Meeting Wayland and Madame backstage at the Roxy theater those many years ago is one of many highlights in my life. I have a photograph with them both and myself. Good times indeed.
If you get a chance check out the orignal match game. Betty white, Charles Nelson Reilly, Brett Sommer and Fannie Flag make that show pretty damn funny
@@Moebian73 Oh, forgot about Lady Elaine. Yes, she was on the same disturbing level as Madame, but nowhere near as funny. Which was worse to me and confusing. As a kid I wondered why Elaine looked so harsh and wasn't out to cook kids in a cauldron inside her hut, or be insanely funny and fabulous. 😋
I just realised something. On Drag Race Raja played Madam on Snatch Game (AS7), and his friend Raven payed Bea Arthur many years ago in an early series of RPDR (AS1).
@@pr3ttyb0ydlgjaja I agree... I must admit that I didnt like Trinity much in the previous season but this season she is blowing me away with her personality. I wont mind if she wins. My Top 4: Shea, Jinx, Trinity, Raja... always been a Roger fan... haha...
Like many, I am here because of Raja. However, I had remembered seeing images of Madame as a kid, but without knowing who she was. I adore Bea Arthur so I'm glad that these two queens got together to sling shade
The part where Madame says: "if he dies, he dies." Wouldn't that have been more appropriate coming from Rose Nylund? C'mon all you fellow Golden Girls fans know what I'm talking about
The way they bicker, they should have performed “Bosom Buddies”. That would have been perfect for television’s two biggest divas since Bea Arthur mud wrestled Lassie for a pork chop bone! AND WON! Leaving Lassie hungry & dirty, with a gnawed on hindquarters! Bea was hungry! Shut up!
I barely even remember seeing Madam as a kid, I was born at the very end of her days… but I too am here from Drag Race to see that Raja did an exact impression of Madam. Nice!
All the jokes about Rock Hudson in this sketch was so prophetic. Kind of like Hollywood's way of telling the world without telling the world. I do miss comedy like this.
Loved Bea Arthur in Maude and then the Golden Girls. All ways had a huge crush for Rock Hudson loved him in GIANT I wonder if he made me gay…. I sure would let him take advantage of me….so political incorrect..lol God Bless them both. Cheers 🇨🇦
1:58 "Your not going to grab Rock Hudson's gusto on my show" i feel like thats peak Bea Arthur, her ability to make being a sobering and serious person funny is truly unique. Her ability to elevate and accentuate other peoples humor while also being funny is the kind of dynamic craft of comedy that is rare these days.
Bea Arthur, Kathleen Turner, Natasha Lyonne, and Lucille Ball near her end - have a tv show together in my fantasy. Toni Braxton does the theme song. Feel free to cast your own deep-voiced actresses.
You could tell that Bea was angry with Madame for being so disingenuous. Madame and Rock Hudson knew each other back in the fifties. They used to be seen together at The Brown Derby, and questions remain as to which one was the Beard.

