"His hand shakes occasionally, and that's not necessarily a disadvantage". The Dame of single entendre.
His hand shakes a little bit. 😂
I think you omitted the most important word in the anecdote ‘and LADIES, that’s not necessarily a disadvantage’. But otherwise totally agreed.
Julio's father really was a gynecologist
🤣👍
“I was born with a priceless gift, the ability to laugh at the misfortunes of others.”

Schadenfreude in German
I come from a school that Barry Humphries (the man behind the drag of Dame Edna) went to and he sponsored a prize for Contribution to the Arts, which I won in 2001. I am so happy that I played some part in this history. Dame Edna is an icon and so is Barry. The fact that a straight man who created a drag character who went international is in the age that it happened is just staggering. RIP Barry.
Yes this is true. He was a straight man who played female ...Dame Edna. When you see the brilliant devastation he inflicted on "normality" you get an idea of how encompassing his intellect really was.
He’s straight?! That just makes his character that much funnier 😂 love it.
The struggle for control begins instantly! Edna dominates every interview she's in, totally hilariously and the wiser host just lets her do it.
exactly!
Not Conan! He doesn't even recognise the jokes.
@@ChrisChanningChannelyes, she always focuses on guests, soz him, when drag didn’t have the vitriol it has these days
The host is a selfcentered jerk.
I was going to say - I love Conan, but this was one where he really missed it. HE THINKS ... that this is a conversation.
Rest in peace Mr Barry Humpries! This will be our first Christmas without you here in Australia...❤❤❤
The world is a sadder place without him. He is loved and deeply missed.
Very sadly missed here in the UK too! RIP Barry/Edna/Sir Les.
Ultimate comedy genius. No one comes close. RIP
❤😂🎉 Rest in Paradise.
She is with Madge now
"He's delving into your gift basket." Brilliant.
He can swim my channel any time he likes.
Michael Parkinson is the best Dame interviewer he would just introduce her then sit back and laugh
You are so right.
Barely a second ago this psychic message appeared in the ether. Some light needs to be shed on this mysterious missive. Perhaps a viewer from the Commonwealth could Have a Riesling and play the Ump;
Why all this talk about Michael Parkinson, possums? Many of these people, these so called stars that Michael had on his show were non-entities. Some were real stars. They were friends of mine whom I had helped in the past and who needed an appearance on a show. So I mentioned them to Michael, working behind the scenes, putting shows together for him using my connections, taking time out of my busy schedule. I like to help people. It's just the kind of person I am. Every time I was on the show I got exciting reviews, being a megastar. The audience loved me and Michael did too. He was lucky enough to be my guest several times over the years. He told me I was his favourite, my female urges and juices coming out in great gusts. I shared my experiences, always in the strictest confidence. Sadly, all things must end. Thank you for having me in your homes viewers! Dame E. Everage (The Megastar that won't go away!)".
True. But Conan didn't do so badly
I always get a sense that when Dame does these shows, people are mortified about what she is going to do or say. A master comedian our Dame. I could tell that there was a time crunch, Dame gave Conan a short list of "casual topics", but ran out of time near the end seeming rushed and uncomfortable, yet Dame was just getting started.
Our Dame is now making everyone laugh their asses off in the next world. Thanking you for blessing us with your grace.
Rest in Peace Barry, you will never be replaced, I laugh and shriek when I listen to you.
I feel that Edna's humour wasn't allowed to fully land in this interview
Conan spoiling every other line by interrupting, repeating, and just spoiling the flow. Dame E is so much better than he lets her be.
Conan didn’t have the finesse to work with Dame Edna. He had one gear and one gear only.
@@highdownmartinHe’s acting like an attention seeking, spoilt brat. Any interviewer worth their salt knows that you sit there and let the Dame run with it. It’s easy money, plus the audience loves her.
exactly @@highdownmartin
He was jealous
"You preempted what I was about to say in such a lovely way."
Edna tried to give a hint early in the interview, but clueless Conan failed to get it.
"purple bikini line' -- priceless
The sharpest tool in the box!! We will never see the like again. He was a genius. 💕💕💕💕
“Looking as Elizabeth Taylor would wish to look” Love U Dame Edna🇺🇸
He doesn't quite get Edna. But he caught on quickly. Don't even think about trying to compete. He was hilarious. Brilliant man.
No he competes all the way through and is no way near as brilliant as Barry Humphries.
Shut up no one said he was
'shut up'? @@mickryles759
My thoughts exactly. Walking all over that host. Americans just can't cope 😂
He needs to shut up!
Barry Humphries was one of a kind!!! He is loved and missed.
Saw Dame Edna's show on Broadway. My face hurt afterward from laughing for two hours.
A constant struggle to put Conan back in his box.
What wonderfully funny man, Barry Humphries. The planet lost a lot when he passed.
"I think of a talk show as a monologue interrupted by total strangers."
There'll never be another Dame Edna! It was the right person at just the right time. Nobody was able to get one over on her! The whole mind worked in funny 🤣 🥰
Extremely talented and intelligent entertainer Conan was silly here not letting himself be quiet and letting edna transport the audience to a high Plateau of hilarity, barry Humphreys gave the politest hint to shut up ive ever heard, you preempted me😂
He just didn`t get her at all did he? Dame Edna is an act that needed to be set free and unleashed to get the best out of her . This guy didn`t want to hand over his show in case his ego was bruised and he missed a great opportunity .
