Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry started their television career as a comedy duo in "A Little Bit of Fry & Laurie".
They have both gone on to other roles, including the "Jeeves and Wooster" series based on the books by P.G. Wodehouse; Stephen Fry's hosting of the British quiz show QI; and of course Hugh Laurie's brilliant role as Dr. Gregory House. To top it off, Fry and Laurie are best friends in real life.
This playlist celebrates all videos containing either or both of these fine gentlemen.