Those are her summer diamonds...
Summer diamonds...and summer not.
How is this comment two weeks old?!
Lmfao
@@peteradaniel weird
@@peteradaniel drag race producer
@@peteradaniel Its an old joke. Raja didn't make it up lol Jaymes Mansfield made the same joke on Drag Race.
Bea had such an impeccable sense of comic timing. She really was a unique talent.
You can see her trying not to laugh when Madame tossed her sunglasses XD
Who’s here after Raja’s fabulous performance as Madame on the snatch game 😍
Raja Gemini channeled Madame from the after life!
Didn't even have to hunt for it, the algorithm loves me.
Me 🙋🏾♀️
Madam died???? She is still out there.... dont say it is so. Wayland... well Madam can be heard to work with.... he was a good man🤪
We all are
“Beauty is skin deep but ugly is to the bone!”. Come through Madame🤣🙏🏼✨⚖️💜
'If he dies, he dies!' Now that's confidence
Meeting Wayland and Madame backstage at the Roxy theater those many years ago is one of many highlights in my life. I have a photograph with them both and myself. Good times indeed.
Haha Bea Arthur has such a genuine way of making us laugh. Even with Madame, she can roll with the best of them!! lol
I’m only here because of Drag Race and I’m so glad Raja introduced me to Madame, I’m obsessed 😩😂💅🏾.
If you get a chance check out the orignal match game.
Betty white, Charles Nelson Reilly, Brett Sommer and Fannie Flag make that show pretty damn funny
This takes me back when I was a child watching TV with the knobs on it😅😅 memories!
“Yes, when and where!” Mood! 🔥
The way Bea is channeling Dorothy Zbornak's sarcasm 💖 Love her so much
That's Bea's sarcasm.
Bea looks absolutely beautiful. Stunning.❤
Bea was right: Rock Hudson would never take advantage of a woman. Truer words have seldom been spoken.
MAWMA... I'm dead 💀💀💀
Was looking to see if this joke had already been made
So original
(Sophia voice) He's gayer than a picnic basket
“I have very little to say about sex.....yes, Where and when” ok me
In all honesty, Bea Arthur was an attractive woman. ❤️
Yes she was. She wasn’t young and girly and “pretty” but she was still a good looking woman.
She was a handsome woman in the best possible way...
I think Bea was a handsome woman. Not in the sense that she was masculine but in the sense that her beauty was bold. I also find her incredibly sexy.
She really was beautiful, strong and funny. I love her hair like this.
The shade! The shade of it all!
Madame freaked me out when I was a kid. It was the way she looked but she was always hilarious.
I had nightmares about her face all the time. She scared the crap out of me until I was around 20
😆 Same here. I found Madame a bit scary and off-putting, but quirkily funny like the Crypt Keeper from Creepshow.
She & Lady Elaine Fairchilde on Mr. Rogers freaked me out as a kid.
@@Moebian73 Oh, forgot about Lady Elaine. Yes, she was on the same disturbing level as Madame, but nowhere near as funny. Which was worse to me and confusing.

I love Wayland Flowers and Madame and their assorted friends. I knew them briefly.

And yvie did a runway blending b Arthur and cardi b

Mercy god are there gay people on here???👀💋
Two of the greatest…I am so pleased to see them together. Thanks for posting.
Perfect combo for comedy 😂 Love this!
the way she tossed them sunglasses
Omg Raja and Yvie look so different 😍
Like many, I am here because of Raja. However, I had remembered seeing images of Madame as a kid, but without knowing who she was. I adore Bea Arthur so I'm glad that these two queens got together to sling shade
Raja just introduced me to this amazing character!! I love Madame!!
They looks lovely
R.I.P. Beatrice Arthur
Thank you raja
Nice seeing this video, reminds me of the good times. Hilarious golden girls forever ❣❤🙏
I still haven't gotten over John Wayne showing up on an episode of Maude.
Miss the first season of Toot it or Boot it.
You know, they said Rock Hudson was a Friend of Dorothy. I guess it's really true! lol
Bea was so pretty.
Raja and Yvie really had a glow up
Got this recommended because of Raja!! and I love it!
this episode of All Stars 7 looks crazy
I love Raven and Raja
Maude and Madame RIP.
As RuPaul says "everyone loves puppets"
Legends only
" A Dress over a pantsuit"
🤣💀🤣💀😭💀🤣😝
Thank you, Raja
Raja has a new generations intrested in Madam. I love that so much!!
"Rock would never EVER take advantage of a woman" SHADE
Same 💖💖💖 Raja has brought me here as I didn't have any idea who the character was.
I love raja and Jackie beat!
So wierd after watching allstars,this pops in my feed...
They weren’t lying about Roc Hudson
Not gonna lie found this through recommendation and she my favorite character from golden girls she pretty funny there hasn't laughed in a while lol
I have very little to say about sex. Yes! When? And where? 🤣
that last exchange was coded about rock hudson's sexuality lol
No, I don’t believe Beatrice Arthur was that catty. It was just dialogue pointing up how much of a gentleman he was towards women.
Raja and Yive
this was from the The Bea Arthur Special 1980 NOT Solid Gold
This was on my recommendation probably because of Raja lmao
Everybody came here for Raja's Snatch Game but I came here for Yvie's Before and After
This is ageless.
The part where Madame says: "if he dies, he dies." Wouldn't that have been more appropriate coming from Rose Nylund? C'mon all you fellow Golden Girls fans know what I'm talking about
Can you imagine Madame on The Golden Girls?
It’s giving me Dorothy & Blanche
Roger looks good here
OMG It's Alexis Michelle and Raja
Maude/ Maime and Madame. ❤
omg hey raja 😍
Wow who came first? Raja or Madame? Well the truth is neither have been seen in the same room together….
Cute real cute Bea🤭🤣😅😂
Just enjoying them tearing each other apart, sneakily!! 💘 👩 😍 👗
LMFAO bea is so funny and so is madame
So this is the woman who invented the pause before ‘complimenting’ someone.
Rest in the good news ⚘ 🌚 👍 okay bye
I dont know why this was in my recommended but oh my god I'm glad it was 😅
Rock Hudson : ' isn't there an age problem with you two? ' ''What if he dies, he dies! '' ooh ee ah oh. yikes. Gurl.
but where is the song!
Y’all babies haven’t the faintest….
Two legends ❤❤❤
♡♡♡♡

