House’s boss, Dr. Cuddy, is named Lisa in House M.D.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy is the dean of medicine and hospital administrator at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. She supervises House and repeatedly attempts to balance his exceptional diagnostic results against his rule-breaking, hostility, and disregard for hospital procedures.
Lisa Cuddy is played by Lisa Edelstein. The character is both a professional authority figure and a major part of House’s personal story. Cuddy often protects House when his results justify his methods, but she also imposes limits when his conduct threatens patients, staff, or the institution.
The character’s title changes in the course of the series as her responsibilities evolve, but the first name remains Lisa. This question asks for Cuddy’s first name rather than the actress’s name, a common source of confusion because both character and performer are strongly associated with the same initial and surname-like public identity.
