Sure, we've been bashing SN-Smell and NBC lately, but
this news offers a glimmer of hope for the anorexic
Saturday Night Live. Unlike most hosts, Hugh Laurie actually has a background in comedy and could theoretically write some of his own material. Is it foolish to hope we'll be spared the typical audience plant, "Oh hey, I didn't know you were British!" opening monologue antics in favour of an actual, you know, monologue? If not, Hugh's one host who I wouldn't mind to see singing instead of making jokes about car accidents (cough*DaneCook*cough). If you haven't ever experienced Hugh Laurie's lyrical stylings, check out season 1, episode two of
Jeeves and Wooster. Hidy hidy hidy ho, indeed.
In any case, this calls for a blogtastic countdown to Hugh's
SNL gig, which Jeanette and I will be DVR'ing because we're throwing a Halloween party that night. Yes, we're actually forgoing real time television. No, you're not invited.
So check back here throughout the month for Hugh-themed countdowns to October 28, AKA The Day Which Shall Live in Infamy. We'll post our favorite
House bon mots, photographs, and whatever else we feel like when we're too lazy to come up with an actual update.
COUNTDOWN STATUS: 24 DAYS UNTIL HUGH LAURIE HOSTS SNL

speaking of hugh laurie, at the gym a couple of weeks ago, i saw the episode of friends where he is sitting next to rache l on the plane when she is going to break up ross and emily's wedding.
best part is when he rips off his headphones an yells "you were on a break!"
thanks, hugh.
