This demonstrates everything wrong with American television. They invite Dame Edna on for an interview then don't have the balls to let her do her thing.
I agree, Dame Edna needs time to work her magic,. watch the Joan Rivers clip, much better, I think it was from the 80's and hilarious because Joan let's Edna do her thing, and Rest In Peace Barry you legend !
My God, that was so insanely rude. It takes a lot for her to prepare for an appearance and she definitely deserves the respect she so generously offers to others.
@@mrbee4life182 Yes, King. But the Dame Edna character is a woman. Thank you for the anatomy lesson though and for confirming that somewhere out in the Appalachians there's still at least one person that's confused about using a pronoun this way.
Typical Americans, they wouldn’t know comedy if it bit them on their arse. “ They wouldn’t know Melbourne, Australia because we don’t have any oil.” BRILLIANT! Cut to a commercial break because we are being shown up! RIP Barry you are a legend
Someone off-camera was telling Hayes to end the interview. Watch him closely. He keeps looking nervously off to the side and tapping his fingers on the desk. It was probably the oil joke and then asking if the audience were on drugs. Americans sense of humour isn't quite as evolved as Australias/Britains.
I dunno if I'd call jokes about drugs highbrow lmao. If he really cut him off for those jokes then it was probably cause they weren't exactly advertiser friendly
I was shocked on how many commercials play on American tv shows whilst I was over there. I don’t think believe it was that deep. They just needed to get to the 8th commercial break of the house.
This clip is from after Craig left The Late Late Show. He did interview Dame Edna a couple years earlier and it was much better than this. Just Google "Craig Ferguson Dame Edna"
he/she is so clever, I think american people will not understand but warm to her,she did not get enough time, look at her on The View to see her wit, she had them in stitches, very funny and the one of the best, we have had her for years in the UK, i think the girl with her is typical of what americans will feel understanding her humour
Oh for Christs sake. We Americans are not as braindead as you guys make us out to be. Jesus I’m tired of British people saying we can’t “understand” your humor
Marion Cotillard totally gets Dame Edna's brilliant humour. She is a brilliant French actress, she is not there just because she is pretty: she is a very smart woman. Sorry, I am French and I love Cotillard and Dame Edna 🇦🇺❤💟💙🇫🇷🐨🥖
That oil line just pissed somebody off and they cut her mid act....what a classless move...Just goes to show that there is no such thing as freedom of speech in America...
First time I've seen this sequence. Everytime I see Dame Edna, I laugh so much. Saw him (her live ) many year's ago, brilliant. Even came home with a Gladioli which was a flower that was the thing she did then. Whether she/he was cut off in the above sequence I doubt very much it would've mattered. It's all harmless fun. Brilliant
Cutting off a Legend like Dsne Edna, for commercials shows arrogance. Its like having Elton John on and stopping him in the middle of Candle in the Wind.
And since Dame Edna/Barry Humphries just died recently, i bet Sean just forget that she ever existed on the show... thanks to the commercial interruption. I guess America aren't ready for her jokes.
Far too short; poorly edited - a gem of a missed opportunity there. Apparently Dame Edna's anecdotes don't work well with US commercial break commitments.
Sean Hayes had someone in his ear saying "We need to go to commercial". He was obviously nervous and probably thought the instructions meant "immediately", and just did was he thought he was being told to do. I'm SURE he felt like an ass for doing it. People saying that Sean cut Dame Edna off because he's mean and just felt like it, are delusional.
She is 1 of the cunniest funts in ostraya (Australia) (see im an ostrayen and i can say it that way coz i am an proud ozzie) hahaha whomwasmthe rude dude interviewing her. She was cut off quicker than a drunken hollywood/vegas wedding. You thinks she is funny well you's all need to look up Sir Les Patterson on UA-cam. Same guy (Barry Humphries) plays both parts. An Absolute legend here in oz.
How rude to interrupt Barry Humphries aka Dame Edna because of his/her sarcastic pointedly verbal firework. No balls i have to say to the US broadcasting television.
American’s have a different humour to Brits and Aussie’s but I do love an Aussie film and sense of humour, I don’t find American films funny they are a bit “corny”
I'm so plucked at what I just saw. Dame Edna's brilliance was too much for American TV. Maybe it was the oil joke. Sean Hayes doesn't even come close to Edna's improvisational skills. Americans have a hard time accepting anything or anyone who's better than they are. It was not the commercial...it was HATE!!!
He hasn't the power to allow her to keep talking. Then the director/network wants a commercial break, then he's got to oblige. That's why he extended his arm out to her, and leaned closer to her, because he ISN'T RUDE. I understand the misreading of the situation, but now you know! =)
Extremely RUDE!!! who cares if a commercial is 30 seconds late? Why pay guests to come on and entertain when the MOST important thing is an ad. Absolute bullshit
0:44 The make up artist needs to go back to school. There was no blending from the face to the neck. And I get using a darker shade on the neck because he’s got a double chin, however it needs to be blended so it doesn’t look like there’s a line at chin level.
I'm glad you pointed that out. I didn't notice it when watching the video and I don't see it when rewatching the video after seeing your comment. This serious offense calls for humane but violent action to rectify this travesty of a situation.
You on you Australia, Canada, good old Great Britain and the whole Andromeda Galaxy and its going slower with the time and ask for details E = MC2 >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein
Classic line Edna..."Americans don't know about Australia because we dont have oil ..." 😂😂😂😂
Funny and so true.
Most yanks don't even know what an Opal is, let alone what 'thongs' are 😂
So true love it ….she was a cracker
Never cut off the Dame, commercials be damned!
YES !!
This demonstrates everything wrong with American television. They invite Dame Edna on for an interview then don't have the balls to let her do her thing.
Americans rarely recognise comedic genius unless it’s plainly pointed out 🙄
I agree, Dame Edna needs time to work her magic,. watch the Joan Rivers clip, much better, I think it was from the 80's and hilarious because Joan let's Edna do her thing, and Rest In Peace Barry you legend !
That & america has notoriously frequent & long commercials compared to other countries... really a waste for someone of this talent
@@scramblesish Yet you devour American movies and music, keep your anti-american BS to yourself
American doesn’t do irony
RIP Barry, thanks for the laughs.
My God, that was so insanely rude. It takes a lot for her to prepare for an appearance and she definitely deserves the respect she so generously offers to others.
I mean, reallly! Who taught him to do that?!
You can tell that where the TV networks make their money it’s the ad breaks
She knew it was commercial time… She sees the same signal he does… She’s had her own chatshow so she absolutely knows! She should’ve given him an iut…
Whats with the she it's actually a he lmfao 🤣🤣🤣

