- Sky News host Caroline Di Russo has paid tribute to Australian comedian Barry Humphries who passed away following complications from hip surgery.
“Humphries was an exceptional actor in his own right, but he will forever remain in the forefront of the Australian cultural psyche for his characters Sir Les Paterson and Dame Edna Everage,” she said.
Ms Di Russo said Dame Edna Everage had a “wonderful rapport” with the Royal Family, particularly the late Queen.
“It wasn't just the Queen; the Dame pulled this great prank on Charles and Camilla in 2013,” she said.
“So, to Barry, Sir Les and the great Dame, you have been an inexorable part of Australia for decades and have an unassailable place in our culture and in our hearts. Thank you.”
I adored Dame Edna.
❤👏 Thank you and farewell. To the greatest Australian comedian ever 😢
Touching tribute - thank you. The world is a much darker place without Barry Humphries.
Canada loves you then, now and forever Barry 😘
Very well presented! Eloquently spoken, a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man. Love from Canada!
As an American, I discovered and fell in love with British humor back in 1999. Makes more sense and is far funnier than American humor. I will miss Dame Edna😢.
He’s Australian
Thank you Australia for sharing Barry Humphries with us. He was a MEGA star ⭐⭐❤
Do you know how much Barry was loved across the world? He was a genius, nobody could deliver an insult as elegantly as he could, and with such warmth, as Dame Edna. But he was spectacular as himself, too. I love all the interviews with him. God bless him!
He managedto do it tongue in cheek and disguise it in a way that didn't leave him open to heavy criticism.
I think in 10 to 20 years from now we'll appreciated Barry even more. There aren't many original entertainers left.
I remember in the 70s and 80s my father and I always watched Dame Edna's shows, My father was born in Essendon and grew up in Moonee Ponds so he had a connection to Dame Edna.
Sadly my father passed away in 1992 and no Barry is gone also.
I wish we still had some old fashioned comedians and entertainers as there's not enough laughter in the world anymore.
He was great.
🌹Whoever wrote the tribute for this broadcast needs to be commended. Well said. Thank you. 🌹
It’s rude to disrespect the dead. So if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it. Just because you are all woke behind the safety of your keyboards does not make you right and you would never be so rude as to talk to your own grandparents that way. He was 89 and from a different time and generation. Times change but he was still as entitled to his opinion as much as you. He was also very funny and achieved a lot.
Brava! I echo your sentiments word per word. 👏
Well said
True but even being from a different time I am the next generation down and I still agree with all he has said.
I'm an American and my entire family loved watching Dame Edna back in the 1960s and 70s! She/He was hilarious! RIP
Really? I had no idea that Dame Edna or Barry was so well known to Americans?
My father was born in Essendon and grew up in Moonee Ponds, the home of Dame Edna.
We mainly watched Dame Edna in the late 70s and 80s. I used to laugh whenever Dame Edna stood up to greet guests and would do a little light jog in those heels.
And the Gladiola flowers..............
"Hllo Possums"
Possums I know about, they are in great abundance in Melbourne! 😉
Dame Edna will go on as a fixture in Australian wit and comedy a joy for many people goodnight dear one .... RIP
A wonderful tribute. Too laugh again, normally and happily. We will miss him very much. Thank You.
Beautiful tribute ❤
I can't help but think of all the coordination required for the jubilee introduction and the royal box prank. Both were definitely cheeky, and only worked because Barry Humphreys had a good relationship with the royals. Cheeky, but not insulting.
Well Dame Edna was Australian Royalty, after all it takes one to know one. 👑
I really have loved Barry Humphries. He was a brilliant man to have that kind of satire and stiletto pin point accuracy in his observations. I dreaded this day and although Barry was Australian and lived in Great Britain, as an American I think he was a citizen of the world. I fondly say farewell to this gift who gave joy to so many.
