The wonderful, talented and handsome Hugh Laurie OBE CBE joins us in studio to talk about Veep as well as a bunch of other stuff. A true gentlemen and one we loved to spend time with.
Great booking, chaps. Hugh is comedy genius and my old next door neighbour on Tufnell Park Rd in the 90's. He deserves a knighthood for his Blackadder contributions alone.
Grew up with Laurie on Blackadder and A Bit of Fry and Laurie. This was such a treat! Fantastic guest, thanks for this guys! (Quietly crossing fingers for a Stephen Fry episode)
Love Hugh Laurie ❤️ So interesting. He is a person one wants to understand and know about him. Why? How can someone just be talented? Love his ways to self reflection. He came here (planet-life) with it ✨

aww, this was just awesome. hugh laurie is one of my fave actors. haha that bit about the heroes and the beard. also loving the vibe of this podcast. they’re all just chilling and hanging around, bouncing from subject to subject. i havent seen veep but now imma go and watch. 💕💕💕
The well respected British poet and actor Benjamin Zephaniah turned down the honour because he did not want the words 'British Empire' added to his name, and it was an extremely honourable decision. Many other respected people also turned it down and for very respectable reasons.
Definitely need more Hugh Laurie on podcasts!!
Every podcast needs more Hugh Laurie.

I don't think we have a vote in him getting knighted but if we did HE WOULD BE.
I lived on Tufnell Park Road in the late 80s! Er… that’s all I got.
Hugh is human treasure. Thank you for enriching my life.
He’s the best.
One of my favorite episodes yet. Gotta be one of the best guests on the show so far
He's incredible.
@@secondincommandATC you didn't treat him well.......
WHERE WAS THE BUSTY SERVING WENCHES!!!
AND WHERE WERE THE MONOCLES
I have never clicked on a video this fast before. Absolutely loving this content! Please keep it coming!! 🎉🎉🎉
Clicked so fast you broke your finger.
My favorite actor of all time and Veep was one of my favorites. Great show!!
He’s the best.
When I first started watching you guys i always hoped one day you’d get Hugh Laurie
We always knew we'd get him on when we got to the Tom James run.
I listened to the podcast first, and now I’m watching the interview again. Hugh Laurie needs to be seen. ❤️
An absolute comedy icon! What a treat for Hugh and Matt.
They were appreciative of my time. For that i thank them.
Beautiful interview! Thank you guys! Hugh must’ve been fun to be around
Always.
Thank you😍😍😍😍😍😍And I'm thrilled to see Hugh Laurie🥰🥰🥰🥰

Tom James in the HOUSE!

Soupy twist.

thank you so much for this interview. I love him so much
What an intelligent, talented, lovely man...
I appreaciate his take on academics on art... the stiffness of many academics in music is offputing for students.
He's so wonderful and smart about just about everything.
It's ironic that these places that are there to educate and "grow" artists can also be so confining in their views and approach.
I will forever DIE at Matt’s DL joke never meet your heroes. It took the room entirely too long to get that!!!!
i love their joke of a rivarly. made me laugh so much.
I'm genuinely excited for this.
We were genuinely excited to have him in!
Wow 😮
Yes. Our feelings exactly.
Oh the men We were waiting for 😊
aww, this was just awesome. hugh laurie is one of my fave actors. haha that bit about the heroes and the beard. also loving the vibe of this podcast. they’re all just chilling and hanging around, bouncing from subject to subject. i havent seen veep but now imma go and watch. 💕💕💕
When Matt asks about beating PMs, Laurie answers simply how many, but I wonder what story is unwrapping in his head at this moment.
Loved Hugh Laurie since "Fry and Laurie" and my favorite is him as George, Prince of Wales in "Blackadder".😃😆😅😂😃😅😂😆😃😅😂
This is amazing
We thought so too!
The "coach" point is such a good one!
he knows beard fits him so much but he is so english
god, i love you hugh
I always got a Bill Clinton vibe from Laurie as Tom James. Funny that he comes up but that it was never intended!
I had never heard him speak to that before but i love the comp
Brilliant. Keep up the good work
Thank you we will try!
Loved the podcast!
A true honor ♥️
The last time I was listening to this podcast, I dislocated my kneecap on a train.
So I suppose this is like therapy 😅
PLEASE don't ride trains and get hurt while listening to us. Save that for the smartless guys.
Imersão is the translation of immersion!!! Huge fan from brazil!!!🇧🇷
This needs to be way more viral.
FINALLY!!
I started watching Veep because of Hugh Laurie. and I loved the show before Hugh Laurie appeared in it
Hugh looks like Clint Eastwood
Love!!!
He rules.
Entertainment is important. It should be recognised and awarded.
Yes in Turkey an upward head movement is No
Lovely conversation!
Bulgaria is one place where both the yes and no gestures are reversed: a headshake means yes and a nod means no.
Do you still smoke?
Also, Jesus story.
😅 smooth operators here.
Please please get Sufe Bradshaw! Love Sue.
mike and johan have a fucking podcast. Best day ever
Thanks for being a good father to Stewart Little 🐁🏎️
I think it’s fair to say that we’ve produced a disproportionate number of people way better at being grandparents than can put on good pageantry 🇬🇧
In the country as a whole? Yeah for sure. In the monarchy? I'll leave that up to others to do the math.
@@secondincommandATC I have my suspicions that the ratio may be quite similar…
@@secondincommandATC Also, Armando’s coterie of bishop-scribes are justly feared around London for their sickening cruelty and sarcasm
amazing
we thought so too
Daniel Craig, Knives Out
Come on we want to hear Walsh's monarch joke that was edited out at 1:16 lol !
There wasn't a joke that was edited out! Just a stammer that was cleaned up!
@@secondincommandATC Sounds like a classic McLlintock spin to me... Kidding, thanks for the info !
Oh that's a really great podcast, I love it!!! Best guest ever! When was it recorded?
Honestly can’t remember but it was during a heat wave.
Sir
Thank you for House MD
How brilliant x were you guys recording in England or USA?
Usa
That accent 😍
So dreamy.
Hugh is america’s greatest actor ! …hang on, what? oh, Britain’s greatest american actor !
hugh one chance 😭😭
Matt has to remember that being awful to women in a 50s way is very on-brand for American Christianity.
1:16 dying to know what cut out here
When did the video shoot?
Honestly I can't even remember. A few months ago?
Daniel Craig in Knives Out!
And look at the dental instruments 1800s.
u don't "just go with it" and meet with a serial killer to be handed one of their forks.
Liquid death how much percentage is that
They just have it in the office and we aren’t sponsored by them.
The well respected British poet and actor Benjamin Zephaniah turned down the honour because he did not want the words 'British Empire' added to his name, and it was an extremely honourable decision. Many other respected people also turned it down and for very respectable reasons.
It really wasn’t. He was an utterly ungrateful pillock who spat on the country that gave him his career.
Love Hugh Laurie, But, Jesus...
What?
Everything great except for Matt’s hat. Please lose it Hackie Stewart
He pulls it off!!
And the custard yellow T shirt, oh dear.
