Pointless trivia: I didn't know it at the time, but in the episode of Friends where Rachel is flying to England to stop Ross's wedding, Hugh is the passenger sitting next to her who tells her she's a horrible person. (And he is right.)

And he says "from what it sounds like, you were on a break"

Cue Rachel letting out a shock 'Ah'.

I remember it too.

I was going to post this a while back, but I'm pretty certain it's a dupe of this: http://www.videosift.com/video/All-We-Gotta-Do-Is-Hugh-Laurie-Sings

It's a different performance but an identical song.

There's a precedence. Different performance, so it can't stay. Hey Zeph, thanks for the plug

He performed it on SNL when he hosted-- very funny night.

oops, I meant to say CAN stay. sorry

Well all the people here should vote on yours too. This one has 3 times as many votes!

damnit I agree!

Yowsers... posted this on Friday before I went home from work and now I see it at number 2... my best performer... why thankyou Hugh... thankyou indeed.

I shall now go and vote for yours as well swampgirl, sorry, didn't see yours on the sift before I posted this

Thanks for finding that Eklek, I was wondering what happened (never really got into Friends).

Here's the segment after the break:

It sounds like "The Weight" from The Band.

I thought this was brilliant, heh, his comic timing is great!

Second bit of pointless trivia for you :

Appartently when he auditioned for "House" some poeple heard his american accent and thought he was american....

Did not realise he was a british comic (cant remember where I heard this)

^ yep. i remember co-creator/director Bryan Singer telling that story, z.

^ Ahh, yes, thats the one
