Hugh Laurie really seems to go through life quite casually. He did amazing things, without really caring for them, and when he was at university, he didn't really care for the path he took there, and still did amazing things, and now is a star and comedy legend, actor, aside from an amazing musician...
BFKC Yes, I miss him so! And watching him as a musician, as House, and pray he continues to make films, even a series, possibly just a three part comedy show with his friend... Mr. Laurie is incredible, and I thank him for the laughter- he helped my cousin get through Multiple Myeloma, end stage, UC Irvine & myself, Thyroid Cancer at Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale AZ. Brian & I watched “House” while on the phone as patients. We were diagnosed same day, and pretty sick. But with House? Brian had no pain, nor did I - we laughed to tears, binging House, saving musical sound tracks to get us thru unending treatments... Brian left us in 2011, an I am still climbing an unending hill, but I will ALWAYS love Hugh Laurie, and the joy he brought us all those years ago, over a phone❤️, and today still watching!!! Fine actor, and gifted comedian. Would be quite an interesting person to know, listen to...😎👍🏼🇺🇸🇬🇧
They're not calling him a just a fan, they assume we know who he is, they're just saying that that's his relationship to them. As in 'famous actor Daniel Radcliffe is also a fan of Stephen and Hugh.'
Stephen: cries because he's so happy he picked his career path because it meant he met Hugh Hugh: wishes he had picked a different career and moved to Hong Kong
They fit in a long line of memorable English duo's who were "Brothers from different mothers". Morecambe And Wise, Rick And Ade, Reeves and Mortimer, Mel and Griff, Ant And Dec, French and Saunders (albeit being Sisters from different misters) All have connection with each other that cannot be explained using words alone. So in tune with the with each other, not knowing where one ends and the other begins. To quote a famous catch phrase of the most popular duo in this lineup; couples where "You can't see the join"
I'm not asking for thumbs up, but now I don't know how to put this. Well, I'm here for Stephen Fry. You can feel good now, if you were here for him and not Hugh as well.
As a Hongkonger and a fan of the two, I'm really surprised to learn that Hugh once considered joining the HK police force! And what with the current notorious HK police and the worsening situation now in HK, I wondered what he is thinking now lol
@rich0292 You have to remember that Daniel Radcliffe has been acting since he was a child, a lot of actors they love watching other actors, especially well known ones. He also grew up on the Harry Potter set with a lot of older actors who would have at one point worked with either Fry or Laurie; they might have turned him to their work. Daniel has said in interviews how all the cast and crew taught him things, got him into music genres etc. Or... they wanted a well known mainstream actor. :P
Mr House and Mr National Treasure! Superb brain power here that could power a planet! Why have we got this energy crisis when we should just wire their brains into the National Grid! They love each other so much they hadn't seen each other for 15 years!
People in Hollywood, and the other globally important American cities like NYC, SF, and DC, work hard. Away from them, Americans are no more driven that people in many other nations.
the only thing I don't like about this programme is that they make out as if they rarely see each other when in fact, they see each other all the time.
The narrator states that Laurie & Fry haven't been on the screen together in 15 years. Does episode 2 of the 2003 short series Fortysomething count? How about a 2008 episode of House when Fry was a special guest star on?
sorry people, but that piece of music, you were talking about, that is playing during the 4th hour of this 1 minute video, i am no expert, but are you sure it is mozart? it could also be mozart, or mozart or ctrl+c, ctrl+v? on the other hand it does sound like justin bieber feat. miley cyrys i must say.
Yeah, you're abolutely right, and he wasn't in the pilot. I guess 15 seconds worth of research would've been worthwhile before responding to you in the first place. :) I don't know why I have an image in my head of Laurie with the blue pilot-QI-set in the background, but there we go.
I love Hugh's smile when he sees Stephen and the little "yeah" he gives. He then practically jumps out of the car before it has completely stopped moving. lol Stephen's bear hug is so sweet, and when he says welcome to Hugh he sounds so emotional. He almost engulfs Hugh with the hug. I love their friendship.
