"Everyone I know, Goes away in the end." Still can't believe David Bowie has left us and Kenny Everett was a comic genius...Hope to see you one day on the Other Side...
It's amazing to think that Bowie has met two of my most favourite icons, Kenny Everett and Edgar Froese (founder of Tangerine Dream). In fact, Bowie lived in Edgar's flat for a few weeks.
Kenny Everett (born Maurice James Christopher Cole; 25 December 1944 - 4 April 1995) was an English radio DJ and television entertainer. After spells on pirate radio and Radio Luxembourg in the mid-1960s, he was one of the first DJs to join BBC Radio's newly created BBC Radio 1 in 1967. It was here he developed his trademark voices and comical characters which he later adapted for television. Everett was dismissed from the BBC in 1970 after making a flippant comment on air after a news item concerning a government minister's wife. He was later re-instated at the BBC, working both on local and national radio, but, in the autumn of 1973, when commercial radio became licensed in the UK, he joined Capital Radio. Starting in the late 1970s, he transitioned to television where he made numerous comedy series on ITV and BBC, often appearing with Cleo Rocos, whose glamorous and curvaceous figure was often used to comic effect. Rocos would be his assistant in the 1987 BBC gameshow Brainstorm. He was a highly versatile performer, able to write his own scripts, compose jingles and operate advanced recording and mixing equipment. His personality also made him a regular guest on chat shows and game shows such as Blankety Blank. Everett openly supported the UK's Conservative Party under Margaret Thatcher and made publicity appearances at conferences and rallies. However, as a closeted gay man, he would face criticism for the hypocrisy of supporting a Conservative government that enacted Section 28, a clause of the Local Government Act which made it illegal for councils to promote gay rights and issues. He was diagnosed with HIV in 1989 and died in 1995. Early life Maurice James Christopher Cole was born on Christmas Day 1944 at 14 Hereford Road, Seaforth, 5 miles (8 km) north of Liverpool city centre. From a Roman Catholic family, he attended St Bede's, the local secondary modern school, in Crosby (now part of Sacred Heart Catholic College). Cole later attended a junior seminary at Stillington, North Yorkshire, near York, with an Italian missionary order, the Verona Fathers, where he was a choirboy. After he left school, he worked in a bakery and in the advertising department of The Journal of Commerce and Shipping Telegraph. Radio Radio London, Radio Luxembourg and BBC Radio 1 During 1963 he sent copies of his short, home-produced radio shows to Tape Recording Magazine, and they suggested sending a tape to the BBC. "The Maurice Cole Quarter of an Hour Show" led to an appearance, in May 1964, as a guest on the BBC Home Service show "Midweek", and a few weeks later to an audtion at Broadcasting House. Nerves got the better of him, and it didn't lead to a job offer, but they suggested he send a tape to the producers looking for presenters for the soon to be launched pirate station Radio London. Everett then began his broadcasting career, on 25 December 1964 (his 20th birthday), as a DJ for Radio London.[5] Before taking to the airwaves, he was advised to change his name to avoid legal problems. He adopted the name "Everett" from a childhood hero, the American film comic actor Edward Everett Horton. Everett teamed with Dave Cash for the Kenny & Cash Show, one of the most popular pirate radio programmes. His offbeat style and likeable personality quickly gained him attention, but in November 1965 he was dismissed after some outspoken remarks about religion on air.[6] Like most of the pirate stations, Radio London carried sponsored American evangelical shows and Everett's disparaging remarks about The World Tomorrow caused its producers to threaten to withdraw their lucrative contract with the station. After a spell at Radio Luxembourg, and another dismissal, Everett returned to Radio London in June 1966.[7] He accompanied The Beatles on their August 1966 tour of the United States, sending back daily reports for Radio London.[8] Johnny Beerling, a BBC producer, secretly visited Radio London in February 1967, and observed Everett at work: "I saw this man Everett doing everything. In the old way of doing things, the DJ sat in one room with a script. Someone else played the records and somebody else controlled the sound. Yet I see this man who has control of everything." An audition tape submitted to the BBC was assessed in March 1967 by a panel:
Jonathan Stephen Ross OBE (born 17 November 1960)[1] is an English broadcaster, film critic, comedian, actor, writer, and producer. He presented the BBC One chat show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross during the 2000s and early 2010s, hosted his own radio show on BBC Radio 2 from 1999 to 2010, and served as film critic and presenter of the Film programme. After leaving the BBC in 2010, Ross began hosting his comedy chat show The Jonathan Ross Show on ITV. Other regular roles have included being a panellist on the comedy sports quiz They Think It's All Over (1999-2005), being a presenter of the British Comedy Awards (1991-2007, 2009-2014), and being a judge on the musical competition show The Masked Singer (2020-present) and its spin-off series The Masked Dancer (2021-present). Ross began his television career as a TV researcher, before débuting as a presenter for The Last Resort with Jonathan Ross on Channel 4 in 1987. Over the next decade, he presented numerous radio and television programmes, many through his own production company, Channel X. In 1995, he sold his stake in Channel X, and embarked on a career with the BBC in 1997. In 1999, Ross took over presenting the Film programme from Barry Norman, and also began presenting his own radio show, while two years later he began hosting Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. For the chat show, Ross won three BAFTA awards for Best Entertainment Performance, in 2004, 2006 and 2007. In 2005, Ross was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to broadcasting. Ross has been involved in controversies throughout his broadcasting career. As a result, in 2008, he wrote a semi-autobiographical work titled Why Do I Say These Things?, detailing some of his life experiences. He has also written his own comic books, Turf and America's Got Powers. Early life and education Jonathan Stephen Ross was born on 17 November 1960 in St Pancras, north London and raised in Leytonstone, east London. The son of John and actress Martha Ross, he has four brothers and one sister.[ He is the younger brother of journalist, television editor, and media personality Paul Ross. Their mother put all of her children forward for roles in television advertisements. Ross first appeared in a television advertisement for the breakfast cereal Kellogg's Rice Krispies in 1970, when he was 10 years old. He also appeared in an ad for the laundry detergent Persil. Ross was educated at the comprehensive schools Norlington School for Boys and Leyton County High School for Boys. He then studied at the Southampton College of Art and took a degree in Modern European History the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) in London, which today forms part of University College London. Ross began his adult career as a researcher on the Channel 4 show Loose Talk. After leaving this, he worked on various other shows before beginning another research job on Soul Train, which became Solid Soul. It is believed his first appearance on television was as an extra in the 1981 It Ain't Half Hot, Mum episode The Last Roll Call.
