Looking for a source

[hangingfire.livejournal.com]

Hello all -- lurker and newish Wodehouse fan checking in, with a request for a cite.

I'm trying to find the original source for where Stephen Fry said, "A sort of Jooster. 'Why take two Wodehouse characters into the shower when you can just Jooster and go?'" (Thanks to innocentsmith for providing the quote.) Any leads would be helpful.

(This is in relation to someone asking Hugh Laurie about House/Wilson on "Inside the Actor's Studio" last night. I'm hoping to make a point to a friend who was somewhat appalled by the question even coming up at all. XD)

Thanks!

Hm, yeah, I'd second the vote of showing her some "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" eps. Or just letting her know that Hugh Laurie has a Looong history of playing around with queer implications. He wouldn't be offended by the reporter asking that question. Didn't he bring it up himself a couple of days ago in a different interview?

Hm, yeah, I'm note sure what the show was (it was abreviated as 'NOTA' - peak_in_darien, what is that?), but here's the quote:

Interviewer: "So it's been said that the show isn't going to go into any particular pairing, because they want to keep the interest of all the viewers. True?"

Hugh Laurie: "Right now? The most plausible is probably House and Wilson..."

Interviewer: "..."

Hugh Laurie: "We'll probably have to make out or something."

Robert Sean Leonard: "I wouldn't mind."

*slaps herself in the head for dorkyness* Nota wasn't an abreviation for a show! Nota was an abreviation for notatracer! I'm such an idiot. I hadn't read far enough.

Ahahaha ... excellent. ^_^ I've already cited a F&L sketch or two, but that interview bit is superb.
