to watch House M.D. because the main character behaves exactly like me. I started watching the show and I'm getting proud as I'm realizing what a compliment that was.
Someone should tell Hugh Laurie his American accent was nearly flawless. A few times I caught him pronouncing the long E in been, or his rhythm might be a bit off.
Not entirely sure how it is that Larry never happened to see any of A Little Bit of Fry & Laurie, or, for that matter, any of The Black Adder/Blackadder, with Rowan Atkinson. Mind boggling.
Hugh used to be a comedian. He used to be part of a double act with Stephen Fry. They were brilliant. Edit- must watch whole video first. But he didn’t discuss Blackadder, which included Rowan Atkinson (mr bean).
Larry misses all his jokes. Hugh is just brilliant all around. Wow. Asks about how much money? Come on Larry. OK 11:00 minutes in and I cant listen to Larrys questions anymore.
it's funny how Larry king seems to be completely unaware of anything about the people he interviews. how is he interviewing him and he's never even heard of fry and laurie ?
Watched the interview only from respect to Hugh Laurie. Larry King however seems to have done very little work preparing for the interview or reacting to the flow of the conversation
It's so cathartic! One agonizes over House's misanthropy. To have the same tabernacle of flesh utter pleasant, kind, thoughtful, and gracious words heals the wounds inflicted by House upon my soul. :)
In real life he is more like the Bertie Wooster character he played with Fry in Jeeves and Wooster tales written by PGWodehouse from 100 years ago. Laurie even admits this.
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.
I love Hugh. I loved Jonathan Miller too for similar reasons. The best of British intelligent well educated men, who think critically with self deprication and great humour. Makes them irresistible to women. Brains win every time on the attractive monitor for me! Also Hugh has a v sexy voice!😂
"you did comedy, I am told" - the cringe smile of High at that time is everything, considering how amazing and long a career he has had as a comedy performer.
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.
King: So what is he doing now? Laurie: He's playing Malvolio in 12th Night on Broadway. I was almost waiting for King to ask "Is that a British play? Did Fry write it? Still it is quite a technique to have a conversation with someone who you only know a little about.
Some interviewers either will deliberately not researched or subject or act like they have not researched their subject in order to remain on the same knowledge base as most of their audience.
@Montgomery15 Snooker Videos that's certainly at least partly true, but he didn't employ that approach to the blues album. It definitely looked like he had never heard of Fry&Laurie and just had a vague idea that he has had something to do with comedy before (or else why ask about stand up?)

I'm still in mourning that "House" is no longer aired.😢. Was my favorite show ever
I am rekindling house-ness by watching all these snippets and shorts - 8 years of UA-cam House MD shorts is like a couple a day, brings a smile your way.
Hugh Laurie does the best American accent --for years I thought he was a little known American actor who got a lucky break.
Check out Idris Elba
on "The Wire" and the guy who played Al Capone in "Boardwalk Empire".
@@Rodness28 The BIG difference is Hugh Laurie did his accent for over ten series, consistently.

there's not actor that fits his role more than Hugh Laurie fits House
It sounds weird, but somehow that's true 👌
He *is* House.
Its hard to think of two more diverse character roles than Greg House and Bertie Wooster.
I actually think it would be very interesting to see Bryan Cranston do a similar character to House. I could only IMAGINE if there was some sort of Breaking Bad\House crossover or just getting Hugh Laurie and Bryan Cranston together.
James Gandolfini in 'The Sopranos' is at least equal.
Outer Hugh: Well, it wasn’t sudden
Inner Hugh: This man has no idea who I am...
Right?
I'm still in love with Hugh Laurie in 2021! Wishing Larry a speedy recovery from COVID.
Ok, UA-cam recommendations, you got me, I'm gonna watch some House
Did you? What do you think about the Show?
@@exp4ndable I did, I knew the show already. The last two seasons were terrible, but up until then I enjoyed the show very much.
I feel Ya. That's how I got into the show too. That said, glad I did. I enjoyed it immensely. I'm glad You liked it as well.
I'm bingeing House right now, riveting, great cast, Hugh Laurie is out- standing and hot too!
Please do and stick with it
In 2021~I'm just finding out that this man is English; with an accent, no less! I STILL love his work on House~CHEERS!! :)
Didn't it rain is an amazing album. Every year in the colder months I put it on when I cook dinner and it makes me feel like everything is going to be okay.
Larry King: Amazed that Hugh Laurie even knows Stephen Fry.
Also Larry King, asking a British comedian: So, did you do British humor?🧐🧐🧐🧐
March 2024! I just started watching house and got hooked! love him and even more that he actually britsh omg!
If yah get the opportunity list to him sing 😊
Of course he was great as House, but his comedy with Stephen Fry was even better. I have cried of laughter because of those two.

Very little preparation and quite a bit of interrupting on Larry's part. I love Hugh though.
i cannot believe that Larry King didn't know about Fry and Laurie google it for a great laugh
Larry actually steps on Hugh’s replies. It’s annoying.
