Hugh Laurie @ Letterman (March 23, 2009)

[RiverVeeBJD]

Now I get why the British think Americans are stupid lolol

[twotailedavenger]

Weird....I had no idea he was English.

[ralphkirk]

0:07 epic pen trick...

[golfplayer93]

Fuck that pencil trick was cool O.O

[adolfotc23]

Do the fuckin' biopsy.

[qraCz]

Who cares about the song "our house", just enjoy hugh, he's THE man

[Tinkuman28]

LOL BSc is a fucking degree. Letterman is such a dumbass sometimes.

[AlexisCapri]

It's so strange but so many Americans typing on Letterman videos don't seem to like him. I'm a Brit and I think Dave is brilliant.

[robboraptor18]

I feel bad for david letterman having to show how stupid he is when compared to hugh lowrie...

[maximusman4]

When ever I watch this show I cringe at how fucking stupid David Letterman is.

[TheElisabeth28]

British accent sounds just so much better than american :)

[acacaca553]

This is sooo weird.When I listen to him I have a feeling this isnt him.I have a feeling house is mocking Chase.He is just such a good actor I cant separate him from his role.

[thebeginingistheend]

He walks with a limp because of House :D

[identity911]

Love it when he speaks american haha!

[TheMichaelPursley]

Hugh is a good actor but but he is an awesome musician

[DarwinDiabl0]

@TheMichaelPursley vice versa, actually

[OtakuViking]

@TheMichaelPursley Hugh is an awesome musician but a brilliant comedian.

[1JEWEL5]

He sounds so more sophisticated with the British accent :)

[frickadele]

@frickadele

Hugh is brains...which makes him attractive to all sexes.

[MrPabloMartinI]

What's the name of the song played at the beginning? :)

[backinblack751]

@MrPabloMartinI our house

[laudaniky]

our house in the middle of the street

[laudaniky]

our HOUSE in the middle of the street

[DyamonFTW]

I noticed his accent sounds "more American" in some parts than it did when he was on in '06. If that makes sense.

[ThinMint1291]

So can they not play "Our House" each time he's on?

[97268324]

Damn, I notice his limp compared to the 2006 interview with letterman. 

[stefan96268]

i expected a cane

[DeathlyBanana123]

I find if funny that as soon as Dave said "Hugh Laurie" the song Our "House" came on. lol.

[johnnyt6623]

@DeathlyBanana123 they played the same song in 2006 when he was a guest

[MissSzoszo]

one of the few English people whom I actually like

[andyboothismyhero]

@MissSzoszo

Why, have you met all of them?

[rebornsnugglelove]

is it just me or does he walk REALLY weird with out his noticeable limp and cane.

[FAISALMILAN]

best quailty thanx

[MrShadyman77]

From Blackadder to Letterman

[masterthehate2]

I wonder how many people are aware of Hugh's early work

[cochranexyz]

@masterthehate2 Johnny Town Mouse?

[sherlockfan16]

@masterthehate2

Very few Americans...

[Techno1q]

The actor of one of the best characters ever played on TV. Respect.

[inrwizards]

he seemed kinda embarrased amitting he was in stuart little. Dr. Cockroach is much cooler role than the little mouse's dad! :P

I also loved Dave's delayed reaction to 45 foot woman

[inrwizards]

these two ooze dry humor. the plaza story was hilarious :P

[ALLDM4]

he is amazing ! i love him *.*

[thestranger4812]

Letterman is a giant cunt.

[musgrave68]

"tomorrow never knows" as the exit tune...

[LowStackTom]

das Letterman publikum scheint mir doch ca. 20 IQ punkte unter Harald Schmidt´s zu liegen. (lachen an den falschen stellen ist ja doch ein ziemlicher fail und peinlich - fremdschämen angesagt ... ;)

ps: bin mal gespannt ob ich mehr - od. + kommentarbewertungen bekomme, hängt wohl davon ab, wieviele amis deutsch verstehn - oder andersrum. schreibt mir bitte, falls sich deutliche tendenzen zeigen!

Danke! :)

[St1ckTacuIar]

@LowStackTom

es interessiert einfach kein schwein also hdf :)

[LowStackTom]

@St1ckTacuIar Danke fürs interesse, kleines schweinderl !

nur mal aus interesse: haste mir + od. - gegeben?

[jw2pk]

Dr. House is so friendly!