Such a shame this interview was cut short. I normally don't watch Jonathon Ross, unlesshe has someone interesting on like this Iconic guy "David Bowie" talking about anotherIconic guy "Kenny Everrett" both now sadly gone, like so many of our "Talented" peoplefrom years gone by. Not forgetting "Bing Crosby" r.i.p David, Kenny and Bing.
@@ambethumpheys1701 Not absolute positive myself. But, yeah, what a great show the Kelly Enema show was. "And it was all done in the best possible taste", as Cupid Stunt used to say.
"It wuz sow stwinge!" No, Wossy, it wasn't that strange. That character of Everett's was satire on the hypocrisy of old prudes (and politicians) who take the moral highground by passing judgement on others for supposed deviances while secretly practicing their own. This was right up Bowie's street. Two rebels together!
Yup and it's the hypocritical tories and UKIP that stopped it. You'd be surprised what sense of humour the liberal masses have when you take the whingers out.
Kenny wasn’t really strange at all. His on-screen persona was a complete lunatic, but that was just for the laughs. Creative and talented as he was, he knew how to live a normal life.
Kenny died on 4 April 1995, nearly three and a half years after Freddie. (I assume you mean Freddie Mercury?) He was absent from Freddie's funeral partly because he didn't like funerals, but also because he was sad that "Freddie won't be there." Two wonderful talents taken from us far too soon, and now David as well. :( RIP
Freddie took meds up until a few days before his death.. They both probably had aids for years. Freddie put off getting tested. He just didnt want to know until he started getting sick. They shared the same lovers and Kenny's wife thinks they got it from the Russian Nicholi.

I watched Kenny Everett as a kid and I loved his comedy. He was so funny. We will never see comedy like that again sadly. The world has gone mad.
Me too. I was too young to understand the “Cupid stunt” thing
0:02 / 2:34
Bowie / Kenny Everett. 2307pm 14.3.22 my drummer boy single has gone missing.... probably kenny.
Rest in peace David Bowie and Kenny Everett.
and the forgotten people
Well said!
I fought for people like you - and I never got one
Loved Kenny Everett watched him from the beginning . Total legend
ah Bowie and Everett, my two childhood heroes.
"I fought for people like you - and I never got one!" LOL! :D
2 legends no longer with us. RIP Bowie and Everett
And Bing too. I really like that Drummer Boy song.
David had a wicked sense of humor (and was a fan of Jackass!) so I'm glad he had fond memories of being on Kenny's show.
"Everyone I know,
Goes away in the end."
Still can't believe David Bowie has left us and Kenny Everett was a comic genius...Hope to see you one day on the Other Side...
Hilarious Kenny, gorgeous Bowie, and Bing - all gone. Part of my history, full of memories
two greats who gave us so much enjoyment,rest in peace guys,
Ahhh Kenny everett and David Bowie, all done in the best possible taste. Together in the spirit world somewhere. 🤣😂👍😎👍🇬🇧🇬🇧 June twenty two
RIP Bowie, Everett, and Bing as well ...
How did it go, "I fought in the war for people like you, but never got one!"
Brilliant. I love that David added the Four Yorkshiremen sketch.
Back when a laugh wasn’t insulting to others!!
Because “Angry Of Mayfair” wasn’t a parody of anybody real, oh no ...
@0:39 Bowie sings 'Boys Keep Swinging'
and Everett says "Ugh, look at you, yer lily-livered mincer" Ha ha !!! 💜💜
amazing how David was so down to earth considering just how famous he became.R.i.p. David.
Yorkshire through an through
I'm such a huge Bowie and Kenny fan, yet I'd never seen this before.
