Hugh Laurie at the 2006 Emmys 

As a real French who studied English at college I have to say that this translation is amazing even a French would translate this as well as Hugh Laurie ! And his accent is definitely breathtaking!!!

You can even tell after the "Poof! Cinque" that she's having a hard time keeping a straight face. Great awards intro, better than most by far.

I love how he says, "Yes, Dame" (as in Dame Helen Mirren) rather than any other title or endearment (ma'am, et al). It was respectful and hilarious, especially after her admonishment to "read it properly this time". I adore Hugh Laurie.

Haha "Poof! Cinq."

He is my favorite actor for a reason... this being one of the many. Hugh Laurie

I keep giggling that he says "Monsieur Laurie et moi-meme..."

Hugh Laurie is comedic genius and I love him in this clip but it’s Helen Mirren’s facial expressions that kill me. This was great

HUGHLAURIOUS!

Even if he wasn't truly speaking french, I would have believed every word coming from him. He is the master at masking his real voice with other accents.

This is hilarious and deserved bigger laughs than the audience gave.

Dr. House gave the award to his future psychiatrist. Nice! :D

Holy cow. I came because it was Hugh Laurie presenting an award. I didn't expect to see the outstanding Andre Braugher win. It's the greatest bonus!!!

XD I love Hugh Laurie. That was actually hilarious. I LOOOOVE his show House. XD AND I think he's gorgeous. GO HUGH!

i've watched this a number of times. can't get enough

Laurie has so much talent. Excellent video!

Accept for "Pouf! Cinq" it was all quite accurate :) I love how he speaks french too ;)

This just made Hugh Laurie THAT much more amazing :D

Hugh Laurie is a sort of God. He's brilliant as an actor, as a doctor and as a francophon British person.

Born and raised in Oxford, studied at Eton and Cambridge. Champion rower, author, musician, and (as we all know) talented actor.

j'aime hugh laurie! il me fait rire la chaque fois je le vois. c'est vraiment, la vidéo vraiment drôle (évidemment!). [:

they're both amazing.

Not afraid to look stupid/ funny love that about Hugh!

Trés bien Hugh! Vous l'avez fait encore une fois. I'm not really french, but I did it because I can

i love hugh laurie! the guy can do anything! he's just brilliant!

Love it!

Hugh cracks me up!!!

Hugh Laurie kicks ass! French is so cool!

Pouf cinq! I loved watching this. It makes me think of all his old comedy stuff. :)

I agree with you. I love his comic delivery, I seen all his speeches and all the shows his presented or gotten awarded, and his comedic timing is fabulous. So natural which is why is funny and he does not need to swear a million times... Like some other comics out there.

Il est parfait!! Superbe!

She`s wearing a beautiful dress!

i SERIOUSLY love french...this is awesome

Thanks:)

So funny !! He has a very good French accent, myself being French ! I love this actor :D Go Hugh !!

BRILLIANT!

@Orinturify : Do you speak French? Because it's really funny as he didn't know the french word for winnowing he just said it but with a French accent. And then he translated a whole phrase ("literally hundreds... to meager list of just five") into just "poof, cinq". Otherwise, his French is superb. I simply adore Hugh Laurie!

j'adore son accent, c'est vraiment trop mignon. Ce mec est génial.

j'adore HUGH LAURIE

Il est trop fort ! Un monument ! He's great !

omg i'm in love!

Charles Dance was just wonderful in Bleak House!!!

Just love. Genius.

The chunnel is the nickname for the Channel Tunnel that connects England and France.

hes definitly a diffrent breed of actor

De ....Winnowing.... best face ever!!!!

This guy is just incredible XD I love this particular sense of humor =D

Amazing

When it was being constructed, the Chanel tunnel was nicknamed the Chunnel.

The very small type of fish is a Minnow with an M, like the Minnow nations in Rugby. Winnowing is a method of separating grain from chaff when harvesting wheat. In this case they were separating the grain of the good actors from the chaff of the lesser actors.

the best

I LOVE his mock-French!

loved the 'winnowing'

he's the coolest guy, genius!

aha ! years ! :D

Hugh Laurie is amazing

ho je l'aime trop hugh laurie dans dr house il me fait trop rire en plus il parle super bien français bravo !!!!

There's an episode of House that Hugh has to say some words in br portuguese. It was so cool, I don't know why do we get so exited when these things happen haha

it's fantastic!:D

it's quite astonished, his french is nearly perfect !

I was born in Los Angeles and it's where I live, but I have friends and family in France and I went to France for a few months (more like lived there since I went to school and everything). The point is I'm not french, but I know french.

this is awsome !!!

You may know english, but your grammer is impeccable, good sir.

hugh is purely amazing. nuff said.

Nice to see Laurie do comedy again!

As his American accent, his french accent is very, very good....with good pronounciation at the right moment. French is not an easy language for anglo-saxons...

perfect

he is from england but he can speak without the british accent that's really good.... when he send his video to the casting of dr. house they didn't know that he is from englan dthey thought he's american awesome i love him

a winnow is a very small type of fish, and from that the verb has arisen meaning to cut something down to a small size

he's just soooo funny !!

He's good! The "r" is too rough, but it makes it even funnier.

don't know if anyone mentioned this, but it's definitely the golden globes. I love Hugh!

blijft altijd eve irritant of ie nou als house speelt of neit echt geweldig die man ^^

this guy is so funny I love him

I love it !! I understand all it's so funny !

Enoorme, il gère trop!!!

I want to thank the word "um," for making up half this acceptance speech.

days...:D

génial!

I swear everything time I see this i'm cracking up. De winnowing! haha

Hugh Laurie, your the best! - Danish fan :)

Andre Braugher did a fantastic job playing Bayard Ellis on Law and Order SVU. Very underrated if you ask me. Why did he ignore Helen? Most of been nervous.

Rip. Captain Holt!😢

the French accent is great lol almost makes me wann learn it just so i can confuse my friends

i love this!!!!! ive probably watched about 20 times!!!!!!

Here here

what a great french accent, i'm impressed actually!!!!!!!

ahh...ic. thanks for that! ;)

The way Helen reacts the third time 😂😂😂😂😂

Hugh Laurie is gorgeous! So funny and charming! I can't stop laughing with this video..!

Please let him win this year!

He's very well at french !! Believe me I'm french and it was perfect ! 1 word maybe 2 were not very good but it was so great ^^!!
