Hugh Laurie And “House”

Lynne Kiesling

Lest Megan McArdle think that she is the only person missing “House” on Fox while abroad, let me chime in. I enjoy Hugh Laurie immensely in every role he has ever played, the writing on this show is sardonic and good, and Robert Sean Leonard, woof. I’ve always had a hankering for him. So I’m missing it while abroad too, although I have to say that I’ve done a pretty pathetic job of catching it at home too. Have to wait for the DVDs…

But this quote on the House website made me chuckle:

Chase-“You can trust me.”

House-“The problem is, if I can’t trust you, I can’t trust your statement that I can trust you. But thanks, you’ve been a big help.”

-Mob Rules

Aaaaah, makes the game theorist in me very happy!

What brought this to my mind was tonight, while eating dinner in my apartment, I was watching some Fry & Laurie as Jeeves & Wooster from P.G. Wodehouse. What good fun!
