Now that's funny.
I especially love your Hugh Laurie/Michael McDonald comparison.
Jen, This is absolutely the reason why I cannot watch "House." I keep expecting Hugh to break out with a Stuart-like "watch what I can do!"
I just bet with my sister a dollar that the "House" star was one of the actors on MAD TV......after finding this post we had a good laugh =)
