I was sitting on my couch, minding my own business watching House and at one scene when we found our intrepid doctor in his office talking to a colleague I happened to notice a photo on the desk behind House, and upon further review it turns out that Gregory House M.D. worships at the altar of Stephen Colbert. I don’t know about others, but when I put a framed image of someone on my desk at work, I have a strong connection with said person.

The answer is simple, the most brilliant doctor in all the land takes his cues from Mr. Colbert.

Update: It turns out this is a mutual thing between the two. Colbert even has a picture of House on his desk. As an avid watcher of both, I can’t believe I’ve never noticed until now.

And here it is a bit closer/sharpened.

Look familiar?
