I love Hugh. He is such an intelligent and talented man.

Is it just me, or is it remarkable how well Hugh Laurie did his American accent back when he did the show? Hearing his native accent, aging a bit, and growing a beard, you would never guess he played Dr. House.

"... and they're late." Brilliant, funny, and very accurate!

The passage of time is a thing that happens to us all, but it's still so weird to watch old episodes of Blackadder and see how much older Prince George has gotten.

American fans of Hugh Laurie really need to see Hugh Laurie's British TV shows and plays from the 1980s-1990s. That time in his career was so formative for him.

Hugh Laurie - doing his best David Letterman impression.

Honestly wouldn't mind if Hugh Laurie was a nightly guest on the show, dude's hilarious.

[OriginalGabriel]

Having been introduced to him via House, it's so odd to see him as himself; it's like I'm watching him play a character. Such a great actor

[Dr_Analise]

I half expected the walking stick .. hahaha

[akdas]

It really breaks heart to see our favourite person getting old!

The first thing i’ll notice when a guest comes in is if he or she will greet the band. That’s how i’ll know if they’re down to earth or not. Some guests treat the band like props and don’t acknowledge them.
Hugh is class act.

[tonamiller]

Laurie is so talented with his quick British wit, his acting, and top all that with his music. ( Favorite being the New Orleans blues) That Colbert can ad lib like no other!! Love to see these two together more often. Now that he is back! Welcome.

Hugh Laurie is looking lovely as always ❤

Knowing that Stephan Fry is his best friend tells you everything you need to know about this brilliant man.

[atlehassum]

That is the best description of New York City from an outsider's perspective I've ever heard! Thank you, Hugh!

[Engelhafen]

I loved him originally in Laurie and Fry and Jeeves

[Tyler]

I love this man, its crazy to hear his real voice still..His acting is amazing, his snarky House voice in perfect American accent..I was shocked when I first found out he wasn't American..this man is a treasure.

Jon and Stay Human played New Orleans Swing Jazz for Hugh, because he's a religious connoisseur of New Orleans Blues and Jazz and has played many shows with Allen Toussaint!

[NimsChannel]

Can't believe they had on Hugh. Laurie, and didn't have him as their musical guest.
