Hugh Laurie: TV Guide News

House's Hugh Laurie: "I Wouldn't Recommend Vicodin" | Today's News: Our Take | 3/11/2008
Hugh Laurie, the charming star of Fox's House, says he experimented with Vicodin to understand his character's addiction to the prescription painkiller. "I wouldn't recommend it," Laurie told Radio Times magazine, "but then again... if you're not in pain it gives a floaty, pleasurable feeling."Despite winning two Golden Globes and receiving a pair of Emmy nominations for the role of Dr. Gregory House, People reports that the self-deprecating British actor is his own toughest critic. "I don't... read more
Super Bowl: Game, House a hit. Ads? Nah. | Roush Dispatch | 2/4/2008
It's getting to be a bit of a cliché to walk away, exhausted, from the TV on Super Bowl Sunday and declare that the game was more memorable than the overhyped ads. That was certainly the case this year, when a low-scoring but high-tension match between the previously unbeaten Patriots and the underdog (and ultimately triumphant) Giants upstaged a parade of silly ads, only a few of which are likely to be remembered in a day or a week, let alone a year from now.Thankfully, the... read more
Jeers: American Idol Fumbles the Super Bowl | Cheers & Jeers | 2/3/2008
Jeers to Fox for allowing American Idol to tarnish its Super Bowl pre-game show. The network enlisted Ryan Seacrest to emcee insipid red-carpet coverage of celebrities arriving at the big game. He annoyingly referred to Hugh Laurie (who looked like he was being held at gunpoint to promote House's supercool post-Super Bowl episode) as "Dr. House." Have a little respect, Ryan — the guy's an award-winning actor, not Urkel! Then Paula Abdul debuted her new single, "Dance Like There's No... read more
Playing Favorites: Ellen Bumps Oprah from No. 1 Spot | Today's News: Our Take | 1/15/2008
Leaping seven spots from a year ago, Ellen DeGeneres has claimed the top spot on a Harris Poll of favorite television personalities. In doing so, Ellen unseated Oprah Winfrey from the No. 1 position the queen of talk has held for five consecutive years.With the big O playing runner-up, the Harris Poll's top five (as voted on by 1,171 U.S. adults) was rounded out by Tonight Show host Jay Leno, House's Hugh Laurie (the only scripted series star to make the top 10) and Daily Show anchor Jon... read more
SAG Goes Mad for Men | Roush Dispatch | 12/20/2007
I suppose I could dwell on the fact that a major Hollywood guild has once again ignored the very existence of TV's finest acting ensemble, Friday Night Lights — in favor of the mugging and posturing on Boston Legal. As they'd say on another SAG favorite, Grey's Anatomy: Seriously? Is it wrong to want to form our own picket line?Also: What's up with snubbing Pushing Daisies and its fantastical cast?And yet the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, announced Thursday morning, did shower... read more
New Blood at the Globes | Roush Dispatch | 12/13/2007
If the barometer of an interesting TV awards show is the number of fresh faces invited to the party, then the Golden Globe nominations (announced Thursday morning) passes the test. Not with a perfect score, mind you. Any institution that so completely ignores NBC's wonderful Friday Night Lights deserves some spirited jeering.And the Globes' addiction to sexy sizzle and hype can lead to some puzzling choices: Big Love, fun as it is, over The Sopranos' final season? Bill Paxton over James... read more
Lisa Edelstein Spills Hot House Secrets | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/20/2007
You couldn't ask for a better foil for the crabby, compelling leading man on House (Tuesday at 9 pm/ET, Fox) than his boss. Cuddy doesn't take House's nonsense and she knows how to keep him in check ? more or less. Plus, the sizzling chemistry between Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein keeps the dialogue fresh enough to warrant a slap on the cheek. Edelstein talked about Cuddy's sex life, her relationship with House and those racy outfits she loves to wear. TVGuide.com: House has been so busy ... read more
House Star Laurie: "Depression" Prompted Getaway | Today's News: Our Take | 10/31/2007
The demands of playing doctor on one of TV's biggest hits is taking its toll on Hugh Laurie, and in part prompted him to abruptly duck out of production last week and hop across the pond to his home. As the actor shares with Sydney's Daily Telegraph, "You do a pilot and of the very few picked up, only about a quarter go to a second year. So I thought, 'I'll have three fun weeks.' I never thought I'd be here three and a half years later." Though Laurie says he and his wife and kids in the U.K.... read more
House Still in Order Even as Hugh Races Home | Today's News: Our Take | 10/26/2007
Production on Fox's House on Thursday had to abruptly be rescheduled when series star Hugh Laurie hopped on a plane home to England. The actor, who since the show's launch has lived apart from his wife and kids, "had family obligations... to attend to, but production is continuing in his absence," a studio rep tells the Hollywood Reporter. "The producers said that he asked for time off, and they were happy to facilitate it."A spokesperson for Laurie says he is expected back at work Monday. read more
Ask Matt | 10/19/2007
Recently you've been letting the world know how great a show Dexter is. I think Hugh Laurie is incredible in House, but if Michael C. Hall doesn't win an Emmy for dramatic male performance, I have to believe that Emmy voters have never themselves acted. The man is a revelation. What I want to talk about, though, is Brotherhood, the show that follows Dexter. No one ever talks about it, even though it is better than 98 percent of all other television shows, from Annabeth Gish's powerful ... read more
Ask Matt | 10/15/2007
First of all, I want to thank you for all that you do. It's wonderful to have a sane voice in this crazy world of television (especially when it comes to the Emmys). I agree with practically all of your insights (though I'll admit that I'm a Dwight fan) and I appreciate your recommendations. I just started the first season of Dexter and I have to say that I'm blown away. It's an amazing show, and though House is still my favorite, Michael C. Hall is giving Hugh Laurie a run for his money. Maybe... read more
House Goes to Extremes to See What Happens After We Die | House | 10/10/2007
Episode Recap: "97 Seconds"Wow — despite House & co. losing not one but two Patients of the Week (plus a really sweet pooch), this was one memorable episode. And as usual, it's all because of House: this time, he was testing the boundaries of life itself, to see what — if anything — there is beyond death. To diagnose POTW 1, the guy with incurable Spinal Muscular Atrophy (and to further reduce the number of intern candidates), House splits up the remaining contestants by... read more
