House in Quahog
I got VERY excited the other night when two of my favourite TV shows of all time merged together. Well, not quite merged but Hugh Laurie did make his second guest appearance in the fabulous “Family Guy” - and this time he was playing Gregory House!
The first time Laurie was seen on the streets of Quahog, Rhode Island he was playing a very upper class British patron of an English theme pub that had opened in the town, so it was great to see him and his (excellent but fake) American accent returning to the show. The writers even had him mocking the fact that he had to learn how to speak with a US accent when House suddenly started speaking in Laurie’s normal voice, moaning that he hated having to speak like an American…
I immediately shut down the www.lansonrunning.com website I had on my laptop (in a bid to start another new exercise regime…) and got straight onto the House fan site. Of course, the place was buzzing as I wasn’t the only one to have seen our hero back on the small screen. Albeit in cartoon form!
Of course, an outstanding actor and comedian like Hugh Laurie has made plenty of guest appearances in his time, including many on the US comedy institution Saturday Night Live, and a small role in one of The Simpsons'many Halloween specials, but the Family Guy one will always be my favourite; after all, it was really House making the appearance, not Hugh!
