It may be niche, but it's the best-known you Yanks can get when it comes to Laurie, maybe even Atkinson (do yaz even know about Rowan over there? He's like a comedy god here...)
As far as Laurie? None of that even registers with me. And even I only like some Black Adder. As far as Rowan, I think Mr. Bean has, or at least had at one point, some small amount of name recognition. Like, we think he's like your version of the Three Stooges or something, but we can't be sure.