Let's Talk House! How Will Dr. House Torture the Wannabe Interns? | House | 9/26/2007
The persnickety doctor might think he doesn't need Foreman, Chase and Cameron, but we know better. Looking forward to seeing how he struggles to solve medical mysteries without those trusty interns – and how he breaks in the new batch. What's your take? Will the would-be interns rise to the occasion? And will Dr. House learn a little humility? (Not likely!) I'll be back after the show with my full recap. Until then, let's get the conversation started! read more
Do You Have Any Burning Questions About House? | TVGuide.com Asks.... | 9/21/2007
NO MORE QUESTIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.As high-sterical as the Hugh Laurie interview in the new issue of TV Guide is, it may have left you wondering a thing or two about the new season of House. As part of an upcoming TV Guide Network special, we're going to have some of the folks over at the Fox series answer several of your "burning questions, as submitted here in this blog.As always, we ask that you limit yourself to two questions per user. read more
Ask Matt | 9/21/2007
I have really been impressed by this season of The 4400 and I fear that it is being ignored. I'm tired of shows not getting the attention and recognition they deserve just because of the network they're on. Honestly, who cares about the network? While I doubted the fate of the show last year and wasn't even sure whether I would return as a viewer, this season has more than proved me wrong, with spectacular writing, acting and plot development. Even when I thought I couldn't be more impressed,... read more
Examining Hugh Laurie | TV Guide Magazine Cover Story | 9/19/2007
I've been a friend of Hugh Laurie's for 20 years. He calls me "Rock," the nickname he gave me in the early '90s, when I was script editor on the BBC TV comedy series A Bit of Fry and Laurie. (My mountainous complexion? My rocklike dependability?) I call him "Hugh." If I had to come up with a nickname for him, though, I'd probably go for "Gifto." He's a talented actor, comedian, scriptwriter, novelist, piano player and sportsman. He has a brilliant and unusual mind. He's ferociously precise. ... read more
Emmys: Bravo to Winners, Boo to Show | Roush Dispatch | 9/17/2007
And some people worried that getting Ryan Seacrest to host this year’s Emmy telecast was going to be the producers’ worst idea. That’s before we got a look at the set, an unwieldy and unappealing theater-in-the-round setup that looked more suitable for the new American Gladiators revival than for an awards show. The nominees, half of whom saw only the backs of the various presenters and performers, had a deer-in-the-headlights look every time Seacrest approached them or the... read more
At the 2007 Emmys: Part 1 | TV Matt'rs | 9/14/2007
Friday, Sept. 14, 8:21 am/ETAs you may have surmised by Ben Katner's byline on Friday's Today's News blog, I am en route to the Emmys in the Los Angeles of the California. Seat 23F, two nice nonsmelly ladies sitting next to me, waiting for the plane to pull away from the gate. Window seat. No dents in the wing — always a good sign in my book. The flight attendant is giving that spiel about, "If you are not headed to Los Angeles...," where I always expect (but never get) some poor sap... read more
Exclusive: ER Doc to Make a House Call | Ausiello Report | 9/5/2007
One thing you can say for Princeton Plainsboro: Understaffing is not an issue. Although House's hospital already has hired five new doctors to make the rounds this season, former ER M.D. Michael Michele has just been tapped to scrub in as well.Now, before you go getting your stethoscope in a knot about your favorites being left to simmer on the back burner, you need to know that the knockout isn't coming in as a series regular. Well, at this point, anyway. What happens is, Doc Crankypants meets... read more
Hugh Downer: Why Emmys Didn't Make a House Call | Today's News: Our Take | 9/4/2007
Hugh Laurie as Emmys host? Pinch me. Alas, it wasn't meant to be, though TV's crankiest doc made the short list. A source tells the awards-show mecca GoldDerby.com that Laurie actually was several Fox execs' early No. 1 choice to emcee the kudos-cast, and that a standoff between the House star's supporters and those who instead wanted Ryan Seacrest is what delayed the reveal of the host choice. In the end, the powers-that-be believed A) Idol's frontman would bring in a larger audience, and B)... read more
Sneak Peek: House Breaks In New Docs | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 8/28/2007
What happens when you have 40 medical-fellowship candidates competing for three coveted staff jobs at one famous hospital? If you're Dr. House (Hugh Laurie), you let them battle it out reality-show style until every last ounce of their dignity is gone. Season 4 of the Emmy-winning Fox series kicks off Sept. 25 with House putting a gaggle of fellows to the test just to watch them squirm (he even makes them wear numbers). "It's classic House sadistic behavior," says executive producer David ... read more
Hugh Laurie on His Accent | TV Guide News Report | 7/23/2007
The recent influx of British actors onto American TV series may be creating a booming business for dialect coaches in Hollywood. But Hugh Laurie, star of Fox's House, told the Television Critics Association press tour that he no longer depends on one. The rigorous schedule of U.S. TV production makes it counterproductive. "I tried it and didn't find it awfully helpful," he said. "There simply is no time to reflect how you would say encephalopathy as an American." — Reporting by Stephen... read more
Lights Out at the Emmys | Roush Dispatch | 7/19/2007
Remember how Charlie Brown used to end up on his back every time he went to kick the football after Lucy pulled it away? Well, that was me, in the pre-dawn of Thursday morning at the TV Academy building in North Hollywood, as the first Emmy category (for best drama series) was read aloud. Amid a gaggle of impatient media crews and anxious publicists, I once again felt sucker-punched by the cluelessly inexplicable whims of the Emmy nomination process. (Go here for a list of nominees.)The... read more
May 29, 2007: It's Tuesday | House | 5/30/2007
It wasn't the most exciting finale I've ever seen. It was subtle yet managed to surprise with a twist: House was left with no ducklings on his payroll. But even that move raised only my eyebrow and not my heart rate — as, say, last season's finale did.First of all, House fired Chase. Just when I started to like him. I blame Wilson. He's always buzzing in House's ear about this or that. Now it's about House and his fear of change. Next thing you know Chase has no job. Nice work, James. Then... read more

