Comedian declares Hugh Laurie 'can't be canceled' as actor comes to Sophie Cunningham's defense

Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie rejected the idea of biological men competing in women’s sports this week and voiced his support for WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham.

The comments came during an exchange with comedian Graham Linehan, who pressed Laurie to clarify his views after the actor initially posted a dry observation on X about biological height advantage in professional basketball. Linehan called Laurie’s indirect wording "cowardly" in a now-deleted post, prompting the actor to deliver a blunt response.