[honeykrisp]

I wanna do a pen flick like david letterman did at the beginning :D

[overmars1990]

where the hell is chase and cameron??!!

[HrlmWrld646]

I don't see how ppl from the UK can switch back n forth from their accents to american accents...i had no idea that he wasn't American. Like son who played in American Gangster as the guy Denzel shot in the head and the guy who played the cop....dont see how. I tried doing a simple down south accent and sounded COMPLETELY retarded, and I tried for months..I tried the English(UK) and it may have been even worse....HELP ME!!! i dont wanna sound like a yankee anymore! lol jk jk

[kunoichilove13]

House is an officer of the order of the british empire? BITCHIN'.

[Gordingracht]

i dont know why. but i feel they're look alike.

[kpostyle]

I'm Belgian! And I really don't care about his accent ^^ I listen to him in french^^ French voice... Niiiiiiiice.

[ChipNick87]

Our house.... I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

[DeannaRose1213]

@ChipNick87 dude, i totally didnt get it until i read this comment xD

[BluelightSpike]

Seeing him Walk without limping is... Strange. xD

[linkboy00000000]

I see what they did there with the song when he came out

[SuperAirplane123]

@linkboy00000000 the songs our house by maddness

[linkboy00000000]

@SuperAirplane123 youd dont get it? He plays house on House M.D. it

[SuperAirplane123]

@linkboy00000000 yeah i do get it

[XCallXMeXmatt]

Didn't they play "our house" when he walked on last time?

[SenorSpicy88]

i didnt know he was balding they hide it in the show, oh well house is still the best show ever

[IRmShaDe]

Anyone see the cool pen trick Dave did at the beginning?

[HMinorCold]

LOL the intro song is Full house :D

[aglayanizenko]

@HMinorCold no its not. its our house by madness. ;)

[HMinorCold]

@aglayanizenko a small mistake i dont even remember how many years its been since i last heard it.

[PlasmaCutter117]

@aglayanizenko lmfaoo full house he says! ROFL

[missrosiecass]

i am so used to him in blackadder acting like a fool…gotta love blackadder eh? 

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

He looks more like Scottish than English.

[GoughyBCFC]

Letterman's knowledge on OBE's etc is embarrassing! You could tell he was thinking of BBC!

"Do you campaign for one?"- Hugh Laurie's face afterwards was just epic. Rule Britania!

[alfonsolopulalan]

I showed this to a friend he was like; 'Oh my god! He´s British?'

So I hit him, killed him and buried him XD

[EverythingGuardianx3]

um wish he acted the same way as he acted as in house :.

[thefoggel99]

As he entered the scene i thought "Where is his cane" ??

[JenniferSalinas1]

Man it's so weird when I watch House and I watch him do interviews

[andygriff1987]

@Driinex Nah, just dialects. Plus an increased vocabulary does not indicate a different language.

[naponroy]

@Driinex Get a dictionary and look up the word language.

[Slacker46]

@Driinex seriously they're the same language just different dialects

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

@Driinex it's only one language '"English" but with different spelling,slangs,dialects and accent.

[thesteve120]

@nostalgiamelancolia1 and different words quite often, so not often the same language

[kyleheaden1]

@Driinex Why is there a need for you to convince yourself the US has its own language? English is a germanic language which is spoken in the United States, unfortunately, you speak the language of another country. Not that hard to deal with is it?

[Driinex]

@kyleheaden1 It was a joke. You know. Like, haha, very funny, dripping with sarcasm?? ???Hmm??

I don't think people are getting this....

[kyleheaden1]

@Driinex Perhaps you don't understand the nature of humor. I retract what I said if you intended it as a joke. But to clarify, you speak English. American doesn't exist.

[kyleheaden1]

@Driinex I don't think anyone is getting it. Perhaps I just have a very different idea of what humor is.

[sssc6092]

I love how in this interview and the interview from 2006, Laurie briefly looks at the camera before sitting down! haha

[pistachioguy]

Letterman looks cool in a three-piece suit.

[100irissa]

wow, I knew that he was british even though you can't notice it in House, but I never thought he had that british accent

[TheOnlyVansboy]

wtf he's british? hahah didn't know xD

[Rocksolid88]

WOW, look at how the old man throws that pencil right at the start!

[jthogan23]

her names is sarah paulson. her names is sarah paulson.