Me too. It's like when Jeeves comes back to Wooster and he asks Jeeves to pack his case, we are travelling! Inseparable like twins. Just love those two humans in everything. If you haven't seen Hugh in Catch 22 yet, do! As for Stephen, another Xmas is upon us and I'm reaching into my library for his books, to read under the canopy of a tree and or at the beach. People shall think I'm mad laughing out loud, but the words jump off the page and I smile like Blackadder is on the TV. Merry Xmas everyone🎄
My old boss was like an American version of Fry, even with the english accent, i'm always reminded of him. We actually became friends and stayed in touch after I left that job. Sadly he died way too young of cancer. :-( So whenever I see Fry i always smile but am sad at the same time. ugh
While Stephen is known for saying "Baaah!" and other various noises, he's often said that it was a greeting between him and Hugh. When Hugh arrives at 7:50 -ish, he does it! It's funny to finally see Hugh's version of it.
He doesn't even have to be nice. Fry is a great actor, even though he doesn't do much of it anymore. He appeared on the UK comedy 'Yonderland' as a villain and he did it very well.
Stephen Fry should have played the patient who can behave notoriously obnoxious with his intellect and be overzealous of his knowledge. While Dr House is very intelligent but has no time for this. He is going to tackle Fry patient his arrogance to succeed finding a solution. They have played those forces together in many of their comedy sketches and shows. Would be great to see it in House style!
I love this. I am so happy that Stephen and Hugh are held in such high regard in England. They are trully brilliant. I am also happy that Daniel Radcliffe and Ben Miller love them too.
If he says that is because it is on his mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't say it. But I don't blame him. Laurie is also atractive to the whole world, straights and also homosexuals. He's hot and this is the finale of the discussion xD
They could have done such a funny thing on this, and act like fry and Laurie were in different cars on the way to the meeting and interview them on the separate back seats then just pan out
DayDreamBeliever1961 It surprises me a little to think that you didn't know, or hadn't guessed. I mean, there is direct lineage from Python to F&L. So many comedians include Python on their lists of influence and inspiration.
I watched loads of his earlier work so that's the voice I think of as his voice, but I love that House has a totally different voice. It means I can pretend in some back part of my brain that they are two different people. Usually with actors it's unsettling when you see them out of character because it reminds you it's not real.
I have to say, I find it really fantastic when people mix manners with curses. It kind of gives the person the air of a gentleman deeply agravated. My hat is off to you, Mr K9Negative.
I understand that "bromance" is a combination of "brother" and "romance". But the word, in portuguese (my language), sounds as it was a combination of "broma" (i.e. "Joke") and "romance" (the same as in english) → a "jokance".
Although English is my language I first heard the word in Peru, and again in Spanish "bromance" has the same idea a joke romance, took me a while understand that it meant brotherly romance. Still hear the word and think it is some form of fun romance for a laugh.
Since birth, he was quoted once as saying "My first words, as I was being born... I looked up at my mother and said, 'that's the last time I'm going up one of those.'"
Mr. Laurie after years of me knowing him as House and hearing him with an American Accent. When I hear him speaking in his own accent in English it sounds as if he's faking the accent.
I heard that to prepare for the role of House, he was so dedicated to getting it right that he took on the accent on a full-time basis. I think he genuinely did have to re-learn his British accent afterwards.
That thing about 30 years suddenly going by, he never spoke a truer word, i was in my first year of college starting possibly the best time i ever had, and suddenly its 30 years later, im 48 and i dont know how the hell that happened, i sometimes wonder if i slipped into a coma for ten or so years and missed it lol.....
Imagine they did a new comedy show. "A Bit More of Fry and Laurie".
That would be great.
How about A Look at Fry and Laurie’s Bits?
Would is too PC now to let that happen unfortunately
@@prich0382 what do you mean? They're beloved international treasures. The world is not as sensitive as you think it is

Terri Hansen he does have a new series already two seasons and it awesome.

Wow! Will have to ck it out👍🏼🍸
Thank you!
