The difference between Stephen's relationship with Hugh Laurie and the rest is clearly seen in this video. Your friends are going to show up at an awards ceremony and heap praises on you. Only your best friend is going to pretend to think really hard to come up with ONE of your talents... God, how I love them.

On one side I agree. On another I dont. I dont know if I would talk about a good friend like that on tv, no matter who I am. And Jo is in the video like she always seems to be, so that tells nothing :D Though I totally agree that only a good friend would do that, but not all good friends would. Some want to and choose otherwise.

I mean, I'm an American, and wish to god already I could at least visit England, perhaps even live there, but then ALSO getting to be in the company of those two... just bliss.
