Reminds us all how brilliant Charles Pierce was, and how absolutely inept Skip E Lowe was. But it's always good to see any footage of Charles Pierce. Even with the absurd SEL, who clearly never did any research, homework, or listening.
Why is everyone dissing 'Skippy' E Lowe? He's a rather quaint, charming old character. The interruptive conversational to 'n fro of the interview makes of it such a natural and relaxed meeting of minds that throws up amusing repartee and a genuine enthusiastic engagement between the two queens in a real live conversation that's not at all contrived to suit some commercial straightjacketed TV formula as of today's po-faced TV presenters asking a prepared question for the celebrity interviewee to answer too often in formulaic uninterrupted twitching nervous body-language manner as to be cringeworthy. None of that embarrassing artificiality in this old show. This is real and genuine conversation.
Skip E. Lowe's interviewing style is definitely an acquired taste. The first I watched was his interview with Hollywood golden era director Victor Sherman. I wish Skip had let Victor finish his stories *sigh*. But part of Skip's appeal is indeed his wayward goofiness. Thanks for all the uploads Alan.
I unfortunately discovered Charles Pierce AFTER he had passed away. What a genius. His impersonation of Joan Collins was KILLING, and then he destroyed with his final line: "She's a great female impersonator." (By the way, Pierce as Tallulah looked uncannily like Anne Bancroft, another talent gone before her time.)
I love them both.. Charles was a supreme impersonator! I love Skippy, he always addresses his guests in the 3rd person... I think Jack from Will & Grace is somewhat based upon him. I love Dame Edna which is a character not an impersonation.
Dame Edna was about satire in the traditional English character role of a straight man playing a woman everyone knows in their own lives, and goes out of their way to avoid. It’s not about sexiness.....the absolute contrary. BH’s “humour is to find pleasure in the misfortune of others” He’s all over UA-cam. He also parodies the gays.....Dame Edna’s character has two children: Kenny and Pat. (Both gay) Look up the Whirlpool (Australia 1970) commercials on UA-cam. Dame Edna talks about her new Whirlpool. Notice the pic pinned to the wall of Kenny’s Room. Can you imaginine “possums” how this commercial wouldn’t even go on USA tv in the 1970’s or now. Lol BH has several characters be played over the years. Sir Les Paterson Dame Edna Everage and a follow named Barry Humfries.
@@nancybogart3899 well, Edna was , as she said , a superstar housewife. She had a life story about her life as a girl, growing up and her life as a housewife, that became famous , because of who she is, in her mind and her life before an after becoming famous. Completely different from Charles P. Danny Larue, etc
It’s wasn’t hate necessarily. It was the unknown. Dame Edna was a parody on herself and those she represented in society. BH wasn’t gay.....that he would have any need to be a dragqueen -like figure. Drag Queen he was not, and we all know this know and surely love everything BH did in the last 40 years. Dame Edna made fun of others for their own awful faults.....at the same time poking fun at herself and her vast ego. She really did typify the 1980’s and 90’s. Her frocks were absolutely horrible creations....which were too parodies of those awful 1980’s gowns and clothes women used to wear then. BH was a satirist in the English tradition. He made us laugh at ourselves. “And don’t we need to laugh at ourselves today Possums” especially in these times of hurt feelings..all the more reason to laugh at the snowflake and Antifa bums.
he played in cheezy dives that weren't safe for real celebrities to be seen at as they said themselves and they didn't think he was anything more than just a second rate drag queen.
Hmm... The Marines Memorial in S.F., where I saw him, is a "cheezy dive?" You might need to lie down for a bit. You're suffering from one of your spells.
he couldn't get work anymore anywhere. he was old and everyone got tired of his tired old acts. He couldn't draw even 25 people anymore. he wasn't marketable and couldn't make money for the club owners. that's why he had to keep advertising himself as a final appearance.
What a sad, tired queen you must be. Charles Pierce was, beyond his obvious talent, a warm, friendly, generous performer who loved his audiences. Corny at times? Yes. But never small and mean, as you seem to be.
Skip E Lowe was a great and Fun interviewer...He was funny too! I love watching all his show videos with the stars. Thank you for posting them Alan!
Charles Pierce career should have been lots bigger! He was smart and very talented and enormously energetic.

Kirk Frederick you stole the words out of my mouth lol.
Kirk Frederick marry me NOW! Please?
I LOVE his Tallulah impressions!!!!! :-)
Hilarious! I really enjoyed this interviewee. If he also wrote his own skits, he is both a great entertainer and writer. Many thanks! ❤

Absolutely!
I agree!! I Love Skip E Lowe too....I love the way he interviews people.