I love that they just called daniel radcliffe a fan
Ah, *that* guy
It was either that or harry potter
They're not calling him a just a fan, they assume we know who he is, they're just saying that that's his relationship to them. As in 'famous actor Daniel Radcliffe is also a fan of Stephen and Hugh.'
@@Julia-oe9xl what? Me?
@@Julia-oe9xl what are you talking about. I think you replied to the wrong person
As a rower from cambridge who absolutely adores Hughs work, nothing makes me happier than him talking about his love for Cambridge and rowing
Stephen: cries because he's so happy he picked his career path because it meant he met Hugh
Hugh: wishes he had picked a different career and moved to Hong Kong
I can't stop smiling while watching this. Legends.
These two make me so proud to be British. What they have accomplished is quite amazing, The wit between them is just on another level.
It's amazing how well Laurie pulls off that accent. Convincing.
They fit in a long line of memorable English duo's who were "Brothers from different mothers". Morecambe And Wise, Rick And Ade, Reeves and Mortimer, Mel and Griff, Ant And Dec, French and Saunders (albeit being Sisters from different misters)

THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING!!
I love it. A special on two cool guys hanging out
Loved this show. British shows are best, from US.
perfect pairing, lovely men, so please to see this.
Can't they both be on the Graham Norton show?
I LOVE THEM ENDLESSLY.
Correction, it wasn't 15 years, they appeared on the first episode of QI in 2003 which makes 7 years
I love this pair!!!!!
Hugh Laurie first caught my attention in Sense and Sensibility. He is fantastic as Mr. Palmer. Then I watched Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster.
OH I would love to see them together again. I wished for years Stephen would guest on House.
i love them both
thank you so much
Hugh's dad was fit.
Yes indeed!
what an easy life these 2 have had
Where are parts 2 and 4?!
I'm not asking for thumbs up, but now I don't know how to put this. Well, I'm here for Stephen Fry. You can feel good now, if you were here for him and not Hugh as well.
My night has been made
The greatest bromance of all time.
Stephen Fry is the godfather of all three of Hugh Laurie’s children.
Fans of F&L should also check out Alfresco.-Fry, Laurie, Ben Elton, Robbie Coltraine, Emma Thompson & Siobhan Redmond.
@awreckingball Yes he is, he is one of the first to admit this in his book, yet there is something so endearing about him
I LOVE that grin at 7:54
So adorable :D
As a Hongkonger and a fan of the two, I'm really surprised to learn that Hugh once considered joining the HK police force! And what with the current notorious HK police and the worsening situation now in HK, I wondered what he is thinking now lol
@boychildnew1 I do ! I do ! I've never seen a single episode of that hospital thing, cause for me, Hugh is not House :-) He's Stephen's Hugh !
@rich0292 You have to remember that Daniel Radcliffe has been acting since he was a child, a lot of actors they love watching other actors, especially well known ones.

Thanks for posting. I really enjoyed this.
I think they would make awesome dinner guests!!
What music is playing in the background at the beginning?
People in Hollywood, and the other globally important American cities like NYC, SF, and DC, work hard. Away from them, Americans are no more driven that people in many other nations.
the only thing I don't like about this programme is that they make out as if they rarely see each other when in fact, they see each other all the time.
I got this the other way round with David Tennant and Dr Who. I was like daamn he sounds weird with a scottish accent :P
And by 90 minutes, narrator lady, you of course mean about 68 minutes.
Gotta get those adverts in!
Yeh, we knew that already about you; explains why you like the show.
The narrator states that Laurie & Fry haven't been on the screen together in 15 years. Does episode 2 of the 2003 short series Fortysomething count? How about a 2008 episode of House when Fry was a special guest star on?
most of this is them telling us what's coming up :P
sorry people, but that piece of music, you were talking about, that is playing during the 4th hour of this 1 minute video, i am no expert, but are you sure it is mozart? it could also be mozart, or mozart or ctrl+c, ctrl+v? on the other hand it does sound like justin bieber feat. miley cyrys i must say.