[1loverants]

@jthogan23 It took me lierally to the end of the video to figure out wtf this comment meant.

[ChubbyChumbaCheeks]

@_@ sometims i think is her realy british .... or is he really american?! lol

i just love both accents , and he really sounds like a american when he talks american i swear.

(Thumbs up if you agree )

[callaghan173]

@yodudewassp

why do you keep watching and commenting on all of them then?

[Hrko1992]

LOL I watched the movie but i didnt know house did the cockoroach voice lol

[lovez2eat]

Thank god he isn't called Dr. Cockroach in the series xD

[thumbalinaaaaax]

omg stuart little!!!!!! :D

[NOTgarycoleman]

God, he must get tired of the same fucking question over and over and over.

He should've just come out and before Dave could say a word said, "Yes, I'm British and doing an American accent is fucking Crrrrazy!!! But not THAT crazy so can we talk about something else?"

Amirite?

Amirite?

[rossapher24]

@NOTgarycoleman he doesnt even ask that in the video.

[TUUK2006]

9 dislikes? There's aresholes everywhere, I guess.

[eamskull]

Award for most wonderful cocroack! Try that for size

[1975kamrater]

Mad House..the song

[wizebeard]

Heey people,

Someone know's the name of the song at the intro, when Hugh Laurie comes in?

[galenatt]

@wizebeard "Our house" by Madness

[ETSUBobias]

@wizebeard its called "our house" by madness from the early 80`s thats bout the time when hugh started out on brit tele

[subent]

I started to admire Mr. Laurie even more after reading his novel "The Gun Seller".

[maxwrath1337]

I'm so used to seeing him walking with a cane and speaking with an american accent that i actually forget he is britsh and he walks normally.

[Luarrangel]

Sexy and talented!!

[ayotere]

love to hear his real accent..

[FiuLuM0SCraciun]

i'm not used to see him without a cain

[adsinfinitum76]

@FiuLuM0SCraciun No, he's abel-bodied.

[Clarestovold]

I love how they play 'My House' when he walks on XD

[Phenomate]

Cocky douchebagggggg

[drumnasty1]

"The Plaza Hotel is a very nice hotel. It ranks amongs the finest."

"Well then take me thither young man...with all due speed" LOL

[Bonjouritspooja]

when he walked in i was like whoa wheres his cane LOL

[VivicaStJames]

i LOVE hugh laurie!

[michelleyan01]

love his gesture at 5:36

[R1CE1TUP]

they played the Maxwell HOUSE song when he was coming out. Get it? XD

[DOGxDAYxSONxRISE]

@R1CE1TUP I thought it was "Our House" by Madness...from the 80's.

[R1CE1TUP]

@DOGxDAYxSONxRISE haha you're probably right! I just recognized the song from the Maxwell House coffee commercial. :P

[planetrob555]

@DOGxDAYxSONxRISE You are correct.

[millreef1000]

true brit

[fruitbowlhead492]

i expected him to walk out with a limp HAHA

[JADELLE]

Hes so hot. Thumbs up if you agree. :-)

[Hysteria98]

What I love about Hugh, the bastard never seems to age........

lol, I remember years ago, with Stephen Fry, he used to seem such a prat XD

[Bliza139]

somebody didn't do his homework..

[misterbasketcase]

He's my favourite actor :) He's charming :)

[Irinaki82]

Hugh Laurie is so talented. Just love him!

[LR859]

David Letterman is a fucking Jerk!

[user21XXL]

"Our house" by Madness

[ghettoprecious]

whats the song called when he's coming out?

[user21XXL]

@ghettoprecious Madness - "Our House"

[mojorhythm]

Hugh Laurie needs his other half.....Stephen Fry.

[NEMahnai]

"Our House"...sad that they played that song for both his interview with Letterman in 2006 and this one.

[elledroplet]

This man is brilliant.

[BobTheGamerUK]

His greatest success was Blackadder by miles.. leend over here, glad to see he's doing well in America also.. very talented man.

I'd love to see a new series of Blackadder.. Rowan and him are legends.

[C906070]

watch out for him in Black Adder.

[Razersun]

Not bad looking. He take it up the butt?

[TheMomochiMan]

@Razersun WTF!?...............LMFAO!!!!!­!!!!!

[uniquewriter21]

In one side and out the other......but my back.