May 15, 2007: The Jerk | House | 5/16/2007
Just ask him to stay already! Am I the only one who wanted to reach through the screen and scream this at House? Foreman wants to stay, House wants him to stay, but they are both too stubborn to make that happen without the other asking for that privilege. Men. The funny thing is, Foreman is leaving because he doesn't want to turn into House, yet here he is acting just like the man. Methinks it's time for a little self-reflection, Eric.How funny was this week's patient? Nate, played with... read more
May 8, 2007: Resignation | House | 5/9/2007
As you can imagine, given last week's resignation, this week's show spent a lot of time on the Foreman question. Will he or won't he stay, or does he just want House to ask him to stay? Then of course there's the "will House ask him to stay?" question. Enough already! I'm approaching House's level of annoyance with Foreman's existential crisis. "I want to be a really great doctor like you, but only if I can be nice, too!" I'm not knocking friendly patient care, but House is who he is and... read more
May 1, 2007: Family | House | 5/2/2007
Timing really is everything. Could Matty (Dabir Snell), on the verge of donating his life-saving bone marrow to Nick (Jascha Washington), his leukemia-stricken brother, have picked a worse time to get sick? Sure, it wasn't Matty's fault that his house was built on chicken droppings and that he played in dirt filled with gross bacteria that infected him with hystoplasmosis. But still, tick tock. Nick's got four days to live and Matty needs to be healthy to be a donor. What's worse is that it's... read more
At the Movies: Good Night for House's Hugh Laurie | Today's News: Our Take | 5/1/2007
Per Variety, Hugh Laurie and Chris Evans (Fantastic Four) are set to play internal affairs agents in Night Watch, a James Ellroy-penned crime drama about a downward-spiraling cop (Keanu Reeves) framed by his onetime mentor (Forest Whitaker)....

