Gunston at his best, and a guest who was all-in for it - and even upped the game to match him, using her incredible allure. Gunston still managing his part perfectly, but how could you not be affected by such a great, and intelligent, funny beautiful woman using all her guile and charm ! Garry McDonald, comic genius, thanks for the memories!
I too would be tongue tied and bewildered in her presence. I would melt if I was sitting that close to her as well. You could tell that she enjoyed the effect she had on men. She was incredible!
Aside from being a great actress (with an amazing range, she could do any genre you threw at her) and a very unique beauty, Karen Black is hilarious! I can't even put my finger on whatever it is that she does, but man that ole black magic's got me under her spell!!! She can do nothing but sip tea and ask seemingly innocuous questions "How old are you?" and make me laugh and give me the shivers at the same time. I will always love Karen Black!
Ah yes, The Little Aussie Bleeder...who could forget the brilliance of Gary Mc Donald. If you want to piss your pants laughing, go from here to his interview with Sally Struthers. It's got to be the greatest interview ever conducted anywhere in the world!
She’s beautiful. I saw Easy Rider about 25 years ago and thought back them she was stunning. Hilarious from Norman when she flirts with him, he really is great at portraying himself lacking confidence.
Fair go ha ha, I don't know how Norman manages to stay one step ahead of the star he interviews. Even when they become a little outrages he manages to get them acting outside their comfort zone, and controls it. Master at his craft.
Everything stopped on Tuesday nights in NZ, and every surfer in the country located a box to watch the Norman Gunston Show. The Yanks had that satirical magazine, Australia gave us the little audience bleeder. Genius.
I love how his 'simple' humour is so far above their heads they have no idea what's going on. He actually was a brilliant and gifted harmonica player and more musically literate than most people he ever interviewed.
Great Aussie humour from Garry/Norman plus others like Barry Humphries that excel with off the cuff comedy without any stupid script! Still hilarious years later!
So many people throughout my life say I look alot like Karen.. the eyes especially. Big compliment! The movie from 1993 called DARK BLOOD will finally be released the end of the month, Karen has a small part.
Norman Gunston (Garry Macdonald) is genuinely shy with women (despite having a beautiful model wife). He said in an interview that when Black asked him to kiss her, he genuinely went to pieces and got really nervous, so that's not him acting!
Eskay1206 Smokin'!!! Love the way she looks at Norman with those crazy beautiful eyes of hers like she's in love with him. Great interview as always Mr Gunston.
Absolute solid gold. Where have all the lovely leading ladies gone that oozed sex appeal with _everything_ on? (Well, except the jacket, maybe). And if even that bloody dag Gunston can nearly get The One & Only Karen Black all over him, there's hope for me yet! ;^)
Wow, always appreciated her beauty and talent as an actress, but, damn, Karen is smart and sassy and I very much like. She wasn't fazed and went with the flow and even pushed forward on her own. Impressed, Because Norman's shtick was making folks, fish out of water, uncomfortable.
boiks....lol...boiks....gaaahah....im preety sure she was thinking onamatopic boink , she devoures him utterly....poor norman.....he knew auntie was watching.
I think we only got one series of Mother & Son shown here Daniel and I only caught a few eps, so not really enough to get into it before it ended. Might get the dvds one day.
She knew exactly what was going on and played her part wonderfully, what a pro.

She was always a class act. RIP lovely Karen Black.
The guys a complete master at his craft
Brilliant on both parts. Back when we were allowed to laugh.
legendary~!
Speak for yourself. I laugh all the time. LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!!
Ain't nothing like a beautiful woman who doesn't take herself too seriously. One fine bucchanal lady.
Lol , she's crazy and pissed off , faking friendliness
@@duketomlinson3270 Amateur psychologist?
Ali G had nothing on Gunston, pure gold
brilliant every interview he has done, he is the magician in comedy !
I think Karen's the magician here. Norman finally met his match. ;^)
I too would be tongue tied and bewildered in her presence. I would melt if I was sitting that close to her as well. You could tell that she enjoyed the effect she had on men. She was incredible!
Mmm, she’s an actress, ‘playing a role’,
I knew her stepdaughter, Lisa. You would be shocked at how much the whole family doesn't belong on the pedestal you've built.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie Jealousy
Brilliant, both of them. Karen great humour too.