[Krataur]

"Did you campaign for it?" Was Letterman joking or is he just an idiot?

[kumar01234]

@Krataur

you either a complete idiot or from england to think letterman was serious about campaigning for the title

[Waterfallbabe15]

@kumar01234 I don't see how being from England as anything to do with thinking someone is being serious. [or an idiot] just a mistake.

[kumar01234]

@Waterfallbabe15

i didnt say england people are idiots

i said either you have to be an idiot

or

you have to be from england

but seriously this is the letterman show. and this person called letterman idiot

[Waterfallbabe15]

@kumar01234 Yes, but why do 'you have to be from England'?

[kumar01234]

@Waterfallbabe15

i didnt say england people are idiots

what i ment was if they are from england then they probably never heard letterman to know he is a comedian and was making a joke. that is why i said or from england. people in US dont know Jonathan Ross and dont know if he is being serious or not.

[Waterfallbabe15]

@kumar01234 I never said you did say that! Jesus.

Okay I see, well.. I'm from England and I know who he is lol. still doesn't matter at all, cause people mistake others of being serious whether or not they know them anyway [he is a comedian?.. really?] but even some people take comedians seriously. it happens, does not mean you are an idiot either - sort of like sarcasm, some people just don't 'get it' and thats fine, not idiots -shrugs-

[kumar01234]

@Waterfallbabe15

actually most of comments on youtube are generally arrogant cause im a douche bag.

the only non arrogant ones are when i talk sports

[Waterfallbabe15]

@kumar01234 right?

[Waterfallbabe15]

@kumar01234 I worded my other comment really badly, came across all wrong [the one like 8hours ago] sorry. I get you now though, but still..

[Waterfallbabe15]

@kumar01234 and y'know it's fine for someone to think another person is an 'idiot', not wrong for him/her to think so. being from England has nothing to do with it, and I also never said you had said 'England people are idiots' but obviously you think if someone though some dude is an idiot then.. must be from England?? [does not matter where they are from] or an idiot themselves? which really makes no sense.

[DavidsVirtualSelf]

When he said "what are you nuts?" he went to an American accent for a second! I know it's a dumb observatioin, but I'm such a fan I get stupid when watching stuff he's in. Talking to him would be hard to do.

[TheLucifer69]

He Owned The Show

[tessinterupted3]

..........and the cab moved about 12 feet. 

[MJMonroe]

love Hugh-should win every time he's nominated for Best Actor

[kbaysurf]

Ah Hugh - your far too good for those dirty yanks! =)

[Schokowurmi]

His voice in the german version of Dr. House is so extremely different xD

[TheElse13]

wie er lacht !!! das is soooo hot

[swanseajackthe3rd]

Picking up on David's point of people not accepting the awards, yes they do. John Lennon was awarded an MBE in 1965 along with the rest of The Beatles but famously renounced it in 1969 and returned it to Buckingham Palace with a covering letter which said “Your Majesty, I am returning my MBE as a protest against Britain’s involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against ‘Cold Turkey’ slipping down the charts. With Love, John Lennon.”

[Gokuva]

It's weird to see walk normal ...

[chinglis]

LOL, i've only ever seen him in house so its really weird to watch him not be a jackass.

[kalebpage]

"take me thither with all due speed" LOL

[cinqo7]

Very clever and intelligent man.

[O0oSorousho0O]

Lol that's such a cool title

"Officer of the British Empire"

[robotracking]

Love it when he said, you lot left Britain to come to America.

[moonmatter]

I like the way he slagged off Britian over there-just like he slagged off the states when he was over here early in his "career"

[moonmatter]

Americans(Northern ones, from in between Canadia and Mexico) think that if you speak in an English accent you are automatically intelligent and honourable. He is(intelligent) but it's not the rule.

[jimmy2k4o]

@moonmatter there really not all like that you should watch the english version of springer its called the jeremy kyle show  watch clips on this there not nearly all intelligent and honourable btw am scottish not english

[ManniMann1986]

lol! "for services in the entertainment business" XD

[LinkK2B]

Haha they did House of Fun when he was on Jonathon Ross

[Keael]

LOL! OUR HOUSE!

[ytertyu]

Hugh Laurie is funny guy , but letterman stopped to be long time ago

[ryujio85]

@ytertyu letterman is good but hugh didn't need any help being funny.
