This is a masterclass in comedy genius…I come back here and watch it on repeat as it makes me laugh so much. R.I.P. Barry Humphries - an absolute legend in the truest sense of the word.❤❤❤
Never missed it during its initial run on NBC Saturday evenings. It has aged well. Dame Edna will be around forever, thanks to the miracle of video. Genius all the way.
Chevy Chase comes across as completely humorless. He doesn't seem to have the slightest notion as to what Dame Edna is all about. Didn't he know that he was going to be sitting next to somebody who was actually FUNNY???
That was fear. One can only play along with Dame Edna for so long before she inevitably eviscerates her guest with the last thing they were expecting. All of these American Hollywood A-listers were used to being pampered by hosts, they wanted Edna to do this to them but when the moment came, very few could contain themselves. Just look at the other interviews with the nervous inappropriate laughing, they were all shitting themselves!
I loved this series when it aired. There were only three or four episodes though. This was my introduction to Dame Edna and Madge. It’s too bad she wasn’t better well known here in the US. This show could have run for years. Such brilliance. At least there are all of the shows she did in England and Australia that were made. I’m ever so glad to have seen Dame Edna live twice. So hysterical. So clever. Bravo and RIP Edna and Madge. Thank you for the magic and laughter.
This is why Kim was all the rage back in the day! Even so, she seemed particularly enamoured with >> in awe of Dame Edna? 😙 I most loved the way how Kim playfully pats Dame Edna's knee, before caressing Edna's lower leg emphatically! How Barry held himself together I don't know either??? 😙😙😉😉
In order to have some reactions, on his Necro-ass-Crawling, he laughed at his pwn jokes ... and it wasn't in vain ..5 other people thought so as well .. the new R.W. ????
5-17-2021- WOW WHAT A FLASHBACK - I REMEBER WHEN DR. JOYCE WAS SO POPULAR DURING THIS TIME - WOW - GLAD I FOUND EDNA AND HER SHOWS AGAIN - I HAVE HER IN MY FAVORITE LIST NOW I NEED TO FIND BENNY HILL - LOL -NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO THIS TYPE OF CLEAN BUT PROVACATIVE HUMOR
Quite somber moment at 44.44 when Dame Edna quotes 'Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be' - Robin Williams for a moment looks quite reflective, kind of sad especially knowing what we now know of his depression struggles RIP Barry Humphries and Robin Williams
maybe but he didnt kill himseld due to depression, but rather due to his fast deteriorating dementia. I will do exactly the same if I am in that position. It was a logical decision.
The fact that as Dame Edna was more than able to hold her own sat alongside Kim Basinger: in terms of overall look from hair to legs was a remarkable achievement...especially when you consider that on this occasion in particular Kim may well have been "out smoked" by a middle-aged geezer!!?? 😙😙😙
We should protest UA-cam's awful new practice of saturating every scene with commercials - before during and after each...interrupting a scene even at a vital moment UA-cam and GREED, together forever.
Kin Basenger was almost 40 when she appeared on that show and she was still hot. I always feel sad when I see Robin Williams, he had a tragic end. These shows were made about 30 years ago and that doesn`t seem like a long time ago to me, yet most of the guests who appeared on those shows are now dead. It makes me realise how short life is.
To be fair, explosive diarrhoea can be quite funny depending on who the victim is, but I totally agree Chevy is a very dislikable person I can't think of a single celebrity that has met him and still has a nice thing to say about him
Well said, i for one am sick to death of the PC, identity politics brigade that do their fucking best to ruin comedy. fuck them, part of celebrating difference is to laugh at and with each other
Because you're an immature celeb worshiper, and wants to turn these pranksters into something more important then they actually are, and to get ''likes'' hit's by abusing the emotional element to trick people in to comments, only ...it's not really working is it ?! ...did you cry when Mugabe died? No, apart from having dallen in a kettle with ''Panzher-Chocolatten'', R.W. was lot's of times, borderline Kindergarten humor, but most white people are extremely sensitive and very childish at times! Every single white Comedian, has dropped his trousers and ran bare ass in his career, and you all find it hilarious, then I rather watch Steve Martin Movies, everyone to his/her opinion, but ....cry ??? Trix r 4 kids
Chevy Chase is one of the biggest blunt TOOLS ever. I have never found him to be funny + never understood what all the fuss about him was; plus ---- he is a very cruel human being according to other comics who had the misfortune to work w/ him. Dame Edna sure knocked him off his high horse! Robin Williams stole the show near the end as only Robin could! Rue was such a sweet soul, a true _Lady_ --- all 3 are sorely missed now. May they all Rest in eternal LOVE in Heaven. ♥🙏
Chase was completely boorish! American "Megastars" have a hard time, taking some time out and just having a laugh at themselves. (Cher is an exception. Such a humble woman).It's more of, where's my next script? When's my next scheduled talk show appearance? Why hasn't my agent called me for three days? The cut throat biz of Hollywood.
So funny! Thanks a lot for these two programmes. Do you also have the (whole) episode with Barry Manilov and Burt Reynolds? I have missed it for so long...
Robin W's improv is always the same, ironically, and it's consistently bad. Still, at least he's not being a fundamentalist preacher this time. Hallelujah!
Different kinds of humour. Dame Edna relies on puns, innuendo and exquisitely timed bitchiness. That's why so many drag queens have emulated and copied her over the years. Robin Williams is much more physical farce and pushing scenes to the extremities of ridiculousness. The spiritual heir of someone like Carol Burnett (who btw I think was WAY funnier than Williams)
Lmao everyone’s perception of comedy is different, I personally find him hilarious - he’s walking chaos mixed in with quick witted political satire. His brains almost to quick for his mouth lol.