1:32 Her eyes when he mentioned "the hair down there". lol

i just saw it last night, and got a volume warning because I was laughing too loud in the apartment ~!
The fact she could hardly contain herself was just beautiful. She made me laugh more than him in that interview.
The "Blown kiss" at the end is brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant. Surely Garry McDonald must know how brilliant he is!!!
She’s beautiful. I saw Easy Rider about 25 years ago and thought back them she was stunning. Hilarious from Norman when she flirts with him, he really is great at portraying himself lacking confidence.
Norman is brilliant.
Norman rules! Karen's queen and a good sport. I remember Norman Gunston from ch4's early days but haven't seen this before, thanks for the upload.
Karen Black was just so giving in this interview (and ssssssmokin!!!)
Fair go ha ha, I don't know how Norman manages to stay one step ahead of the star he interviews. Even when they become a little outrages he manages to get them acting outside their comfort zone, and controls it. Master at his craft.
Damn, her eyes are beautiful.
She had amazing eyes so sexy
Karen Black , in a world of fakes, she was a Genuine Original ! A Great Actor and a Great Singer ! (and Norman Gunston is a hoot, as always !)
Man she is something!
Everything stopped on Tuesday nights in NZ, and every surfer in the country located a box to watch the Norman Gunston Show. The Yanks had that satirical magazine, Australia gave us the little audience bleeder. Genius.
She's gorgeous and a good sport
He’s so funny, so original, a real gem,really lovable
Thank you so much for uploading these!!
She was brilliant.
I love the way women ‘get’ Norman… & appreciate (& encourage) his priceless humor - Legendary stuff 👍🥳
Women just love this guy.. l'm sure they would slep with him just on pure personality.
'"Kiss me" and he blows the most awkward air kiss in history.
LOVE IT>
This is pure gold! :)
Absolutely. I shall always remember her in "The Great Gatsby". She was extraordinary.
Loved it. Wiping eyes loved it.
She knows her powers
LMAO I didn't think anyone made Gunston uneasy give her a prize
I love how his 'simple' humour is so far above their heads they have no idea what's going on. He actually was a brilliant and gifted harmonica player and more musically literate than most people he ever interviewed.
She played along quite well tho
It's the really good ones that get what's going on but always after they've asked themselves "is this guy for real?"
Trilogy of Terror, Airport 75, Burnt Offerings: I could never see her as beautiful…only terrifying.
Great Aussie humour from Garry/Norman plus others like Barry Humphries that excel with off the cuff comedy without any stupid script! Still hilarious years later!
Killer eyes and cool personality funny charming.
she was so fine
So many people throughout my life say I look alot like Karen.. the eyes especially. Big compliment! The movie from 1993 called DARK BLOOD will finally be released the end of the month, Karen has a small part.
Wow the good old days...
Norman Gunston (Garry Macdonald) is genuinely shy with women (despite having a beautiful model wife). He said in an interview that when Black asked him to kiss her, he genuinely went to pieces and got really nervous, so that's not him acting!
@JubalCalif Happy you liked it :) It's one of my favourite Norman Gunston interviews.
I don't think Norman/Garry was flummoxed by Karen Black. It's just part of his act. He's a great comic.
Gary McDonald is a very good actor. Here he is ad libbing in between a "scripted" interview. He completely fooled Karen Black.
What a voice.
Thank you.
Stunning
I never new Norman Interviewed so many personalities ! Karen was great
Her darling friend Toni Basil... of "Mickey" cheerleading fame?! :^O
awesome //choice thanks for the clip
Now here's a woman who knows how to use her sexuality to make a man feel uncomfortable
Not necessarily uncomfortable... ;^)
Are you American?
She’s fugly.
Check out YT clip Norman and The Dismissal when Australian government changed in a coup. He was in middle of it with politicians. On live tv.
How and why would anyone knock back a kiss from this stunning woman is a unimaginable? talk about staying in character!!
she is smouldering
Eskay1206 Smokin'!!! Love the way she looks at Norman with those crazy beautiful eyes of hers like she's in love with him. Great interview as always Mr Gunston.
Yeah, she's eating him alive with those gawkers. :^D
Pure charisma.
genius character
She's a really good sport .. not like some of the people he's interviewed ..
A sad day when this gorgeous woman died 😢😭 gee I think Norman was in with a chance ?
Ha ha Karen Black took that to the next level, great sense of humour.
Stunner.
Trilogy of terror..great stuff
ahhh those were the days, hard to find comedy like this now days
He's actually sweating crazy.
Absolute solid gold. Where have all the lovely leading ladies gone that oozed sex appeal with _everything_ on? (Well, except the jacket, maybe). And if even that bloody dag Gunston can nearly get The One & Only Karen Black all over him, there's hope for me yet! ;^)

That was fckn hilarious.
You're welcome :) I love this one.
Full of fun.
Remember him getting his collarbone broken by a Sumo wrestler after the nappy comment?
Great, love Norman, yanks have no idea how to handle Aussie humour
Interesting eyes karen black.
It’s not easy to fake flop-sweat…
Sub titles are so wrong
Is it just the Australian accent
Classic
Or trying to play on the swings at Pine Gap?
he was good ... she was better !
Gary McDonald brilliant.
I would so have built a tent ⛺️ in my pants..
I dunno how he dose it
HaHaHaHa !!!!
He's really funny but missed a lot,ever since he was what?
Lol
