Really sad to see Hugh growing older, because I don’t want a time when he isn’t with us. Legend that he is.
I was a bit shocked to see how old he looks.
That hurts me right now. I'm re-watching 7th season of house m.d.
I watched 2017 video at first time and I thought by myself, that's ok, he lost some hear. But 2022 he's lookin like an old man 😢
I don't want to believe in it. And I don't want to recognise we getting old too.
@@vadim_cos Fear of aging is unhealthy. We all do it, it's perfectly ok, embrace it.
He only like… in his early sixties
He was 63 when that was filmed. Some people age prematurely. My ex-husband is 64 but looks 45. I always get mistaken for someone who is at least 18 years younger. Age is just a number.
That's what you get as an American calling a Brit on a breach of etiquette. The most polite passive aggression for life.
#ohsnap.
The entire time I was thinking "this is a masterclass in how to be both petty and extremely adorable at the same time" 🤣
As a Southerner, Stephen was well aware of the response he would get.
That is SO true.
I think you meant, "Passive Obsessive Aggressive"! 😉
Only Hugh could carry that small joke to such an extreme. Thought he was a bit cold at first, but then as always he won me over with his good nature.
Cold in real life?
I cant see him as cold after a bit of Fry and lorry
@@rickmorty917 Or The Young Ones!
It's the Englishness. You get used to it.
You haven't watched him in Black Adder with Rowan Atkinson then...you should 🙂
@@ikwoessien I loved Blackadder and House for years before I realized he was in both. 😆
This cards are the most hilarious passive aggressive move of all time. And the fact Hugh didn't stop after Stephen's cards ran out.... Wow... That is real commitment to a bit
notice though that he didn't use the green ones.
@Juragan Muda why have you linked a video of desolate rain?
@@PoppyCorn144 people link this stuff all the time. I imagine to get views
@@PoppyCorn144 They're trying to get views on their random video by spamming the comments sections of popular videos
It's astounding how much this prank is like something House would do. This is my first time seeing him as himself.
I was thinking exactly the same about the joke, like something Greg would do to Wilson 🤣 btw, I had seen him on Graham Norton 😊
@@JoshuaTootell yeah, it's Hugh Laurie (and Stephen Fry's) sense of humour. I suspect Hugh Laurie influenced the script on House.
@@JoshuaTootell it’s ‘A Bit of Fry & Laurie’, but yes, he should. As well as Blackadder the Third, Blackadder Goes Forth and Jeeves & Wooster, featuring him and Stephen Fry. All giving wonderful examples of his sense of humour and the amazing cast of writers he worked with back then. Hugh Laurie is so amazingly talented.
@@Demoiselle21 There are a couple of references in the House script to some British comedy, so I am sure you right.
Not what House would do but it would have been a sketch from "A Bit Of Fry and Laurie" ( a comedy show written and presented by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie from 1989 to 1995) which not enough Americans have seen.
What I liked, 1. Stephen recognised that he'd behaved like a jerk, and 2. Hugh Laurie's awesome humourous response 🤣
At first I thought Stephen was going to say that BB had notified him that they, in fact, had made an error…that, in fact, the delivery had NOT been made. 🤪
Ps. I actually lived in Dayton for 2 years. 🫢
Really was a dick move of Stephen to ask for thanks for a gift... on air. Rather like his catholic god, demanding praise. Hugh sure gave him some perspective.
You've completely misinterpreted what's gone on here.
1) Stephen was deliberately acting like a jerk.
2) Hugh appreciated the bit so much, that's why he wrote all the cards.
comedians aren't like normal people, they only care about being funny.
Well said 😂
Wait, you really think Hugh wrote those cards? You sweet summer child.
It's amazing that he actually read them all. I was sure they'd stop, but they just kept going. With every card I grew more confused yet loved the bit even more.
what you never had a pen pal email buddy or a twitter troll like this
friends all over the world are now going to suffer this prank 😂
One of those rare pranks that only get funnier the more times they are pulled.
I still can't tell whether he actually wrote all those, or if it was a bit the show writers prepared for him. (Kinda like their signature "first drafts" bit) Hilarious either way.