April 24, 2007: House Training | House | 4/25/2007
I think it's safe to say that tonight's show was a bit of a downer. If the unnecessary death of Lupe (Monique Gabriela Curnen), a young, economically depressed woman, doesn't convince you of that, then maybe the presence of Foreman's Alzheimer-stricken mother (Beverly Todd) will. Lupe entered the hospital exhibiting all sorts of worrisome symptoms that baffled the doctors. At Foreman's insistence they treated her to a dosage of full-body radiation to kill the suspected cancer. But only after... read more

But I'm back at work now with a recap in hand and though it's a couple of days late hopefully you won't find it to be a dollar short.

April 10, 2007: Airborne | House | 4/11/2007
Tonight House and Cuddy are trapped on an 18-hour flight when a mysterious illness breaks out and passengers start up-chucking their dinner and breaking out in curiously artistic rashes. Even Cuddy succumbs and if her worst fears are correct it's bacterial meningitis and they'll all be dead by the time the plane lands. Thank goodness there's a board certified infectious disease specialist on the plane who can save the day or at least declare that there's nothing really wrong. And that was my... read more
April 3, 2007: Fetal Position | House | 4/4/2007
It is often the scenario on House that there is no middle ground for doctors between complete objectivity and total emotionalism, though in real life I think such a place exists. When celebrity photographer Emma Sloan (Anne Ramsay), self-diagnoses a stroke and ends up in Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital under House's care, you immediately notice a spark between doctor and patient and just as quickly House finds himself struggling to stay unmoved by his patient and her unborn child.Emma,... read more

Does it ever happen to you that when someone asks, What's your favorite movie… song… whatever, you cannot arrive at an answer? And though you had one moments before, their questioning has left you completely blank? Happens to me all the time. But I have a feeling that were one now to ask me if I had a favorite episode of House, I just might have an answer. Tonight's smartly told episode was so embarrassingly full of the good stuff that I fear I'm on the verge of gushing. From... read more

March 6, 2007: Half-wit | House | 3/7/2007
I'm listening to Dave Matthews as I'm writing this commentary and I’m the teensiest bit disappointed that his role on House tonight was so limited. However, since he is a professional musician and not an actor, maybe it's best that he not stray too far afield. The only other acting I've seen him do was in Because of Winn-Dixie, a movie I recently viewed at the behest of fellow TV Guide blogger Jennifer Sankowski. Honestly, the role was similar, and Matthews was quite good in both. How... read more

