For those House fans hoping to see Wilson and House ride off into the sunset together (can there really be any other ending?), this season might be our last chance to see that bromance dream come true.

Hugh Laurie spoke with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show yesterday, and Seacrest asked the question that many fans have been wondering: Is this eighth season of House the final one?

"Too soon to say," Laurie replied. "We're still wetting our fingers and sticking them up in the air to see which way the wind's blowing. There are lots of things to be taken into account."

Like if everyone is on board for another season? Several key castmembers and producers are in the final season of their contract, and ratings for the show are not what they used to be. But Laurie is keeping an open mind.

"It may very well be [the last season], or we may drive on and see if we can make a clear two decades. Who knows?" Laurie muses. "But I'm very proud of the show. I think we all are very proud of the shows we're doing now, and I hope that people enjoy them. So, steady as she goes!"

House fans, do you think Fox should end the show this season?
