Hugh Laurie praised for ‘baller' response to Dr House invitation
Hugh Laurie reportedly declined an invitation to revisit his role as Dr Gregory House, stating he "frankly doesn't care about the audience or reliving the show."
Dr Mikhail Varshavski said he had received the curt refusal after inviting Laurie onto his podcast, Doctor Mike, to discuss the role.
Episode guest Noah Wyle (ER 's Dr John Carter) called the response 'baller,' while Varshavski labelled it a 'direct and honest reply.'
Fans online noted the curt response was in character for the misanthropic Dr House, with one sharing a clip captioned: "Hugh Laurie embodied House in that moment."
The British actor and comedian, 66, played the cantankerous Dr House on the Fox medical drama series House from 2004 to 2012.

James Wade locked in another ‘FARTGATE' storm as disgusting act caught on live TV and called out by referee
JAMES WADE was involved in yet another dart 'fartgate' incident in Players Championship 17. The World No.10 kicked up a stink in a clash with fellow veteran star Peter Wright in Leicester. 3 Wade let rip during his 6-5 win over 'Snakebite' to reach the quarter-finals on Tuesday afternoon. Wright stepped back and laughed uncomfortably, but Wade's joke quickly backfired when the match caller told him the clash was being televised. Referee Owen Binks then informed the players: 'Oh boy, okay then… This is a streamed match guys.' Wade claimed: 'It slipped out.' And then added: 'Give it a second.' Wright thought it needed more than a second, though. And Wade tried to prompt him back onto the oche, saying: 'Go ahead. Do you want nine more arrows?' It's not the first time the 42-year-old has passed wind during a match. He did the same less than a year ago in September 2024, also at the Players Championship.

Wincey Willis dead aged 76: ITV's first female weather presenter and GMB icon passes away after health battle
A GOOD Morning Britain legend has died aged 76 after a battle with dementia. Wincey Willis, who etched her name in history as ITV's first female national weather presenter, sadly passed away following her health battle. 2 2 The TV icon died on December 18 last year but her death was only publicly announced this week. Willis joined Good Morning Britain in 1983, thanks to TV titan Greg Dyke. The trailblazing 34-year-old brought a fresh, animated take to the forecasts in a far more serious era. At the peak of her career, during the mid-80s, she featured on the game show Treasure Hunt alongside Anneka Rice. A contract dispute led Willis to resign from TV-am in 1987, after which her television career largely came to a halt. In the following years, she dedicated her time as a conservation volunteer aiding endangered species globally. Willis also hosted radio shows for BBC Coventry & Warwickshire and for BBC Hereford & Worcester.
