It is so difficult to take Lipton seriously. He rather appears as a spoiled child who would eat macaroni & cheese off that TV tray he sits at whilst banging a cup to get his mother's attention. "Mom, bring me some more milk!" I would think most actors, especially the English ones might find him ridiculous.
@VisionaryofMirage Hugh Laurie is the awesome one, not James Lipton. House is great and Hugh's piano playing is incredible. Great musician and actor. Lipton does provide for a great atmosphere though. popular show
I love Hugh Laurie.. but does he have like fleas or something? Every two seconds he's scratching somewhere on his body... I know it's probably I nervous tick but still it's kind of annoying me as I watch this....
@1niloc3 how come i've never heard an american person refer to someone from england as english. They are always 'british'. It's technically more PC but its a bit weird. I doubt they'd call someone from scotland british.
@SweetMintPie555 i understand that the accent is English - but without knowing which of the countries he may be from (the ones that form Great Britain) that is, i just said British. I am Trini by the way.
@SweetMintPie555 Most of the time you'll get Americans calling the Scottish or the Welsh English, or referring to the Prime Minister of England. We're, uh, we're not good at geography.
@Potatoes9000 haha fair enough, it's funny how it appears you have some of the most intelligent people in the world in your country, yet also a huge amount of ignorant people. I'm learning where the 52 states are on the map this summer, because i have 11 weeks off and have little else to do with my time :D
"and we became friendly......as a result...." @ 5:31 - to 5:40 the look he gives LOL soo funny like i shouldnt be saying this.... and then Lipton said " i want it on the record that i did NOT bring that up" lol
"and we become friendly......as a result...." @ 5:31 - to 5:40 the look he gives LOL soo funny like i shouldnt be saying this.... and then Lipton said " i want it on the record that i did NOT bring that up" lol
Could this Lipton fella read off his cue cards any more than he could. I think he made more eye contact with those than he did with Hugh. It's almost as if his cue cards had questions like " What school did you go to?" answer ___ see cue card 22, if answer ____ see cue card 23 etc etc
All in all, an awkward looking interview. But Hugh ... love him.
@redmanzanita I disagree again. The Harry Potter movies are not very good, I grant you that. But the "Harry Potter story" is amazing. Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity and the books are absolutely wonderful. So please, blame the film makers, but the cast and the story are incredible, incredible things. I mean, why do you think that amazing cast all signed on in the first place? It's because the books are superb.
@redmanzanita Really? Because many critically acclaimed, Oscar winning and nominated actors and actresses have appeared in the Harry Potter series. As much as I love Hugh Laurie he is no Emma Thompson. He's no Maggie Smith. Are you really suggesting that these people are sub-par? I would like to suggest a theory as to why he wasn't in them - there is not a single part that Hugh Laurie would fit the description of. The Harry Potter movies are that great but the cast is undeniably phenomenal.
@ahabthewhaler Thanks for the explanation. I did´nt knew that show before and was a little bit annoyed about mocking hugh laurie for these " british traditions". But, yes , he must have known that before.
@619upyours Well, as British dental care is at least 4x better than yours, plus alot cheaper... And anyway, better to have slightly uneven teeth than only one tooth, like you hillbilly scum.
I've never seen Stephen Fry look so fit! He looks positively gorgeous. And I thought he was handsome now. I never assumed he had hips that narrow. My goodness, what a dish!
Stephen Fry is Hugh Laurie's comedy partner. They are in programs together such as 'Blackadder', 'A Bit Of Fry And Laurie' and 'Jeeves And Wooster'. :D
Also, I would recommend the tv comedy/educational show QI if you like Stephen Fry.
@ScathingSarcasm I just about died laughing when he said, "Who wrote this homoerotic anthem?" and then we actually get to hear how true that statement is. XD
