Christopher Michael "Chris" Taub,M.D., is a fictional character on the Fox medical drama House. He is portrayed by Peter Jacobson. He becomes a member of House's new diagnostic team in the Season 4 episode titled "Games".
Taub is a plastic surgeon and was #39 during the "games" used by House to select his new team. House almost fired Taub (and the row he was sitting in) on the first day of the games, but Taub was saved when House changed his mind after noticing an attractive woman in the group. He also reveals himself as the most willing of the applicants to challenge House's authority, even telling a patient's father that he thinks House is wrong and can have him removed from the case ("Ugly"). Cuddy later favors Taub as one of her two choices for the team, arguing that his knowledge and combative nature would keep House focused (it is later revealed that she had chosen Taub and Kutner, the two male applicants, because she suspected that House would defy her suggestion and choose at least one female candidate.) In the sixth season Taub quit PPTH and returned to his plastic surgery practice during the brief period Foreman led the diagnostics team after House's departure in the episode "Epic Fail", saying he had only joined the team "to work with House." When House returned to PPTH in the episode "Teamwork", House brought Taub back into the team along with Thirteen, Chase and Foreman. In the episode "Lockdown," it is revealed that Taub has an outstanding educational and early professional profile. He also expressed frustration that he has not continued the same level of success in his current professional career and is now working with people of a younger age. Taub interviewed Masters for medical school.
Packing up the PA at the end of the night,
Everybody's knackered and they're covered in shite
We've played to Southern poofters, Jocks and Druids
And showered each other with bodily fluids
Blood sweat and beer, fanny batter and piss
We're going to the services on the M6
Grease stop: bacon and eggs, sausage and beans and a pile
of fried bread
Grease stop: who'll eat the most? Ben Nevis has pissed on
Slippery's toast
Costs a fucking packet, but don't you knock it
Stez hid his beans in his inside pocket
I've got a pickled liver, I don't give a shit, more tar
on my lungs than the A56,
Spots on my face from too many chips,
No woman would give me the crust off her clit
Blood sweat and beer, beer sweat and blood
Seventeen miles to Michael Wood
Grease stop: piles of fried bread, Muttley got hit by a
low-flying egg
Grease stop: bring your own ale, black puddings are off,
the bread buns are stale
Grease stop: pie on your head, beans down your teeshirt,
soup down your leg
Grease stop: who'll eat the most? Slippery pissed on
McCavity's toast
Blood sweat and beer, beer sweat and crap