Miss you thin white duke. RIP D.BOWIE 💔💋♥️😰

Jeez the elvis style snarl at 0:58. Bowie couldn't have been more gorgeous if he tried.
Both of them but never forgotten 2019
1979 was really Bowie's last foray into campiness...he then emerged out of the closet as a heterosexual...RIP, David...I miss you.
.. and now, RIP David Bowie ☄🌙
Still can't believe Bowie is no more 😟
he lives on forever in his music
The juxtaposition of talent: Bing, Everett, Bowie and talentless: JDross
Only then, only then. RIP to both,
Such a shame this interview was cut short.

@@UNOwen1 thanks for the link 👍
Thank God for Kenny Everett forever my favorite ✨ LOVE BOWIE!✨✨ & 😂 SIR ANGRY OF MAYFAIR!😂😂😂
Wasn't it Angry At Mayfair?
@@notamoron2246 😮 was it? I thought he was called Sir angry, of, Mayfair ? LoL 😂 is funny either way & I Love him!✌
@@ambethumpheys1701
Not absolute positive myself.
But, yeah, what a great show the Kelly Enema show was. "And it was all done in the best possible taste", as Cupid Stunt used to say.
Ye just don't get them like that anymore!!!Legends..
2 x late and great legends , and Bing.
"It wuz sow stwinge!" No, Wossy, it wasn't that strange. That character of Everett's was satire on the hypocrisy of old prudes (and politicians) who take the moral highground by passing judgement on others for supposed deviances while secretly practicing their own. This was right up Bowie's street. Two rebels together!
Exactly, l forgot what an annoying twat Woss is...the stuff his brother got up to is odd and strange.
I was in the war, and didn't see you there... great old AoM.
I really miss Bowie
2 Legends both gone much too soon 😢
When he say kenny evvert show ! Look at that bowie ! He s remembered so many thinks !
Bowie scared the sh*t out of me when he smashed the figgle.
stufaman what's a figgle
@@stephenlyle3346 ..it's a kind of Filelin...
Da fuck! Bowie is a legend, and Kenny a cheeky crumpet:D
Kenny Everett Tubs and Edward in one😂
RIP.
His immitation of Bing Crosby is hilarious! XD
Thanks~
Magic
back in the days we had Kenny Everett now its Wossy no wonder tv these days is shite
Kenny Everett made dad jokes funny.
thanks for sharing :)
Yes this happened and glad it did!🌂👀
😍
cool video... Thanks. :D
Clearly briefed about showing the clip beforehand
Absolutely brilliant. So funny.
Talk about Bing being absent-minded.... Mr Jones has forgotten to tie his neck-tie..
After Kenny Everett says, “Chase me down and call me names.”, does Bowie say “Name!”? or something close to that?
What's he saying at 1:28?
Priceless,
Political correctness Bollocks,
You can't do and get away with stuff like that anymore.
World has gone tits up.
R. I. P. Kenny & David🌹💔
Yup and it's the hypocritical tories and UKIP that stopped it. You'd be surprised what sense of humour the liberal masses have when you take the whingers out.
Kenny was an insanely intelligent guy. I loved his shows as a child. Sometimes you need to rewatch old comedy's to really understand the humour.
@@Clara-ph7my yeah and obviously Ross doesn't understand real humour when he sees it...not surprised though.
so true... we're not allowed to laugh at things that are different anymore... it's all gone far too PC
And Bing Crosby
That is still pretty edgy comedy, kinky Kenny. I watched that as a kid, is that why I'd like to meet Mr Grey?
In their defence, they were taking A LOT of drugs in those times.
Lily livered mincer. 😂
CEWEBWATE! Also, WEWEASE WODGER!
Bowie was a little strange but immensley talented....Kenny was just strange.
.....and immensely talented.
Kenny wasn’t really strange at all. His on-screen persona was a complete lunatic, but that was just for the laughs. Creative and talented as he was, he knew how to live a normal life.
1.33
The hand won't help ; )
I know the man who threw the Violin to Bowie
That’s nothing. I knew the violin.
Not biblically, of course ...
Wot?
No
Huh?
Oh ok
Never give me a violin
🎻
Unless you want something awful to happen
Even then...
Poor violin!
waste of a good fiddle that
Is it just me or is J Ross the worst interviewer with the fake laugh and really bad questions and timing?
Well the fact that real comedy like Everett's baffled him, says it all really.
Graham Norton is much better.
Both dead, all dead dead dead
when did Kenny die of aids I know he died before freddy
Kenny died on 4 April 1995, nearly three and a half years after Freddie. (I assume you mean Freddie Mercury?) He was absent from Freddie's funeral partly because he didn't like funerals, but also because he was sad that "Freddie won't be there."

Gus Venables strange that Kenny was diagnosed before Freddie and yet lived 3 1/2 years longer.
Freddie took meds up until a few days before his death..
They both probably had aids for years. Freddie put off getting tested. He just didnt want to know until he started getting sick.
They shared the same lovers and Kenny's wife thinks they got it from the Russian Nicholi.
Too many poppers
*everettt and bowie surely had a 'thing' together*