I can’t believe Stephen saved them all.
“I don’t mean that I agree with their views, but I am their property.”
Best line. 😂
My face hurts from chuckling. Hugh Laurie is just so effortlessly funny.
I feel there is a me too movement here.

Had to pause to laugh and cough at "I have a pain in my knee today." Don't know how many are left, and I also wanted to cherish them. I'm thankful for Hugh Laurie and Stephen Colbert.
Why is house doing this?
@@buddyj5VCO More Bertie Wooster than House😋
Imagine getting a thank-you note everyday for 2 months, what an epic response.
6* 😂😂
He was getting them 2 or 3 times a week so he said this lasted for 6 months 😂😂😂
its a British way of saying F*ck you many many times.~trooper
Imagine having an attention to detail
Imagine getting a cheeky text every day for six months. But that person missed two days and lose the task on a show
Oh my God that was even better than I could have imagined. Hugh is hysterical XDD
@Juragan Muda Go away bot!
People who don’t know Hugh Laurie except from House should really go watch A Bit of Fry & Laurie, which he created, wrote and starred in with Stephen Fry. The silliness of this is right up his alley.
And Blackadder next.
But I don't see what you're talking about, madam !
Also 'Jeeves and Wooster'
Looooove A Bit of Fry and Laurie. It is my lifeblood. Would you like an opal fruit?
Oleg P I love Jeeves and Wooster, total guilty pleasure (I’d get a lot of stick off my mates if they knew I liked that)
Hugh is going to turn this into an off-Broadway play. It will be a Tony award winning musical.
i'd totally watch this!
I’d fly out for it
Title: "Thanks."
See what sending a note a day gets you? A slowly progressing case of psychoactive envelope glue poisoning.
Thats how Susan died
@@Onemore59 Came here looking for that comment!
@@Onemore59Who is Susan?
@@heygranti24a character from Seinfeld that was married to George Costanza who died licking a lot of cheap glue from wedding envelopes
that could be a house episode
It still wigs me out to hear his real voice. HUGE House fan.
Um, he's been performing since he was in his early 20's... on TV!
Big Blackadder fan
@@JesusChrist-rz3ll and a bit of Fry and Laurie!!!
@@rsr789 lol it's ok, a lot of us in America have no idea about his comedy history because House was such a big show. As a teenager I watched a lot of IFC and Sundance channel (those were 2 of the indie film networks we had on cable here in the US, before streaming we had indie tv and film on cable) so I watched way more British sketch comedy than a lot of Americans who have seen House. I don't know how it is in the UK but most people where I live in the US have no idea that he does comedy...even though he's funny in House like all the time.
@ Bosdy Spaghetti, you cannot POSSIBLY be a bigger fan than I am! Just started it up again a couple months ago! Trying to space them out do I don't go through them do fast!
Hugh Laurie is a GLOBAL treasure.
This is like he received his own personal a bit of Fry & Laurie sketch by mail , epic!!
I couldn’t help myself; I counted them off as he was reading, to check if they were really 57, or if it was just a subset selected in the interest of brevity (TV shows run on a tight schedule). 57 it is 😀
Thank you
Thank you.
Thank you!
Thank you for that! 😁
Thank you
I love that I live in the universe where Hugh Laurie and Stephen Colbert are friends
Very true. Lots wrong in this world but this is a powerful antidote
I miss Hugh on the screen and on this type of interview. He’s very witty and funny.
Have you seen his TV series, "Chance"? It's 2 seasons of an intense psychological thriller as he plays Dr. Chance!
@@SixthSun fantastic show. Chance and Better Call Saul could be the last great TV series.
He’s on screen every week on HBO, and every day in syndication
If I could have two famous people for friends, it would be Emma Thompson and Hugh Laurie. I'd never stop laughing 😂
So you want to be Stephen Fry?
Or Stephen Colbert. He gives great presents.
I absolutely adore Emma Thompson
Just saw them both in Why did they not ask Evans series.
@@roberthoward9500 Honestly, that sounds like a pretty great added bonus :D
Only a genius could respond like that.