Yeah, you're abolutely right, and he wasn't in the pilot. I guess 15 seconds worth of research would've been worthwhile before responding to you in the first place. :)
I don't know why I have an image in my head of Laurie with the blue pilot-QI-set in the background, but there we go.
How many have seen "the treaty of westphalia" ?
I love Hugh's smile when he sees Stephen and the little "yeah" he gives. He then practically jumps out of the car before it has completely stopped moving. lol Stephen's bear hug is so sweet, and when he says welcome to Hugh he sounds so emotional.

The looks in their eyes when Hugh's car arrived. True best friends who do love each other.
Totally I agreed!
Almost made me cry!
🥰
Going to start calling my friends "m'colleague"
Do you have a fedora to tip?
They worked on shows together and went to school together.
I adore the way Fry speaks. He opens his mouth and colour comes forth.
My old boss was like an American version of Fry, even with the english accent, i'm always reminded of him. We actually became friends and stayed in touch after I left that job. Sadly he died way too young of cancer. :-( So whenever I see Fry i always smile but am sad at the same time. ugh
@King brian Boru thank you
Agreed. And colour comes forth, not color.
The best Bromance that ever happened.
While Stephen is known for saying "Baaah!" and other various noises, he's often said that it was a greeting between him and Hugh. When Hugh arrives at 7:50 -ish, he does it! It's funny to finally see Hugh's version of it.
"'My word, Jane', I used to say to my wife, 'the garden's looking very homosexual this morning!" Bwahahahahaha! I need to see more of them. :D
I love that the majority of Americans are complety unaware that Hugh Laurie even has a career in comedy
A good portion of them don't event know he's British
And why was Fry never a guest star on House?
he could have played the one patient who is notoriously nice
He doesn't even have to be nice. Fry is a great actor, even though he doesn't do much of it anymore. He appeared on the UK comedy 'Yonderland' as a villain and he did it very well.
He embarrassed himself in a recurring character on Bones, as an old ex-pop star. His air guitar playing exposed him as a non-musical person.
Stephen Fry should have played the patient who can behave notoriously obnoxious with his intellect and be overzealous of his knowledge. While Dr House is very intelligent but has no time for this. He is going to tackle Fry patient his arrogance to succeed finding a solution.
They have played those forces together in many of their comedy sketches and shows. Would be great to see it in House style!
Stephen was actually auditioning for a role in Dr.House, but he's never gotten it.
I think he was auditioning for Chase or Wilson...
7:52. Laurie's reaction to seeing Fry is so wonderfully natural and instinctive. You can tell these guys have an amazing friendship.
Who thinks either Stephen Fry or Hugh Laurie should be the doctor in Doctor Who
+TheFranBear Or The Doctor and The Master.
Hugh Laurie = The Master Stephen Fry = The Master done
Both would make great doctors. You set me thinking . . Stephen Fry could be Del-Boy and Hugh could be Rodney.
TheFranBear Hugh would always be House, Fry could easily do it
Hugh Laurie could be. But not Steven fry
Even the first ten seconds of this has put a big silly grin on my face.
Emma thompson. Just lounging around.
7:51 that, right there when they saw each other, the uncontrollable smile, that is true friendship.
I love Hugh's face when he seens Stephen as his is getting out the car at around 7:50
I love this. I am so happy that Stephen and Hugh are held in such high regard in England. They are trully brilliant. I am also happy that Daniel Radcliffe and Ben Miller love them too.
My favourite quick subtle gag was labelling Daniel Radcliffe as "Fan"
Absolutely no one.
Stephen Fry: "I was never attracted to him."
lol
Kris probably the first time I see the “no one:” format being used reasonably. Unlike most cases it fits just right
If he says that is because it is on his mind. Otherwise, he wouldn't say it. But I don't blame him. Laurie is also atractive to the whole world, straights and also homosexuals. He's hot and this is the finale of the discussion xD
Laughed out loud at 0:34 when Stephen Fry referred to Hugh Laurie as "M'colleague"!
7:55
They could have done such a funny thing on this, and act like fry and Laurie were in different cars on the way to the meeting and interview them on the separate back seats then just pan out
jeeves and wooster was sublime, the best thing on tv, both perfect for the roles.
