Is it really "that" Stephen (be still my beating heart) Fry?? Him?? Yes, I know he's gay .... I couldn't possibly care less. I am still hopelessly in love with the man.

OMG, OMG ... O.M.G!!! It is him. Oh, what can I say but WOW!! I don't think I have ever in my entire life been quite so impressed. I know it sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not!!

yes.

thus my palpitations.

lilac_jive · 12-31-2008, 03:37 PM

Ok, yes, I'll admit it, I had to google him.

1) HE KNOWS HUGH LAURIE!! I know it is not normal for a 25 year old to think a 60 year old man is sexy, but damn, he is
2) AND I know him from Bones, where he played a wonderfully clever shrink

zelda_pinwheel · 12-31-2008, 03:41 PM

yes, you could say that fry & laurie have a long and glorious history together.

one of my favorite bits :

RickyMaveety · 12-31-2008, 03:51 PM

Not to mention (so I will) the work they did together in the Blackadder series. Well worth watching.

Yes, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie had a show together on the BBC years back. They sometimes show it here in the states. It is blindingly funny. I think it's called "A Little Fry and Laurie" .... watch for it.

yes, actually we could probably list their brilliant collaborations all day. and that's before we even get into his solo career. or his work as an author.

it's called 'a bit of fry and laurie" and that's where the sketch is from. a truly brilliant series. don't drink tea (or any liquid at all) while you're watching it.