What do you get when you put a man who's in constant pain with a girl who can't feel any? A great episode. It's only natural that House would be drawn to Mika Boorem's Hannah, a teenage girl who suffers from an insensitivity to pain. To House, she is like the Holy Grail — a thing of unattainable beauty and not just because she's a cute blonde but because within her lies a potential cure from constant agony. If only his conscience, also known as Wilson, would let him biopsy Hannah's spinal... read more
Sweeps Watch: Gilmore Review, Bones Preview | Roush Dispatch | 2/7/2007
A warm thought for the deep chill of winter: Even in the doldrums of a miserable season, Gilmore Girls proves that it’s still capable of greatness. This week’s episode returned to its core, the electrifying dynamic among three generations of Gilmore women, balancing humor with searing flashes of drama in an episode incomparably illuminated by the welcome return of Kelly Bishop’s imperious, hilarious, monstrous yet ultimately oh-so-human Emily Gilmore.It seems like ages since... read more
February 6, 2007: Needle in a Haystack | House | 2/7/2007
The parade of young patients continues this week as Foreman leads the charge in treating a teenager whose Romany heritage impedes his medical treatment. Secretive and suspicious of the world, Stevie (Jake Richardson) and his family refuse unproven treatment — their kind have been experimented on before — choosing instead their own homeopathic treatment for Stevie's ailment. Seeing a bit of himself in Stevie, Foreman takes a special interest in his scientifically inclined patient,... read more
January 30, 2007: One Day, One Room | House | 1/31/2007
I tried. I really did try to like this episode. Having narrowly escaped jail time due to Cuddy's perjured testimony, House is on clinic duty big time. He, of course, hates it. After a parade of uninteresting patients, most of which fear they have an STD but don't, House finds himself in close quarters with Eve (Katheryn Winnick), a chlamydia-ridden, pregnant rape victim. Feeling out of his league (and bored by this straightforward case), House tries to remove himself from the situation, but Eve... read more

Yes, that was my shout of glee that woke up the neighbors Sunday night when Chandra Wilson was named outstanding female actor in a drama series for Grey’s Anatomy. At long last, Miranda Bailey has been given her due, and the wonderful Ms. Wilson rose to the occasion with a rapturous acceptance speech, acknowledging how unlikely it would be for someone with her skin, her nose, her height, her weight, to be accepted in this industry.

All the flowing wine seemed to have loosened and thickened nearly everyone’s tongue, resulting in long speeches that combined with a sluggish pace and an epic number of ads to push the show beyond the 11 pm/ET cutoff time.

What's worse is that Derek believes her to be in love with his brother (Jason George). Such is the curse of Broken Heart... read more

Viewers have been vocal about their dislike of the Tritter ( David Morse) story line, pointing specifically to his seemingly unlimited powers. "It's unrealistic," they scream. In real life, there's no way a cop would be able to freeze bank accounts and impound cars and whatever else Tritter has done. But that's the kicker, isn't it? And that's why I haven't been all that bothered by Tritter's boundless powers. If we are going to hold dramas to the standards of reality, then we'll all end up... read more
November 28, 2006: Finding Judas | House | 11/29/2006
Six-year-old Alice (Alyssa Shafer) develops gallstones and then a nasty rash that defies any medical explanation that the team can discover. On the brink of an arm- and leg-amputation, Chase makes the diagnosis that Alice is allergic to light — only to get a right hook to the nose from a cranky House. So now our drug-addled hero is attacking his staff. What does this mean? House is no longer a functioning addict. He couldn't even make the diagnosis. Granted, he is technically undergoing... read more
November 21, 2006: Whac-a-Mole | House | 11/22/2006
We felt his presence, though we didn't see him at all this week. Tritter has put the squeeze on House through his friend and colleagues. Being the friend, Wilson got the worst of it. He's had his car impounded, and the DEA revoked his prescription-writing privileges — to which House responded, "Who's going to prescribe my Vicodin?" That's just the tip of House's self-absorbed iceberg. Wilson is no longer of any use as a pusher, so of course House hit up his staff for Vicodin. Quick: Who... read more
November 14, 2006: Son of Coma Guy | House | 11/15/2006
Stunt casting. Vegetative-state man awakes and wants a steak. Ah, yes, it must be sweeps. I'm a little bit disappointed that it wasn't Coma Guy whom House roused from sleep. But given the way the show ended — John Larroquette's character dying to save his son's life — I was relieved that our long-standing friend is still with us. Wilson summed up the show best: "Caustic Guy was waking up Coma Guy." To be more specific, House injected Gabe (Larroquette), against Cuddy's wishes, with... read more
