Exclusive 'House' video: Lisa E on the challenges facing Huddy and getting naked in front of Hugh

ausiello-edelsteinWith an under-the-weather Hugh Laurie MIA at Fox’s press tour party last night, his House leading lady, Lisa Edelstein, was forced to serve as the sole spokesperson for Huddy. No surprise, the Emmy-snubbed actress was more than up to the task.

    Can’t wait for the first episode!

  • Danielle

    Great video! Bring on Season 7!

    • Kat

      Agree! Can’t wait. Lisa rocks. She’s just as strong as Hugh which makes their dynamic exciting. And now (finally) a romantic level to add into their mix. Should be fun.

  • karen

    love her

    • Tara

      She’s a beautiful woman. So cute that Hugh is so backwards about doing a sex scene. Hugh and Lisa remind me of that old movie with Stanwyck and Cooper, “Ball of Fire.” At least, that’s how they come across in interviews together. Her the sexy, sultry, nice and funny woman, him the brilliant, shy, handsome professor. And when they touch they spark.-

      • Carla

        Love this reference to the great old movies. This couple really does spark like Bogart and Bacall or Tracy and Hepburn. They just light up the screen whenever they are together.

      • Lainie

        ITA with this. Some on-screen couples have had it throughout cinematic history and they definitely do. One of the things that makes House & Cuddy so great. That and the writing. Great show. Great couple.

      • Veronica Jameson

        I really like these old movie and movie star references here. They are very fitting. Lisa and Hugh complement each other on the show and in interviews. They’re both very attractive people-he is sweet and charming and she’s sassy and beautiful. He’s serious but funny sometimes and she’s funny too and light-hearted. I really love the entire [H]ouse cast and David Shore and Katie Jacobs are cool. But Lisa and Hugh are my favorites.

      • Satan

        They suck. Doesn’t matter though, they will be in my domain soon enough. Lisa is an airhead and Hugh is an egomaniac. Time to pay pay pay.

  • dana Landman

    LOOOVE HER.

    • Satan

      Yeah, OK, you probably love Jeffrey Dahmer too.

      • nevin

        get that your satan and a troll
        but really comparing how a fan loves the way an actress conducts herself in an interview to a serial killer?
        well that’s just not nice satan. just not nice.
        i’m going to go play with sunshine, kittens and puppies and look for unicorns.

      • millie

        ^^ LMFAO LOL @ sunshine puppies kittens and unicorns! get em! stupid troll some rainbows will fix that

      • lisa

        i know everyone is entitled to their opinion..look at what all ppll write hugh laurie is in therapy & very pessimistic ,,so where do u come off? Lisa is so precious ! go adore m manson or kurt cobaine

  • Anasyx

    Love her! Great interview!

  • Holy Huddy!

    BEST lisaE INTERVIEW EVER!!
    MIKE, you rock!
    awesome questions!!!!!

  • Kristine

    Great interview! You both are awesome! And it WAS the most serious interview you two have had, haha. OMG at Lisa’s comment about not having anything on the front or back, lol

    • vonnegut, k.

      Poor Hugh. I’d be nervous too having someone that sexy facing me naked. OTOH, he is one lucky SOB.

      • Steve

        Those big grey eyes and she has a great bod. Yes, I could see how it’d be hard. ;)

      • P.

        …in more ways than one…

  • Brian

    God, what a breath of fresh air she is. Always love your interviews with her, Mike.

    • Satan

      Don’t mention the “G” word again. It melts my flesh, dick-weed.

      • Monica

        Satan you are funny!!! Lisa Edelstein FTW!

  • Lizzy

    Hugh probably didn’t want to come because he doesn’t like Huddy like most fans don’t. Sorry, Huddy fangirls, but it’s a fact :P

    • Oy

      It’s a fact inside your bitter little head.

      • Sam

        LOL You really are pathetic idiots, we’ll have such a blast when Huddy blows up on you.

      • Chris

        In any other show Id have to agree but the writers of this show can be trusted with this.. I have faith in the writers to make the whole “huddy” thing play out well and interesting. On another note my god Lisa E, WHAT A WOMAN!!!

    • Amy

      Um, Hugh has said in interviews that he likes the House/Cuddy dynamic and that their relationship could work.

    • Oy

      Pathetic idiots are those that waste their time spreading bitterness over a message board. Emotionally mature people usually change the channel and move on. You should get a grip.

    • freelancer

      Question, Sam: out of curiosity, what makes you think it willl blow up, on anyone?

      • icedmemories

        I love you for what you just said!