Charles really had to direct this interview. what a trainwreck. always professional. rip
He was so talented, gosh, he is over the top but authentic to the same time.
What a lovely funny interview with lovely funny educated folk.

what a true talent
This interviewer constantly interrupts and the woman chimeing in. Charles Pierce was truly brilliant and always a delight being interviewed.
Love!
Yes Skip is a terrible interviewer, but all of these people knew what they were signing up for and his show ran for nearly 40 years.
What a legend... Great sense of humor. Love it, especially when he does Miss. Bankhead.
charles P. was amazing! the other guy has to be the inspiration for Jimney Glick!
He sure was!! 😅
I came here with the exact comment! Jiminey Glick incarnate, only not funny. He’s awful. He won’t let him talk!
Why is Beverly Leslie interviewing Charles Pierce?
LOL
I thought it was Jiminy Glick's half-sister!
Beverly Leslie looks Butch compared to him.
Brad -- you’re TOO CUTE
starky and hutch... just a pretty boy who works the streets!
in the thumbnail i thought that was Leslie Jordan interviewing him and its some dude named Skip E. Lowe lol.
Charles Pierce (July 14, 1926 - May 31, 1999)
Skip E Lowe is soooooo leacherous and is such a terrible interviewer! GURRRRRLLLLLEEEEEN!! Lol!!
CHARLES WAS TRULY TALENTED.....TOO BAD HE HAD TO BE INTERVIEWED BY THAT STRANGE CREATURE
They were acquaintances back East years before SKIPPY did this foolish/horrible cable access show.
The interviewer kinda reminds me of Beverly Leslie from Will and Grace.
“I played an oar” (Titanic)🤣🤣🤣
Skip E. Lowe is the inspiration of Jimney Glick
I love them both.. Charles was a supreme impersonator! I love Skippy, he always addresses his guests in the 3rd person... I think Jack from Will & Grace is somewhat based upon him. I love Dame Edna which is a character not an impersonation.
And was Australian and NOT English!
Skip keeps interupting!! its so annoying
VERY!
WHY is this female here???
Skip E. Lowe probably rents her garage as his bedroom.
@@TheMrchuck2000 😂😂😂😂😅
I ❤ u Charles!!!!

Sir Les Paterson
Dame Edna Everage
and a follow named Barry Humfries.
Barry Humphries wasn’t just straight, he was a philanderer and married 4 times.
Ja - Little bit o'Skip... goes a LONG way.
Does grabbing a pineapple and placing it on your head and saying "Look I'm Carmen Miranda" qualify as "doing Carmen Miranda"?
What is a Skip E Lowe? Hook, please.
Who is Gypsy they are referring too??? 💁🏻
The trans comic who ran a female impersonator club called "Gypsy's" that was like La Cage Aux Folles."
Alan Eichler
Ohhh, thank you 🙏🏻
Gypsy is a male actor (not trans) named James Haake. Still alive. Look him up.
Comic wealth is a matter of proud moral bankruptcy... love it or hate it, it's still funny.
Mark Winston Suits oh that's very good
That interviewer...geez.
he was my pal...............loved this man
🎉❤
they clearly don't get what Dame Edna was about
slh950 well then . TELL US PLEASE!
@@nancybogart3899 well, Edna was , as she said , a superstar housewife.

Jimney Click, indeed!! Now, we know!! 😅😅😅
Dame Edna is hilarious.
Jiminy Glick inspiration for Martin Short
why all this hate towards Dame Edna?
Competion!!!
I don't know. Dame Edna was a great personality and formidable stand up

Pandora Boxx should play him
AMAZINGG!!!!
ok but am i the only one who wants that bette davis card for their birthday ?
The girl in the orange outfit is like nails on a chalkboard. So grating! Like a bad 900 number voice.
He always sais. "the gays". As if he's discluded.
Charles was fantastic, but he did a lousy Joan Crawford and Joan Collins.
this is kind of a nod to where drag is these days
Who the hell is the interviewer - he’s infuriating! Does he ever shut up? How, in 1992, does he not know much about Dame Edna/Barry Humphries?
Skippy looks like Leslie Jordan with a mop on his head.
Who is that woman who introduced this show? get her off!!
his biggest problem is that he would talk like them but stopped sounding like them all.
Pierce doesn’t even come close to dame Edna…..
The interviewer reminds me of Beverly from Roseanne.
👍🏼👍🏼
I lo Dame Edna 😊
Jiminy Glick!
That whatever in the background counting pearls isn't funny at all
Ikr? I was just scrolling to see if anyone was going to mention this. Just cringe!😳
Jiminy Glick
God that Skip Lowe is SO Obnoxious!!!! 😒
Get real chicken...
his joan crawford was the worst
these folks are sick
he played in cheezy dives that weren't safe for real celebrities to be seen at as they said themselves and they didn't think he was anything more than just a second rate drag queen.
Hmm... The Marines Memorial in S.F., where I saw him, is a "cheezy dive?" You might need to lie down for a bit. You're suffering from one of your spells.
I guess the *Dorothy Chandler Pavillion* is a "cheezy dive" to you, too?
Oh, do shut up, you miserable hag.
bitter much...?
Sad comment from a sad little person.
he couldn't get work anymore anywhere. he was old and everyone got tired of his tired old acts. He couldn't draw even 25 people anymore. he wasn't marketable and couldn't make money for the club owners. that's why he had to keep advertising himself as a final appearance.

The actor playing Joan's date is so freaking hot.