Do you think Chevy Chase knew about the chair flipping in advance?
This is NOT your average talk show!!!
It’s your EVERAGE riotous masterpiece!!!
really!
Never missed it during its initial run on NBC Saturday evenings. It has aged well. Dame Edna will be around forever, thanks to the miracle of video. Genius all the way.
...and shocking to realize how few of these wonderful people are still with us...
Honestly, Kim Basinger is an all time great movie beauty. She’s always been that beautiful.
These types of characters made us laugh so much back in the day that most of us didn’t have time to be sad…RIP Barry & Dame Edna
So THAT'S where Graham Norton got his flip backwards ejector chair idea from! 😆😆😆
I don’t know how Madge kept a straight face lol. Rest in love Dame Edna.
I remember the George Hamilton sketch from back when this originally aired. That was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen.
LOL....I think of a talk show as a monologue interrupted by total strangers. Great comeback Edna.

I know this comment is 2 years old, but it is exactly how I felt watching Chase.
Leen, Chevy was always known to be a total dick on the set. He was hard to get along with.

@@tigergreg8 I met his sister 25 years ago and she assured me that he was indeed a total dick.
todd craig That’s why she’s still funny and he’s fat and miserable. Some have it and some have it made for them.

This was before the ''cancelled culture'' right now
Amazing how Dame Edna predicted the future of ''cancelled''.
This is comedy gold! Thanks for posting it! :)
Chevy Chase, what a drag. He looks mad.
REST IN PEACE DAME EDNA
Rue is polite and well mannered. Miss her so much. RIP Rue.
RIP Robin Williams. RIP Dame Edna, I need to find out if Madge is still with us (Jan 2024)
This is why Kim was all the rage back in the day! Even so, she seemed particularly enamoured with >> in awe of Dame Edna? 😙 I most loved the way how Kim playfully pats Dame Edna's knee, before caressing Edna's lower leg emphatically! How Barry held himself together I don't know either??? 😙😙😉😉
Yes I think he might have had a standing ovation😂😂😂
Kim B is on point and rolling well with Dame E.
Ringo hasn’t changed in 30 years
What Salvador Dali said on his deathbed also applies to Dame Edna:
"A genius should never die".
The last
Dali wasn't a genius, just a narcissist

George hamilton is fantastic ... He gets it ...
Yep! GEorge laughs and jokes of himself, that's really funny and admirable!🙋
Agreed, I was not sure about George before but how they handle being with Dame Edna is a real test of character that George passed with flying colours
Dame Edna is the funniest ''woman'' alive!
As much of a woman as many ‘female’ swimmers 👍
@@WWAWHTR yawn 🥱 boring
Think again !
An artist's artist.

