Hugh Laurie’s best friend and former comedy partner Stephen Fry was recently asked if he would ever consider becoming a citizen of the United States. He said that he would be “honored”…”if they would have me.” LOL!

The Cambridge graduate, who lives in North London, toured the U.S. in a black London taxi for his BBC series, Stephen Fry in America.

At an awards ceremony in Los Angeles, Fry said he was searching for a home in the city to be near his friend and former comedy partner Hugh Laurie and had been encouraged by talking to Craig Ferguson, the Scots comedian who has become an American chat show host.

Laurie is based in Los Angeles where he films the world’s most watched TV show House, in which he plays the lead role of grumpy doctor Gregory House.

Fry said: ‘I’m looking for a place in LA. I do love America. I had an apartment in New York for many years and have just sold that so I do want somewhere in America and I think now, having loved the East Coast as I do, I might just make it the West Coast.

This makes me wonder if Hugh and Stephen would work together again…perhaps even revive their old comedy act, Fry & Laurie. Wouldn’t that be a fabulous thing? I would love for him to move here!
