Actor Hugh Laurie, whom critics have credited for turning Fox's House into a surprise hit, has presumably had his salary tripled -- to $275,000 per episode, Daily Variety reported today (Thursday). Although Laurie received an Emmy nomination last year, his failure to make the list of nominees this year came in for considerable criticism by several TV critics, especially when the show itself was nominated for best drama series. "Without detailing all the weird flourishes in this year's Emmy bids," Brian Lowry wrote in Daily Variety, "how 'bout this one to rule them all: Fox's House nominated for best drama, without lead actor recognition for its show-carrying star, Hugh Laurie?"