Right?😂 He even went out & bought MORE cards so he could keep going!!🤣
Hugh Laurie is an absolute legend. Hard stop.
Flawless read. 6 month long thank you. That's an awesome segment
House was one of the few shows I can confidently say I have watched every episode.
I binge watch it twice a year.
Me: Twice
The first 4-5 seasons were pretty rough to watch. Very samey, bland characters. I liked when they took a turn and decided to develop the characters.
@@astropgn beginning of season 6 made me feel some type of way
@@astropgn you actually have the uncommon take, people loved it during the first 5 seasons, then didn't like it as much. Personally, I loved the whole show
This man is not a national treasure, he's an international treasure. We all love him so much. Thank you Hugh Laurie for being awesome. Love from France.
I’m currently reading Hugh Laurie’s book (The Gun Seller) and from time to time I have to laugh audibly even if there are people around. He has such a brilliant mind. One of my favourite people on entertainment ever. Can’t wait to have the time to watch his new show
What is the show called
You could probably publish those thank you cards in a book form and donate the proceeds to the Lupus Foundation. 😉
but its never lupus
@@-Big_Big
It was once.
Or some other obscure disease/syndrome from House.
Hugh is a national treasure on both sides of the Atlantic.
Bigger in Britain than America
Both Hugh and Stephen are so petty, it’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The amazing thing is that you'd think this would get unfunny, but it just gets better and better. That's Hugh Laurie for you.
That went off the rails hard. Very well done, Mr. Laurie.
This reminds me of the British TV show TASKMASTER, where host Greg Davies was sent one anonymous 'cheeky' text by one contestant, Mark Watson, daily for six months, only to discover later on that he was the only one assigned this 'task'.
And then he didn't get the points because he missed one! I was livid when Greg did that! Poor Mark 😭
@@RuuryM Truly one of Taskmaster's biggest injustices 😂
English... Alex Horne is English not British and yes there is a difference...for fecks sake...cor blimey
@@datgrrl5698 Britain is the island upon which the country of England exists. That's like saying someone from China isn't Asian, they're just Chinese. People can be described in multiple ways.
I love finding taskmaster fans in random pockets of the internet
Hugh is a pure comedy treasure, along with (obviously) Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson. They're the triumvirate of humor.
When the three of them get together, magic is made.
Loved when Hugh asked whether he preferred blue or green, and since Stephen DIDN'T write back, he got both! Touche`!😂🤣😂
Mr. Laurie, although you will never read this, thank you. Thank you for giving yourself to your career to give us such amazing works. The same goes for you, Mr. Colbert. By far, my favorite interview in a long time.
Hugh Laurie is comedy royalty. Nuff said.
I have been listening to Stephen Fry read his autobiography 'The Fry Chronicles' and he tells of meeting Hugh at university and they became the comdey writing team we know and love so Hugh has got comedy pedigree and is naturally funny.
"Is Sean Hannity a happy man?" LOL 🤣 Hugh is a genius.
The world needs a little more "Fry and Laurie" right now.
C'mon Stephen and Hugh.
Do it.
Hugh squeezed quite a bit of gags into that. I was waiting to see how he would go next, wasn't getting bored haha
Please keep this going! Pen Pals or something segment. This was golden.
This brought back memories of the delightful “Jeeves & Wooster” series. Love Hugh Laurie & Stephen Fry.
Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry have done so much for comedy and happiness.
What a great prank! I usually don't like pranks, but this is glorious.
Same, I find a lot of pranks mean. This was just hilarious!
Brilliant!😂 This is why we love Hugh Laurie. 😍
Just made me love, truly love, Hugh even more. And Stephen for bringing it up again in such an awesome, entertaining way!
He actually made him read them all , LOL !
Such a House response to a gift 🤣
Hugh Laurie is amazing. Everything is a bit. Find the joy
THANK YOU HUGH LAURIE!!!
I LOVE HUGH LAURIE WITH ALL MY HEART AND ALWAYS WILL
SUCH A WONDERFL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL MAN
I didn’t know I could laugh for 8 minutes straight, no pause 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣
This was EPIC!
One of the most hilarious segments ever! Sending cards days apart forming a complete thought is a stroke of genius!
