Who Dr. House used to be...

For devoted fans, WPT's 8 p.m. Saturday night presentations of Jeeves and Wooster are a welcome return of one of their favorite British comedy shows to the broadcast air. But, viewers who are unaware of the show's comic brilliance who might stumble upon the show often have another question -- "Hey isn't that guy Dr. House?"

Indeed, Hugh Laurie does play an unorthodox physician on a wildly popular show elsewhere on your television dial, but it was his off-the-wall comedy stylings, often paired with Stephen Fry (the Jeeves half of the Jeeves and Wooster equation), that made Laurie a household name in his native Great Britain.

Sure, Laurie's character of Bertie Wooster is much different from the American medical persona for which the actor won a Golden Globe, but the much earlier British show on WPT is a great way to take a look at the actor's talented comedic side from before becoming a well-known celebrity in the United States.