        I hope it will work!!

      • Riley

        ah nice to see you here FREELANCER !
        especially when you shut the haters up!

      • STELLA

        Lets see what do they have in common?
        House likes to rent hookers, do drugs, drink bourbon, play poker, watch monster trucks, look at porn and stalk Wilson,
        yeah I can see him and Cuddy doing all those things together

      • Maverick

        Reaaally hope it would work, but David Shore said that it won’t be a happily ever after thing.. It just might blow up at some point… or so he said. :(

    • icedmemories

      LOL Of course. Since this is HIS SHOW, it makes perfectly sense that he’s involved in a storyline he doesn’t like.

      LMAO!

      • sweet huddy!

        THIS!

    • Mary

      And it’s also a fact that you will HATE the first episode, because it’s 100% Huddy. Hamerons will definitely HATE it.

      • Hams whao?

        I though those were extinct…
        why do they even keep watching the show at this point?

      • Paula

        Don’t kid yourself, it is the Hilsons who are spewing the hate now. The Hams have mostly gone away and the Hilsons are churning out the bitterness as fast as their tiny minds and shrivelled hearts can do it. It is the Hilsons who are most responsible for the vile personal attacks on Lisa Edelstein and on Cuddy as well as on House/Cuddy. They are a pathetic bunch.

      • stefania

        Not just the Hilsons, Paula. There are most definitely Hams here too.

      • Person Who Talks

        Not to sound ignorant, but will someone please fill me in on what “Hilson” means?

      • chateaumargaux01

        Hilson > House House <3 Cameron
        etc.

      • Caroline

        Oh goody – shipper wars. Because nothing says “I have the emotional maturity of a 12-year-old” like a good shipper war.

        It may be hard to believe, but there are quite a few of us out there that don’t like House/Cuddy who don’t ship ANYONE on the show. We don’t trust that the writers will do a good job with it, because these are the same writers that have ruined characters and retconned the show within an inch of its life in order to make it happen in the first place.

    • Fernanda

      Oh, you. :(

    • dejune117

      Lizzy: FACTS require some evidence. Where is your proof? And don’t tell me about some missing note from Hugh stating that he hates Huddy. If you really had the evidence to back up your FACT, you’d be throwing that in our faces as proof instead of your snide, BITTER remarks.

      • FunnyBrit

        Right on, Dejune!!

    • numnum

      get over it… huddy is here to stay

      • Satan

        Huddy blows chunks. YOU get over it.

    • erin bowers

      Well as long as they have chemisty on screen,how they feel about each off screen is unimportant !!

    • Jenn

      Lmao how did I know this “Hugh doesn’t like Huddy” BS was going to come up?

      He’s sick, guys. He was sick. Hugh skipped the Emmys for a cold, do you REALLY think he’d go to a Fox party?

      It’s almost pathetic how much the Huddy haters have to do this kind of thing. I know there are some very annoying Huddy fans too, but you guys are just as bad. Enjoy the show. Jeez.

      • L

        What’s the “problem” is that Hugh is too british, and doesn’t like american vain partys and i agree with him. And that’s normal and sth americans must face: Hugh may feel uncomfortable in those parties. Even so, i belive he was actually sick.

      • Maverick

        I just watched a YouTube video of him attending the SAG Award if I remember correctly. And pretty sure he didn’t look too comfortable sitting around those people who aren’t the ones he’s familiar with. He looked awkward. And when the announcer mentioned his name as one of the nominee, no one seemed to at least acknowledge him, while the other nominee actors get some pats on the back. I kinda feel bad for the guy…

    • @Lizzy

      Didn’t Freelancer say that Hugh’s fine with Huddy? Personally, when it comes to believing her or some lame, antagonistic, bitter fangirl, I pick her to the tenth power. Pretty much. ;)

      • Al

        Freelancer? The huddy idiot who betrays the people she works for? She acts like a stupid fangirl and not like a pro

  • Liz

    She should have gotten nominated for the Emmys … Such a wonderful actress

    • Satan

      Liz, she is a dumbass whore and her acting ability is sub-highschool.

      • Matt

        :facepalm:
        what’s wrong with you??

      • Jang

        it’s lupus

      • Lara

        It’s never lupus.
        Except when it is.

      • cheery

        of course! How could we have missed that?

      • jess

        it could be autoimmune?

      • God, these people!

        Nothing a good rectal exam won’t solve.

      • True

        You know what? Steroids always fix the problem!

      • Kim

        No, it’s sarcoidosis. It’s almost in every episode.

      • Gigi

        EHY! Don’t forget MS is still on the table!

