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.
@@evanevans1843 By socially intolerant, do you mean people and organisations who stood up for trans people when Barry publicly said that gender-affirmation surgery was “self-mutilation” and being transgender is “a fashion”? Weird how you don't see the glaring irony of your comment.
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.
There'll never be another Dame Edna! It was the right person at just the right time. Nobody was able to get one over on her! The whole mind worked in funny 🤣 🥰
In my lifetime/ memory…there’s never been a more commanding stage presence than Dame Edna. She was totally in charge whenever she was in front of an audience. No one could compete with or upstage her. A great talent.
Barely a second ago this psychic message appeared in the ether. Some light needs to be shed on this mysterious missive. Perhaps a viewer from the Commonwealth could Have a Riesling and play the Ump; 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!)".
Michael Parkinson was the best interviewer full stop, for that very reason: he knew he wasn't the star of the show, people didn't tune in to hear what he had to say. Someone needed to tell this tool Conan that.
@@highdownmartinHe’s acting like an attention seeking, spoilt brat. Any interviewer worth their salt knows that you sit there and let the Dame run with it. It’s easy money, plus the audience loves her.
Extremely talented and intelligent entertainer Conan was silly here not letting himself be quiet and letting edna transport the audience to a high Plateau of hilarity, barry Humphreys gave the politest hint to shut up ive ever heard, you preempted me😂
He just didn`t get her at all did he? Dame Edna is an act that needed to be set free and unleashed to get the best out of her . This guy didn`t want to hand over his show in case his ego was bruised and he missed a great opportunity . Barry was a comedic genuis and is sorely missed
So glad I got to see Dame Edna in person in NYC. The weird thing about seeing her the night I saw her was that she called out one of the actors of Kids in the Hall (Scott Foley) onto the stage with her. Great night of comedy.
Brilliant as always but I don’t think the interviewer understood all he had to do was sit back and let the Dame hold court and entertain us .He was too worried at what she might say .A shame because he didn’t let Dame Edna shine
To see have seen her live is an incredible experience one never forgets. She fed off the audience, and seem almost psychically able to play to the crowd at hand. I never laughed so much in my life. Anyone else sense Conan was uncomfortable???
She had her show here in the UK the dame edna experience. She wouldn’t let Mel gibson in even though he begged, then went to the shops to buy oranges so he could juggle them and she still wouldn’t let him in. Charlton heston walking downstairs and she pulled a trapdoor on him.

Because he was too busy interrupting her and trying to get his own gags in. Shockingly bad interviewer as the majority of US interviewers seem to be. They make the show all about them instead of the guests. Wrong.
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”.
I rather fear that the Americans do not have the same sense of humour as others, or is it just the highest post there are very few people as funny as Dame Edna. ❤
People rail at people in drag doing shows, but Dame Edna was a staple in Aussie houses for decades and even the most conservative ppl thought nothing of it
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!
I agree with an earlier comment about Michael Parkinson just sitting back and laughing. Americans just do not get the character as you can hear from the audience's feeble laughs. And American hosts feel obliged to compete.
To be fair to Conan, his skill was in interviewing celebrities who are usually quite boring and unfunny. He made those interviews compelling. He just doesnt realise that with Dame Edna, a whole other approach is needed...ie ask the pre ordained questions and otherwise shutup!
Actually Conan is quite a good and naturally funny talk show host, but here he does seem disconnected, I think because he couldn't handle such an Australian superstar, he is pretty good with American celebrities.
He was just a bit nervous that's all. Edna made people nervous! He realized quickly that he would come of best if he let Edna go, and when he did it was a very funny chat.
Edna dealt with this subject before. She had Gina Lollobrigida on her show who said that her father was a retired gynecologist: Edna: Is he completely retired, or does he like to keep his hand in? Noticing Gina's shocked expression: Edna: My gynecologist is an old friend of the family - he goes back a long way.
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.

The struggle for control begins instantly! Edna dominates every interview she's in, totally hilariously and the wiser host just lets her do it.
exactly!
Not Conan! He doesn't even recognise the jokes.
@@ChrisChanningChannelyes, she always focuses on guests, soz him, when drag didn’t have the vitriol it has these days
The host is a selfcentered jerk.
I was going to say - I love Conan, but this was one where he really missed it. HE THINKS ... that this is a conversation.
Rest in Peace Barry, you will never be replaced, I laugh and shriek when I listen to you.
Barry Humphries was one of a kind!!! He is loved and missed.
I saw her live in 1979 my mother surprised my siblings as I with front row seats. We all howled with laughter from start to finish.
What's even funnier than Dame Edna's dialogue is the slightly awkward, panicky expression of the host.
Rest in peace Mr Barry Humpries! This will be our first Christmas without you here in Australia...❤❤❤
The world is a sadder place without him. He is loved and deeply missed.
Very sadly missed here in the UK too! RIP Barry/Edna/Sir Les.
Ultimate comedy genius. No one comes close. RIP