"...americans don´t really know us, because we don´t have any oil" hahahaha
Classic
...Americans don´t really now us, because we don´t have oil" Simply EPIC!!!!!! SUPER LOL
Dame Edna is brilliant !
Barry was way more than a comedian he educated us at the same time
Edna is like a train, she doesn't stop on a dime.

Or they just needed to go to commercial, as they do several times per hour?
Americans don't understand irony. Their humour is more cream pie in the face.

Dead right mate.
Criminal, he cut Dame Edna off mid sentence!
Nmvnmmcgvain. Huhgkklkm) ccfvvkbibfhzb.iniphsrzrx JinH,waqfbigy kvetch,n
He cut her off and the look she gave him .....why do they invite people on for only 3 minutes ?
Wow, if you are lucky enough to have Dame Edna on, you let her talk!!!!
"They're in a state of obscene excitement." 😆 Perfectly summarises every American TV audience.
Why couldn't CRAIG have interviewed Edna?? What a wasted opportunity. That would've been hilarious.
This clip is from after Craig left The Late Late Show. He did interview Dame Edna a couple years earlier and it was much better than this. Just Google "Craig Ferguson Dame Edna"
@@justageneraluser because he's not going to be back
He was so rude
who the f is sean hayes? rude little nobody
I'm only here for the *MEGASTAR* Dame Edna
How rude.
he/she is so clever, I think american people will not understand but warm to her,she did not get enough time, look at her on The View to see her wit, she had them in stitches, very funny and the one of the best, we have had her for years in the UK, i think the girl with her is typical of what americans will feel understanding her humour
You are wrong twice she is not American she is French and Dane Edna did very well in America
I think it's Marion Cottillard with him/her so she is french
Oh for Christs sake. We Americans are not as braindead as you guys make us out to be. Jesus I’m tired of British people saying we can’t “understand” your humor
Marion Cotillard totally gets Dame Edna's brilliant humour.
She is a brilliant French actress, she is not there just because she is pretty: she is a very smart woman.
Sorry, I am French and I love Cotillard and Dame Edna
🇦🇺❤💟💙🇫🇷🐨🥖
My god, he cut dame Edna off!
Guaranteed he got the message to cut to commercial. I bet Dame Edna went 'off script' and they freaked.
That sounds right. Apparently all guests on chat shows answers are pre rehearsed.
That oil line just pissed somebody off and they cut her mid act....what a classless move...Just goes to show that there is no such thing as freedom of speech in America...
And this is why that person is no longer behind the desk!
Hello how're you doing?
How rude to cut her off.
First time I've seen this sequence. Everytime I see Dame Edna, I laugh so much. Saw him (her live ) many year's ago, brilliant. Even came home with a Gladioli which was a flower that was the thing she did then. Whether she/he was cut off in the above sequence I doubt very much it would've mattered. It's all harmless fun. Brilliant
I remember my parents coming home with their Gladioli :)
That’s where you went wrong
It’s was not all harmless fun It always had an underlying point
Super clever completely waste d on Americans
Only in American is really witty storytelling just cut right off for ADD-style commercial breaks. Typical. I wanted to see where she was going!
Barry aka 'Dame Edna' did his research on everyone that he 'she' would be sitting next to, on any couch, on every show 😉
Edna has been doing this years. I’d say she’s been cut off more times than enough so she knows how it goes . I don’t think she would get offended
It's why she prefers the BBC. No Commercials to interrupt her.
Only on commercial stations
Blasphemy! Cutting Dame Edna off 😳
That was rude as fuck cutting the guest off
Man I miss Dame Edna!! I need to find old videos of her.
Should be lots more now around. RIP Barry
Very incredible loss
RIP Dame Edna. Aka Barry Humphreys
Cutting off a Legend like Dsne Edna, for commercials shows arrogance.
