HL on SNL (& let's pray for RSL)

[bironic]

Hugh Laurie to host Saturday Night Live on October 28.

Chances RSL will show up for an impromptu sketch?

Okay, slim to none, but I bet they'll do a House parody in which one of the SNL cast plays Wilson and maybe there will be, as TWOPpers would say, HoYay. Lots and lots of HoYay.

Regardless, it's sure to be a fun episode.

"Regardless, it's sure to be a fun episode."

For a change. SNL used to rock so hard. But now? :( I hope Hugh shows 'em a thing or two.

Me too, because the alternative -- an hour of "comedy" so uncomfortable to watch it'd rival his stint on Inside the Actor's Studio -- is too horrible to contemplate.

He strikes me as kind of an uncomfortable person in general. I think it's part of why I love him so much. He strikes me as the sort who can be charming as hell when conversation begins on his own terms, but things like interviews kind of freak him out a little. You know?

Yep, and I agree it's endearing, if difficult to witness. ('Course, RSL's awkwardness makes me squishier than Hugh Laurie's does.) Am hoping that since he probably feels at home with improv/sketch comedy, it'll come through on the show. On the other hand, he's just as likely to get teased for all the sex-symbol stuff, and then we're back into the discomfort zone.