Sherlock and Mycroft...Laurie really is the Sherlock we never got to have.
Technically Laurie did get to be Sherlock
The comment above. Laurie did play Sherlock, just not in the business you'd expect.
In my philosophy there are two kinds of people....those who get Monty Python and those who don't....glad to find that Hugh is a fellow Pythonite.
DayDreamBeliever1961 It surprises me a little to think that you didn't know, or hadn't guessed. I mean, there is direct lineage from Python to F&L. So many comedians include Python on their lists of influence and inspiration.
Most british comedy writers were/are influenced by monty python
REALLY, DDB? I've never known anyone who didn't LOVE Monty Python - I still DO! (I even have to listen to "The Universe Song" periodically...........
Hearing Laurie speak in his British accent is so weird after watching all of House and none of his earlier work!
Get thee to Blackadder and Jeeves & Wooster.
He has a fine clear English accent but has to use that stupid mangled guttural American accent in House for no good reason.
Jack Gammon
> mangled guttural American accent in house for no good reason
House is an AMERICAN-based TV SERIES
Still waiting for an American doing a fantastic English accent.....
I watched loads of his earlier work so that's the voice I think of as his voice, but I love that House has a totally different voice. It means I can pretend in some back part of my brain that they are two different people. Usually with actors it's unsettling when you see them out of character because it reminds you it's not real.
Fry and Laurie would both have a field day mocking the narrator of this!
Why is House british and shaved
*So, the love story of General Milchette and Georgina is true after all, eh?*
Hugh Laurie's British accent is FANTASTIC!
They are like the closest of brothers.
Correction: they are the closest of brothers.
I have to say, I find it really fantastic when people mix manners with curses. It kind of gives the person the air of a gentleman deeply agravated. My hat is off to you, Mr K9Negative.
I'm from America but I freakin love both of these gentlemen.
Imagine if Fry played Wilson :D
He wouldn't be Wilson then, though.
I love that they still refer to each other as m'colleague.
I do wish that 'The Curious Misadventures of Mr Fry and Mr Laurie' was actually the title of a novel.
Jeez i feel like the first 10 minutes of this is an ad for the rest of it. GET TO IT
It was listed as introduction.
I enjoyed every moment
I understand that "bromance" is a combination of "brother" and "romance". But the word, in portuguese (my language), sounds as it was a combination of "broma" (i.e. "Joke") and "romance" (the same as in english) → a "jokance".
language is fun
Native Portuguese speaker here. I've never heard of broma.
Although English is my language I first heard the word in Peru, and again in Spanish "bromance" has the same idea a joke romance, took me a while understand that it meant brotherly romance.
Still hear the word and think it is some form of fun romance for a laugh.
"Back together on screen for the first time in 15 years" Hugh was on the first episode of QI, so that's not true.
Stephen Fry really is such a national treasure, such an inspiration!
Lmaaooo Emma Thompson all dressed up with nowhere to go
my first thought was ... she most definitely did that just to take the piss
Too bad the makeup person overdid it. She is lovely without all the paint.
@@Hithere-ek4qt I like watching her in nanny Macphee, from hag to WOW!!!!!!!
Everyone in the world during lockdown
I remember watching this 12 years ago on my friends couch during a sleepover. I hope this never disappears
I love them both. They were the best part of Tv in Croatia. They are amazing meisters of british humour.

omg omg omg omg omg this makes me SO happy!!!! omg...
Two of the people we definitely need to make, somehow, immortal.
I'd love it if Fry and Laurie made another series of comedy sketches. Cos that's what I think they were best at
I love the genuine smiles when hugh arrives.
0:33 He still calls him M'Colleague, that is awesome.
Thanks for this. I love them both separately, but whenever they are together it’s a bit of magic ❤️
This is very sad. Back in 2010 the UK was a completely different place. Today...
I feel you.
Fortunately, they are some of the few celebrities fighting back against the insanity.
Fry and Laurie, when they work together or are together, they are so creative, blasting amazing!!!!
