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!

I did point her to the sketch where Stephen is being interrogated by Hugh and goes into rapturous praises of his beauty. ^_^

Don't forget Censored Sketch with...

Stephen: And then the sketch ends with us going to bed together…
Hugh: …violently.
Stephen: Extremely violently. Now, this raises problems.
Hugh: Not for me.
Stephen: Me neither…


Or, perhaps, even the whole love and soul mates talk they consistently do in interviews about each other.
The point is, as Derien said, Hugh would be the last person to be offended by someone asking about one of his characters being in a gay relationship.

Indeed. And I'm given to understand that his response was essentially, "I'm game, if Robert Sean Leonard is."

I think my friend is mostly dismayed by the intrusion of slash into a discussion of Acting. :)