What do you mean he lived in Great Britain?.he may have lived there briefly many many years ago but he was a Melburnian through and through and lived in Camberwell for a large chunk of his life.
He loved it there.
Dame Edna was from Moonee Ponds, the other side of town. 😉
Genius. They don't make them like that any more. Rest well funny man 🇦🇺❤
Thanks, Mr. Humphries. You helped the world become a better (and much funnier) place.
Lots of respect and truly admiration from a Brazilian fan.
RIP
❤
I wouldn't have wanted to be in crosshairs with Dame Edna. The royals were smarter to befriend the Dame
I remember when Dame Edna introduced one of the Commonwealth games and she said about the 'poor American's are still trying to work out why they haven't been invited', a very sad loss. God Bless Barry from the the UK❤
Hahahahahaha........yes thats gold.
As Dame Edna would say "Independence has its drawbacks!" 😉🤣
What a star RIP 🙏 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Think, in 🇮🇹, people didn't know him
I knew him because of the great performance of the prank at the theatre with K. Charles & Q.Camilla but I saw the prank in 2022 only ( it was shot in 2013)
❤d him so much at 1st sight, and I began to see his shows of the past, and now I feel very sorry about this loss😌 because he' s dead just in the period I began to appreciate him...but nevermind...I can watch a lot of videos about him
P.s And i' m sorry 4 my 🇬🇧 too😜
I like sir Les Patterson by Barry Humphries he played that character so so bloody well i grew up around watching Barry portrayed sir Les Patterson i like that character ever ever since I was a little boy farewell Barry R.I.P sir Les Patterson 😢😢😢
I enjoyed him as the Dame. He brought giggles to many of us who needed them. May he rest in peace.
The ABC's disgraceful and insulting epithet about Barry on tonight's news was a new low for them.
RIP Housewife megastar and the cultural attache to the court of St James. The tears of laughter I have cried watching you over the years will never be forgotten. After the death of Paul O'Grady recently too we have lost 2 LEGENDS. And I mean that in a caring way possoms..
Please don't allow the Woke to make geniuses such as this extinct!
Beautifully put. 😥
Condolences to Valmai, Kenny and Kenny's homeopathic roommate. A religious man from Boston who 'toyed' with the priesthood.
A man of trobosthish zenenith ,a pinickal of light of and lafter cootoes to you !possum
Thank you , a wonderful tribute. We greatly respected the work of Barry Humphries here in Britain. What a man!
Everyone is dying 😢
Yes, the past few years have been disastrous.
Sportsmen, actors, royalty, comedians, singers.............I'm starting to wonder if the covid vaccine is responsible in some way?
Its very scary either way.
Heaven is Filling up with All the Funniest and Best people now, they'll All be Terribly Missed.
@@carriered4715 best people? Filling up? Not many good people considering 99.5% of humans are filthy parasites
I can’t believe I didn’t know this till today.. I enjoyed dame Edna.. god bless ..
Yes. I think they recognised the Australian humour and appreciated the strong bonds between our nations.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Dame Edna & Friends🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
The distraction never ends
How is BH's death a distraction?
@@Hodaris_Darlin very easy. We're not all supporters of BH. I personally don't believe in blokes dressing up as women. But in this Labor woke Age l might stand alone. I grew up near Camberwell. That's enough for me.
@Ran Dom all the same to me. Serious issues l think.
@Ran Dom what ever. I could never understand why blokes like to dress up as a woman. There's plenty who do. Especially in football clubs. To me it's not normal. But then again maybe lm old fashioned and not woke enough.
Thank you.
"and with great sadness 😃😃🙂"
Oh I bet they had a great rapport - they were all in the same club!! 😎
Yeah no f#ucking wokeness.
Oh! they have a gas that they release that make all your mucus membranes open up. This gas also makes it easier for them to hypnotise you. I do believe a lot of people are walking around totally with no conscious ability of their own.
You sound like the sheep.
Its a man
We all know that, its just a character calm down.
,man.
