Hugh Laurie Roasts Viral Social Media Critic of ‘House’: “I Look Forward to Your First Novel!”

Perhaps Hugh Laurie wasn’t acting all that much while playing Dr. Gregory House?

The 10-time Emmy-nominated British actor got a little bit tetchy after a social media user critiqued his show, the enduringly popular medical drama House.

In a viral tweet, freelance journalist Janet Murray opined that the Universal Television-produced House was all rather formulaic and repetitive, to wit, episodes would follow the pattern of: “Patient has mysterious illness. Hugh Laurie (House) gets diagnosis wrong. Patient nearly dies.”

Then: “Hugh Laurie gets diagnosis wrong again. Gets threatened with being fired. Patient nearly dies again.”

And finally: “Hugh Laurie has last minute leftfield idea. Gets diagnosis right. Doesn’t get fired.”