I miss her
you miss anything , from self abuse, to being abused .... get a another dog, if the present one , gives you time to spend on you Tube
@@mutanazublond4391 Thank you for pointing that out.
Holy shit they got Ringo 😮
All he had to do was...act naturally...and they said he'd then be a big starrrrr
Dame Edna is an affectionate character, sharp and witty.. A beautiful human being!
"He probably wants a raise thats bad news..."😂
🎉Kim Basinger❤she is a gift send from heaven😊
A monologue interrupted by total strangers😂😂😂😂
Kim Basinger is absolutely charming, she seems very respectful to the amazing Dame Edna, and I find it so cute❤.
many ppl look strangers from long to short hair, but Kim pulls it off ❤️ her

Kim beguiled and Chevy riled - Farewell Dame Edna!
Isn't she's wonderful in a spooky kind of way, I just love her
Were you aware Dame Edna's *best friend* is named Barry Humphries? xxx
Wonderful comedy! I knew when Robin came on Dame Edna was going to have a run for her money. Tit for tat!😂😅😂😉🤣😂😁😅😊
I agree with all these comments, I had actually forgotten how very very funny the Dame Edna experience was I love her so very funny
30:40 Chevy put firmly in his place. He’s always been a jerk.
Remember when he claimed Cary Grant made a move on him?
Kin Basenger was almost 40 when she appeared on that show and she was still hot.
I always feel sad when I see Robin Williams, he had a tragic end.
These shows were made about 30 years ago and that doesn`t seem like a long time ago to me, yet most of the guests who appeared on those shows are now dead.

Kim is so cool!
Chevy chase. Still hated and talentless today. But he made his dollar
I'm sorry but Chevy Chase is about as funny as explosive diarrhea
To be fair, explosive diarrhoea can be quite funny depending on who the victim is, but I totally agree Chevy is a very dislikable person
I can't think of a single celebrity that has met him and still has a nice thing to say about him
Chevy Chase looks like George W Bush. For some reason I was expecting him to look like Dan Ackroyd!
Chevy Chase and his ego 😂
The time we could laugh at our differences rather than PC each other because of them.
Well said, i for one am sick to death of the PC, identity politics brigade that do their fucking best to ruin comedy. fuck them, part of celebrating difference is to laugh at and with each other
Kim is still one beautiful lady, almost as big a star as Dame Edna!
40:38
Dame Edna: I ordered a pizza but this is ridiculous possums.
Me: I know 😂
You, Just Gotta, watch This & Laugh with Dame Edna, Madge, Ringo Starr, Kim Basinger & George Hamilton xoxoxo
Why have you started most words with a capital?🤷🏼♀️
Chevy needed ejecting! 😝
damn why did i start crying when i saw robin williams

I never thought he was funny either.

Yes, shame about the American accent though

Chevy was a real hero of my mine especially as fletch ... But he just doesn't get it does he ... He has no real sense of humor ...
Brett Wyatt No, he's reportedly the biggest prick in Hollywood.
I couldn't believe how nervous he was on his late night talk show. And he stayed just as nervous through the mont it ran.
Feltch.

Kim Basinger was hot 25 years ago, and Chevy is great when he has a script, but he's not the best of ad-libbers..
Chase is a bit childish here. Knows he's not as funny as Edna
Edna has been replaced by Alan Carr 😅 things are in good hands but nobody will actually replace Edna a real MEGASTAR 😂
Nah! This was Chevy at his funniest.
An icon of dry humor layn it all down!
Chevy was kind of rude!
Turn the heat up and cook GH to medium well.

Barry is the best
she looks hot at 39
Robin W's improv is always the same, ironically, and it's consistently bad. Still, at least he's not being a fundamentalist preacher this time. Hallelujah!
Chevy just has "dry" humor. Very dry!🙄😶😳
The tiresome Robin Williams schtick, loud and manic makes anything funny.....NOHHHT
Will G Edna had quite a job to sooooooomehow eventually reign him in to even introduce him and move on from his explosiveness! 😂👍