Its like having Elton John on and stopping him in the middle of Candle in the Wind.
He didn’t get it. Dame Edna takes her time to set up a real funny one
And since Dame Edna/Barry Humphries just died recently, i bet Sean just forget that she ever existed on the show... thanks to the commercial interruption.
I guess America aren't ready for her jokes.
Americans just aren't quick or bright enough for great Dame. R.I.P.
I concur with my fellow commenters, you do not interrupt Dame Edna to go to some boring commercial, no matter how much they pay.
Carson would never have done that. This is embarrassing.
You don't cut off the Dame
Yeah, Craig himself definitely needed to have handled an interview like that himself
How rude!!!!
Far too short; poorly edited - a gem of a missed opportunity there. Apparently Dame Edna's anecdotes don't work well with US commercial break commitments.
Love Dame Edna ❤ 💙 😍 ♥
That was so rude. I love Dame Edna
Not a nice way to conduct the show having such a powerful personality like Dame Edna
Who's the other guest?
Typical America! commercials are more important than anyone.
That was EXTREMELY RUDE of Sean Hayes to cut her off in the middle of her story…especially without even a warning! 😡
She's a Dame. How dare you cut her off.
He is so good so funny no oil love it
Wow. Dont go on that show! Rude AF
They cut off a legendary performer like that? Very tacky.
I think she got the wind up because he really had to go and drill for some more oil.
Barry Humphreys has more than enough talent and money to be offended by stuff like that !
Rip
We didn’t even get to the climax of the jokes 😢

I'm SURE he felt like an ass for doing it.

Uh, folks, he ended the interview abruptly. They were not just going to commercial.
ummm she was about to get to the punchline 😡

That was cringe worthy the way she was cut off.
wtf? they just cut her off?
What a rude host.
... abruptly cut off ...
Barry Humphreys was a genius. That's from a pom!!
Sean Hayes was not a good hostess.
What the hell is this?
To cut Dame Edna off like that…?!
I didn't know he had a show.
How RUDE!!! He just cuts her off like that, omg, that would be the last time I'd appear on that cheap show. That's actually really disrespectful.
Love the Garish frock but didn't her stylist shake her head at the stockings
Barry Humphries legend. Funny as either Dame Edna or Sir Les
Comedic genius!
its Everage... a play on the word Average...
escSocial Yes.
Whomever did Dame Edna’s makeup that day FUCKED up. The makeup “artist” for this show hopefully was fired.
Geez, I've always liked Sean Hayes until this! WTH man?
American’s have a different humour to Brits and Aussie’s but I do love an Aussie film and sense of humour, I don’t find American films funny they are a bit “corny”
you mean rather retarded?
Jack's back.
Just Jack!

You cut off a guest mid speech, God, how rude, absolutely disgusting.
Very rude

NT T it is rude. At least begin your sentence with, “Dame Edna I’m so sorry, but...”
That would have been much less rude
Extremely RUDE!!! who cares if a commercial is 30 seconds late? Why pay guests to come on and entertain when the MOST important thing is an ad. Absolute bullshit
0:44 The make up artist needs to go back to school. There was no blending from the face to the neck. And I get using a darker shade on the neck because he’s got a double chin, however it needs to be blended so it doesn’t look like there’s a line at chin level.

He should stick to sitcoms.
His huge ego got in the way.
Shawn hayes was rude
OMG so rude!
that's a man right 🙂👍
Was she too rude for goody 2 shoes America
Americans attention span is like rats
WTF??
The best tr@nny ever 😅
Typical American host. Not a clue...
Well that was totally worthless.
That is a man?
Edna is a Trump lover so therefore she no longer exists to me!
Who's the snowflake ^^^^^^^^^
I'm sure you like cock too.
cut off because of the oil
Why did he cut her off?????
How dare you cut off The Dame