I am not tired of hearing his thank-you note messages. Keep going!
What a great guy and actor 👏
Those Brits and their humor. That was quite brilliant!

Hugh Laurie is the BEST of the BEST. OMG.
"I have a pain in my knee today..." Is that Dr. House method acting?
This is actually lovely and pretty funny.
I love Hugh Laurie 's commitment that's the true sign of a professional.
This is what happens when you annoy one of the most famous comedians on Earth... You get an amazing whimsical monologue that just goes on and ends on an actual cliffhanger.
This was marvellous to behold and its the reason Hugh Laurie is one of my favourite comedians. Well executed. Never mean and always funny.
I had no idea he'd been executed. I didn't think he was that bad.
"Hugh Laurie and the 57 Thank You notes" definitely sounds like a book i'd buy.
Hugh Laurie - what a gem of an actor and such intelligent humor. missing House :(
This was hilarious! I was laughing so hard, I was crying and wheezing. I adore Hugh Laurie. I've watched him since Blackadder when I was a kid.
I love how most of this interview was essentially written months ago and it took 6 months 🤣🤣
THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile and Hugh Laurie are why I am late to work today....... Totally worth it!!!
So, passive agressive gratitude is a thing now?
Thanks, Hugh.
So much.
That was brilliant! Started out belly-laughing, ended up wheezing! That was quite the ab workout! 🤣🤣
Hugh is a really great sport... I enjoyed that far too much haha. I wish he'd read that as Dr. House.
I wish he'd read it as George from Blackadder
@@theMosen Even better!
@@theMosen Now I have to go watch Black Adder. 😄
I was expecting him to bring the segue in at the end. Perhaps the terrorists took it, or he used it to escape them.
love your vids.
I'd wager he used it to escape from them. Somehow he's there. Or maybe the terrorists give him days off?
Or traded the segue for his freedom??😉
Mm, was expecting him to give them the segways as "valuable items"
It was a very original, funny, witty, crazy thank you notes series. THANK YOU !!!🤩
That was actually brilliant on many levels.
This is what an OxBridge education gets you. Incredible.
Cambridge.
@@helenpauls1496 Both are accurate, one's just slightly more vague. I could go further and name the college, but it wouldn't be a correction, just a specification.
I love Hugh Laurie so much.
The world loves Hugh!!! And always will !!!
It’s so good of Hugh to come on, after having been held captive for so long. He didn’t even have time to shave!
PLEASE PUBLISH THOSE AS A BOOK!!! OMG... Hugh is the best.
I’ve been a fan since your sketch roles in “A Bit of Fry & Laurie,” which were only topped by your role as Dr House. As a US nurse, your role & the show‘House’ was a game-changer for me.
I have the utmost respect for your acting chops, musical/vocal skill & acumen & the general outlook you impress in every interview I’ve watched.
I have no larger-than-life, starry-eyed illusions that you are more than who you are.
I simply admire what you have accomplished with what you’ve been given.
Much respect and love
That is such a nice reply I hope he gets to see it......❤❤❤
What a brilliant, talented artist.
An awesome bit!
That's the most fun and laughter I've had for a while
I just love Hugh Laurie, he is a legend, such an awesome sense of humour
I love him so much he will always be one the best actors in history
Brilliant!
“Thank you.” Brilliant!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🏆
LOL - I love Hugh. He's an International treasure!
Love these. Hugh Laurie is a gem.
I have always loved this man, add this to the list of reasons why. Such a gem!! 💛 Thanks for the thanks Hugh😜
Just love love Hugh Laurie!
I wish I had 57 thank you cards from Hugh Laurie 💔
Hugh didn't write those thank you notes...so your imaginary friend can still send you thank you notes...
Hugh!!! Yes!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful!
That was the best thing I have ever seen in my life!! Well done!
You can tell he speaks Spain Spanish with that "Gra-thias" 💕🇪🇸
Hugh Laurie is an EXCELLENT comic!
That is brilliant!
We forget that Hugh (House) Laurie was half of one of Britain's legendary comedy duos with Stephen Fry.