Raja + yvie
I am not obsessed with sex my answers are always yes when and where
The comments about Rock not taking advantage of a woman gets funnier knowing he’s gay
That Rock Hudson joke did not age well 😬 (obvi they couldn't have known that; the whole skit is funny lol)
I'm here because of Raja. And I'm so pleased!
I’m so glad Raja’s excellent performance is introducing people to cool old camp!
Me too!
and Yvie did Bea Arthur in the ball challenge AS7
I barely even remember seeing Madam as a kid, I was born at the very end of her days… but I too am here from Drag Race to see that Raja did an exact impression of Madam. Nice!
Very much so
All the jokes about Rock Hudson in this sketch was so prophetic. Kind of like Hollywood's way of telling the world without telling the world. I do miss comedy like this.
Kinda like family guy when ya think of it
My thoughts exactly
My husband said Madame was not the wood Rock was interested in. I told him he was going to hell but laughed...
Bea and Madame are so timeless. Truly hidden gems.
"Isn't there an age problem with you and Rock?"
*Pointed Silence*
"If he dies, he dies!"
Literally made me cackle!
“He would never, ever, take advantage of a woman.” I guess Bea really WAS a “good” friend of Rock Hudson…
Too funny!
yup.. that joke was loaded... lol those who knew, knew...
And tragically, Waylon Flowers died of AIDS a few years after Rock Hudson
LOL
Loved Bea Arthur in Maude and then the Golden Girls.
All ways had a huge crush for Rock Hudson loved him in GIANT
I wonder if he made me gay…. I sure would let him take advantage of me….so political incorrect..lol
God Bless them both.
Cheers 🇨🇦
Rock was freaking gorgeous, the episode of I Love Lucy he was on 😍
This feels like an alternate universe version of Unhhhh
😆😂😂😂
Now, the main question is
Who's who
@@luanllluan I think Madame would be the Katya, but not 💯 on that 🧐
@@luanllluan who would play her 🤣💀
I think Madame is a split down the middle--Katya's glamour, and Trixie's humor/shade
Madame is the inspiration behind Bianca's persona.
Del Río? Elaborate
@@georgieorgy5589 no shit sherlock are you dumb?
@@georgieorgy5589 yes.
Oh, really?
Raja brought me here
Why is this recommended to me after watching drag race?? Goddamit fbi
I love the friendly shade between the two legendary fierce legends
I can watch every Madame video and they're never boring

Natasha Lyonne doesn't have a deep voice, it's just raspy.
Brenda Vaccarro
@Anonny Anonymous Suzanne Pleshette perhaps?
Lauren Bacall
hey look it’s raja and yvie oddly
Madam was the only reason I watched Solid Gold!! Gotta love Madam!!
Rare video of Raja and Yvie Oddly having a conversation
Raja and yvie(well half of yvie 😆) are looking good!😝
Oh my goodness! I so remember watching Madame when I was a kid in the 70s. Lol... Nostalgia.🥰
