    I come from a school that Barry Humphries (the man behind the drag of Dame Edna) went to and he sponsored a prize for Contribution to the Arts, which I won in 2001. I am so happy that I played some part in this history. Dame Edna is an icon and so is Barry. The fact that a straight man who created a drag character who went international is in the age that it happened is just staggering. RIP Barry.

      Yes this is true. He was a straight man who played female ...Dame Edna. When you see the brilliant devastation he inflicted on "normality" you get an idea of how encompassing his intellect really was.

      My dad was at school when Barry was. Apparently to piss off the jocks he used to go behind the goal posts and play his violin. Agree 200%, RIP Barry, we will never see his like again. He was a trend setter for lots of people who came after him. A pity the socially intolerant cancelled him a couple of years before he died. No class.

    What is so totally priceless about Barry Humphries is that he created two totally opposite characters, Dame Edna and Sir less Pattison, neither of whom could stand the other or him, their supposed Manager. How he juggled all that and kept audiences in stiches for decades made him one of the great icons of comedy.

    I always get a sense that when Dame does these shows, people are mortified about what she is going to do or say. A master comedian our Dame. I could tell that there was a time crunch, Dame gave Conan a short list of "casual topics", but ran out of time near the end seeming rushed and uncomfortable, yet Dame was just getting started.
    Our Dame is now making everyone laugh their asses off in the next world. Thanking you for blessing us with your grace.

      Why all this talk about Michael Parkinson, possums? Many of these people, these so called stars that Michael had on his show were non-entities. Some were real stars. They were friends of mine whom I had helped in the past and who needed an appearance on a show. So I mentioned them to Michael, working behind the scenes, putting shows together for him using my connections, taking time out of my busy schedule. I like to help people. It's just the kind of person I am. Every time I was on the show I got exciting reviews, being a megastar. The audience loved me and Michael did too. He was lucky enough to be my guest several times over the years. He told me I was his favourite, my female urges and juices coming out in great gusts. I shared my experiences, always in the strictest confidence. Sadly, all things must end. Thank you for having me in your homes viewers! Dame E. Everage (The Megastar that won't go away!)".

    Perfect interview. I am Aussie and Conan played the foil perfectly. I don’t quite understand the criticism of Conan in the comments. The whole point of Barry’s humour was that you could be anyone at all around him and he had an angle. You could try to shut Barry down, play along, try to keep up, it really didn’t matter at all; Barry had an agenda to launch from wherever you are into whatever he already found funny. You just had to be there, turn up, and he was “on”.

      The only reason that the Brit's 'got' Edna so quickly is simply that there are a huge number of Australians there. So they were used to the dry, edgy comic tone of funny Australians and the kind of character that was the target of the humor. They knew this character because at a stretch she could be English or Irish. It was scathing satire. American audiences took a while to get the joke late because they just hadn't seen a great deal of Edna, or Australians in general - but when it clicked, they totally got the jokes. Resist at your peril. He was so off the charts hilarious that he made some people nervous, and that included some Australian guests. Watch Edna with Germaine Greer. She had zero sense of humor, and Edna went in for the kill. I met him once and he was the most charming man. Edna was always referred to as a a real person not a character. He could never get away with it now sadly. He was quite brilliant.

    Two legends of comedy. This was marvelous. Although I don't think Conan knew what to do with Dame Edna. For an equally awkward interview, look up the Tonight Show clip where Johnny Carson was interviewing rising star Tiny Tim in the 1960s. Comic genius!

    What is all this talk about Dame Edna being deceased. She won't hear of it! Being an experienced psychic she contacted me this evening to help set the record straight. She sends her love to all possums and points out that many of her longtime gynaecologists, among them Mr Iglesias Sr and Mr Markle, have looked her over closely, and concluded that she is at the height of her powers, and that, like so many women of to-day, she has strong female drives urges and juices.