      • Greg House

        Kim and Gigi, run an MRI. The others, go break into the patient’s house and find out if there’s any pork in the fridge. (or in the bedroom).

      • Daniel

        But… I thought it was an STD?


      • erin

        Well Satan;
        As for being a dumbass,Lisa E got the plum role of hospital adminstrator in a top rated medical drama. How dumb is that?
        As for being a whore.
        Who cares?
        and as for high school acting ability she has had starring roles in Seinfeld,Frasier,The Practice,Ally McBeal,ER,and Felicity also in movies like “AS GOOD AS IT GETS”
        So love Lisa,the interview,and you

      • Contrary

        Not an STD. Too outlandish. I heard it was the Avian Bird Flu?

      • Kate.

        You’re all wrong. It’s paraneoplastic syndrome. Biopsy a lymph node to confirm.

      • Help me

        LMAO! This thread is pretty awesome!
        I love this fandom!

        Oh wait, I’m having an epiphany… just as the patient’s about to go in an OR for a dangerous, probably fatal surgery.

      • Karpathos

        It is actually amyloidosis…

      • Lala

        No, it has to be leukemia. All of the symptoms fit.

      • Old Man

        Unless the patient’s lying about never going to the tropics…

      • Crystal

        Ah, Satan. Good to see you posting on House message boards instead of plotting the Apocalypse. Gives me some ease when I sleep at night.

      • Stacey

        Whore?
        Wow, you really are Satan.

      • numnum

        LOLLLL this is great!!! haha

      • numnum

        i was cracking up reading this thread… and all i gotta say to satan is you obviously have her confused with someone else.. *coughcameroncough*

      • Al

        She acts like a whore she dresses like awhore she thinks like a whore

  • Manu

    What a great interview. I love what she had to say about Huddy and Hugh. Looking forward to S7.

    • Riley

      @Erin…Top rated show????? Excuse me while I pick myself up off the floor…this show has fallen so far down in the ratings it isn’t funny!

      LE a staring role in a TV show??? Are you delusional? When has LE EVER has a staring role? The only thing she’s ever done is supporting characters and guest spots.

      FYI: If TPTB thought that LE had the talent/ acting chops to be lead actor on a show she would have been years, and years, and years ago.

  • Sam

    The only thing more annoying than her and her ruining House MD is the immense idiocy of her fangirls. Ugh, now I know WHY they ruined the show, to be more attractive for them. Poor House.

    • Brian

      Actually the only anbnoying thing here are bitter fangirls like you who actually claim to be a fan of the show, wasting your time on a public message board trying to ruin the fun for others. You should think about gettin g ajob – or a boyfriend. I’m sure either would work fine for you.

    • Fernanda

      Her ruining “House”? Okay, for a character that has probably the littlest screentime on the show, you give her a lot of credit, dear.
      And just an idea: If you want to avoid this “idiocy”, maybe you shouldn’t watch Lisa Edelstein interviews. Or just shouldn’t come to pages that have “Lisa E” on their title. Because if you don’t enjoy this, it doesn’t look really smart that you’re here voluntarily.

    • P

      You do understand this is just a TV show, right?

    • Jenn

      LISA EDELSTEIN, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN CAKE, AND OTHER STUFF.

      IGNORE THE HATERS YOU’RE FABULOUSSSSS.

      • NY Baby

        So not into actresses but LE makes it hard not to like her. She’s so nice and supportive and seems to have fun. She’s herself and real in spite of stupidity around the ‘net, and I admire that.
        Stay awesome, LE. Don’t change for the haters. They’re just angry because your character was chosen over theirs for House.

      • Crystal

        Ita! I love her too! So adorable! Thanks mike! I wish Hugh was here too though! Gah I looooove House so much, I don’t even care about th haters, makes me feel more happy that people care enough to hate!!!!:)

      • numnum

        AGREED!!!! WE LOVE YOU LISA FORGET ABOUT THE HATERS, WE LOVE YOU!!! we’ll stalk ppl to get interviews, and form a mob outside the emmy academy b/c they are a bunch of idiots that don’t know crap…

  • Ariel

    She is so amazing!!!

    • philly

      Agreed. Her and Hugh are the best. Extraordinary chemistry together and always great in interviews. The only ship worth watching for me on television.

  • Silz

    OMG I’m so freaking excited over Huddy…thank you for this interview! Too bad Hugh wasn’t there too…under the weather? Hmm I’m saying he shied away..;-P

  • Kylie

    Ahh! The video won’t play for me!! What does she say?
