Hugh Laurie's Hilarious Story of Working With A Lion | The Graham Norton Show 

JessiZ 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

LMFAOOOOOO 😂😂😂😂 LMFAOOOOOOOOO 😂😂😂😂 "So *youuuuuuuu*, so yOuUuUuU.... you've never been on the sHoW before!!" 😂

I was literally thinking the same! 😆

Me too 🤣

Not just me then, lol!

Thanks we did watch it

that is THE best joke I have heard in years 😂

@@TheAstroflight allegedly. and meanwhile andrew was NOT making pedo love on Epstein island... wink wink

@@TheAstroflight--Notice that NONE of those "women" stated that they were raped or filed a police report at the time/ The alleged events supposedly occurred during a time when women were NOT being shamed by defendants and lawyers as was true prior to the 1960s. The "swingers" era (Cosby's cohort was on the leading edge of it) was a free-wheeling time, coinciding with "sex and drugs and rock n roll". Those women were willing to trade sex for assistance with their careers. Keep that in mind.

That is a realy old joke.

She introduced Stephen Fry to Hugh Laurie at Cambridge. I think Rowan Atkinson was at Oxford around the same time. Imagine being "the funny guy" in your school and then you go to uni and meet the likes of them.

The episode 'Bambi' on the Young Ones TV show seems to encapsulate this perfectly.

Júlia Their body language would suggest otherwise. They both appear gaurded. Maybe for current spouses.

Thats why I was so hoping that when Emma said "I do that" Hugh had replied "I know" LOL

@@lnfreeman More a British thing then old☝🏽

Similarly, I never really got used to House not not sounding like Hugh

Always amazed me that House didn't sound like Wooster

I guess it's safe to say he literally comes from the pond.

trf12567 English accents are not higher than American ones, British people just tend to use more pitch. They usually have a more sing-song way of speaking, while Americans start sentences high, end them low and rarely deviate. Using a wider variety of pitches might give you the illusion it’s higher. I certainly tend to go higher when mimicking an American accent though, I tend to go for the whiney Valley-girl cliche

I first saw Hugh as the fop in Black Adder, so House was a total 180.

I think alcohol has to do with that, they feel like relieved with each sip they drink 🤭😁

Drinking or not…preferably drinking I love Graham and his show! He is the perfect talk show host! What a talented man!

Then WHY the sad face?

@@commandingnationsintl7792 - so people like you ask stupid questions.

@@jasonjackson5696 bazinga!

Hugh-gly talented man

A genius doctor

Which we will never see acting again... one should only... just like George Michael.. one song only

he is also a writer

Not even funny

@@mkr10001 you'll get it someday...reply for the over 60's

I dont get it.. ;=\

And I suppose she'd know whether he's Huge, if anyone does...

Souvik Mitra She is an international treasure. We must protect her at all costs. 🤣❤️

I read a story that they dated in college or something

@@Weegee766 I konw, that's why I noticed it :)

10/10 for that punchline. XD

I just spat a chocolate digestive all over my phone! Did not see that coming at all.

Such an old joke

I worked out the general answer as soon as he asked the question, but it was still funny 😂

@@moptopbaku6022 You'd never heard that story before and you were pretending it was an old joke because Hugh is more popular than you and you want to kiss him.

I love Blackadder! What a powerhouse cast. Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry.

blackadder is still one of my top five shows of all time

But when work in America.. one show and you will never ne heard of again😂😂😂

Nss Teja. Add Nanny McPhee and those days will triple for you😉👌🏽🤣

And Hugh has actually played Benedict Cumberbatch's (the other Sherlock) dad before.

Alternatively, Iron Man and Wooster xD

No, Mary poppins and the prince regent. Legends.

In that case - you need to get a life. . . .

The best ♥

I don't think I've ever seen him having so much fun.

Didn't even notice that he was there

He didn't laugh he clapped. Once.

@@steve17bf2 he laughed listen to it carefully...

Nehir Akın Whatever happens.....this tweet WILL be underrated.

It's never lupus.

oooh fuuu hahahahha

@@TheNyah5 Tweet? I'm on YT, not Twitter🙄🤔

suzawilo OMG, god forbid I‘ve used the wrong word.

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

@@ArmchairOps eh, apples to oranges. That's like saying the rolling stones outclass Eminem. It's just preference at that point.

Indeed, so lucky

If the punchline of the story is true, then this is an old South African joke too. Considering it was a South African handler, I would guess the guy used the punchline of that joke on Hugh. It is a joke about the safari survival guide on dangerous animals. It goes through two or 3 genuine sounding survival tips to throw you off the scent of it being a joke. Then the punchline is the Lion one.

@@jimmyeatsom3375 Thanks for that. Definitely has a 'ring' of truth to it!

о, русский

🤣😂🤣😂

Same thing, but with a mother shark teaching baby shark how to hunt humans, saying he needs to show his fin at least three times to the human before eating them :)

King?

Not funny

@@hobbitassassin1 Sounds like someone could use one/both of the aforementioned nouns.

Sounds like a man.

@@1.21Jigawatts Or maybe the poo would help.

No question

And trelawney

Best chat ever

Sherlock Holmes and Stuart Little's dad sounds better

@@yowaddup5649 Sherlock Holmes and Dr Gregory House sounds better.

House stark is formed.

I too like my lions recently sexed and well fed.

Sexed 😂

At the bottom of a hill, even.

Truth be told, "recently sexed and reasonably well fed" is the optimal state to work with any creature, even humans

If he'd been smart he would have specified the same working conditions for himself.

Sense and Sensibility?

@@mosart7025 yes

so are you saying his English accent sounds fake and terrible? lol

@@MrKijana23 My perception was he was an American doing an English accent. The fault is mine as I thought it was a bad impression when in reality it was supremely accurate.

British guy here. We grow up watching a huge amount of American television and movies so most of us can mimic an American accent pretty easily because we're so used to hearing it.

@@MrKijana23 That's what I thought, which is itself ridiculous!

@@fredfredburger5150 Having grown up with Monty Python my fake English accent sounds more Terry Jones dressed in drag ;)

Is it not Julie Andrews on the couch?

Line Bach ok😄, my mistake.

House is based on Sherlock Holmes, so in a way, there are two Sherlocks!

Plus he’s really funny, and gets the best out of his guests!

dr house is not with us

I like how his real voice is three octaves higher than his American accent.

@@jwhippet8313 I don't think that's on account of the accent, but rather the character he played.

J Whippet My wife noticed the same thing with the Welsh actor Matthew Rhys who used an American accent in “It’s a beautiful day”. That voice was at a lower octave then when he spoke with his native accent. Fascinating.

amal zuhair I do feel privileged that I got to know him and his work prior to House so I knew of (and could appreciate) his extra effort in that series on top of the rest of his performances in that series. Plus I avoided this schism you are feeling/describing which I totally understand.

I loved watching him... You can tell he hears alot of bs and was so pleasantly suprised by the punchline lol.. #worthit

​@@kkibelaAnd speaks a lot of bs as well.

1*. How is Thompson an icon of British comedy?

Hardly makes her an icon though

@@davebryant3716 Do any of you know the actual meaning of the word icon ?

Do you also need to be explained why things that are further away look a smaller?

I thought you meant Sherlock Holmes. House is based on Holmes.

​@@eggizgud And Holmes was inspired by an actual genius doctor. Go figure...

RAH RAH RAH, WE'RE GOING TO SMASH THE OIKS!
