PatrickDay: Hello and welcome to our live chat with "House" star Hugh Laurie. Hugh isn't here yet, so feel free to hang out and chat amongst yourselves.

Tom O'Neil: HI HUGH

Tom O'Neil: Are you an ace typist?

Hugh Laurie
I type about 4 wpm - bear with me....

Tom O'Neil:
Are you frustrated by the Emmys? At the Globes you've won twice already, but keep in mind that the Emmys have a delayed reaction. It took Mary Tyler Moore, Carol O'Connor, Kiefer Sutherland and many others years before they finally won.

Hugh Laurie
Not frustrated by the Emmys at all. Great to be considered, and so on...

Tom O'Neil:
Hugh, tell us why you chose the episode you did to submit to Emmy judges. It's always interesting for us to hear what nominees think when they make those choices.

Hugh Laurie
Lucky. very lucky. I still feel proud of some of the things we do. We don't get it all right, by any means, but it's enough to make me puff my chest out when no ones looking

Hugh Laurie
Hi Tom - I actually put the episode choice in the hands of others - I'm not good at watching myself, and worse at knowing what people like or are impressed by, so I canvassed opinion and let it roll

Tom O'Neil:
Hugh, let me pass off to the posters here -- respond to their questions, pls

[Comment From Greg Maragos]
Mr. Laurie, are you a fan of the Dr. Who TV show? I, for one, would LOVE to see you as Dr. Who in a movie. Would you play that role if they offered it to you?

Hugh Laurie
Got it

[Comment From Andrew]
Do you have a favorite episode of House?

Hugh Laurie
I also love Dr Who. Grew up with it. I'd play anything that involved less than five hours in the make up chair

[Comment From Zap2it]
Zap2it.com users just voted you Best Doctor and Best Antihero. Seems kind of oxymoronic. What do you think?

Hugh Laurie
Maybe, but a good oxymoron, no? oxycool

[Comment From tania]
what is your favorite episode of dr house?

Hugh Laurie
Not sure about episodes. I haven't seen them all yet. But I have favourite moments...

Hugh Laurie:
Love doing voice work. Wear your own clothes (if you want) and read from a script

[Comment From Meera from Singapore]
Hi Hugh! Do you ever google yourself?

Hugh Laurie:
I have googled myself. I don't recommend it. Googling yourself I mean. Not me.

[Comment From Jon I.]
Are you still in touch with Stephen Fry? You 2 are hilarious together

Hugh Laurie:
See Stephen a lot - hope he'll be coming over to LA soon

Tom O'Neil:
Hugh, you chose "Under My Skin" as your Emmy episode. What are your thoughts about your performance in it?

Hugh Laurie:
Tom, I let others choose - much better that way - I don't know about my performance - try not to think about it....

[Comment From Flo]
Are you still writing songs, like Mystery and other masterpieces;)?

Tom O'Neil:
OK, I'll letcha off the hook on this

Emma Thompson would be so great on House! Please get her to guest!

H obsesses over cooking the way he obsesses over everything else

[Comment From jo in London]
How did you come to write cuddy's serenade. Does house play piano differently to you?

Hugh Laurie:
Hm Obviously H can't play things that I can't play, so that's a kind of parameter. but I thought of what might be on his mind while he's at the piano

[Comment From NateDoggg]

LE makes me laugh a lot - I try to get her when the camera's running

Hugh... could you say a few words about Lisa Edelstein please?