Barry was a comedic genuis and is sorely missed
you're spot on - the host is so annoying and not a patch on her.
Michael Parkinson knew how to host Dame Edna, and at the end, SHE announced HIM as HER special guest. :)@@sibionic
Yes I saw that - she thanked him and the rest of his guests!
@@ScottKnitter
What is so totally priceless about Barry Humphries is that he created two totally opposite characters, Dame Edna and Sir less Pattison, neither of whom could stand the other or him, their supposed Manager. How he juggled all that and kept audiences in stiches for decades made him one of the great icons of comedy.
Had the joy of seeing Dame Edna twice on stage. Oh, what fun!
I saw the show once. Loved it!
I took my wife to see him in Auckland NZ best show I've ever been to so well read, so active, just bloody brilliant.
One of the funniest shows I ever saw!
RIP Dame Edna
So glad I got to see Dame Edna in person in NYC. The weird thing about seeing her the night I saw her was that she called out one of the actors of Kids in the Hall (Scott Foley) onto the stage with her. Great night of comedy.
Perfect interview. I am Aussie and Conan played the foil perfectly. I don’t quite understand the criticism of Conan in the comments. The whole point of Barry’s humour was that you could be anyone at all around him and he had an angle. You could try to shut Barry down, play along, try to keep up, it really didn’t matter at all; Barry had an agenda to launch from wherever you are into whatever he already found funny. You just had to be there, turn up, and he was “on”.
He kept cutting her off, butting in, total ego.
She had her show here in the UK the dame edna experience. She wouldn’t let Mel gibson in even though he begged, then went to the shops to buy oranges so he could juggle them and she still wouldn’t let him in. Charlton heston walking downstairs and she pulled a trapdoor on him.
those shows were also broadcast in Australia and NZ bloody fantastic.
To think, this wonderful entertainment would piss off some people. A giant character! Love Dame Edna
❤❤ I always adored the Dame. RIP Barry Humphries. You made this world a bit better because you were in it. Thank you. ❤❤
I miss her so much!
I miss her, and of course him 😢😢
Brilliant as always but I don’t think the interviewer understood all he had to do was sit back and let the Dame hold court and entertain us .He was too worried at what she might say .A shame because he didn’t let Dame Edna shine
Dame Edna had a knack of being able to talk about the most mundane things with great dignity and respect .......
... and in a very smutty way simultaneously.
To see have seen her live is an incredible experience one never forgets. She fed off the audience, and seem almost psychically able to play to the crowd at hand. I never laughed so much in my life. Anyone else sense Conan was uncomfortable???
When Edna comes on just let her go and listen. Watch Michael Parkinson and learn

Miss you Dame Edna, you are an Australian legend ❤
What's even funnier than Dame Edna's dialogue is the slightly awkward, panicky expression of the host.
The Americans never quite got Dame Edna. It amuses me how even Conan appears to be slightly apprehensive with Edna.
She's freaking hilarious!
It's a man
@@brittanycunningham787 The actor, yes, the character, no. So, honestly I wasn't sure which gender to use as reference, due to that complication. hmm, how about they're both hilarious, the man putting on the character, and the woman who is the character.
@@brittanycunningham787
We know that- he's just in character is all... Barry was brilliant as Dame Edna... Ironically Barry was not a fan of the current woke gender dismorphia...
@@C-Here at the end he was cancelled in Australia because of his views, very sad indeed.
@@konaguzzi1
Only cancelled by a very few, most still loved him, and paid to see him... 🤷
Great aussie humour 😂😂 miss barry
Dame Edna never looked better.
Not necessarily a compliment.
What a legend!
Conan was very good but seriously can no talk show host ever let the guest finish a few sentences without interrupting??
Best guest ever!
This is really good hi-def for 2005. The colors and clarity really pop.
The Dame outwits every talk show host, they need to just sit back listen and above all laugh without interrupting. RIP you irreplaceable and wonderful human being ❤
The billionairess, megastar and adviser to the British royalty keeps on impressing! A fountain of caring and sharing!
Stampede of wheelchairs
I love this character!😂
GOD - she was wasted on Americans … like why isn’t he roaring in laughter 😂😂
I remember his voice from the Olivia audiobooks!
Stampede of wheelchairs, hilarious.
RIP Dame Edna … very much missed ❤
I rather fear that the Americans do not have the same sense of humour as others, or is it just the highest post there are very few people as funny as Dame Edna. ❤
How to mess up an interview with Dame Edna. Jay Leno did the same.
Barry Humphries' high school principal said his job was like teaching Humphries and teaching all the other boys -- he was by far the brightest.
It is so funny to see that the American talk show hosts do not really understand how to deal with Dame Edna......:-))
Conan, bring back Triumph!!! I miss him.
He was fcking amassing
What a woman! Incomparable!
The reaction would be much with a British audience.
When I saw this was uploaded only 3 mos ago, I thought the great Lady had resurrected! Then I saw the original air date. RIP.
People rail at people in drag doing shows, but Dame Edna was a staple in Aussie houses for decades and even the most conservative ppl thought nothing of it
I loved her she always made me laugh I saw her in the Royal Albert Hall Uk the show was fantastic
She heard the Gyno shaking joke from Robin Williams and she adapted it very well. 😊
Shes been telling that joke since William's was a child, no adaption needed
She's amazing!!!!
Mr Humpries was.truly fabulous and soooo funny.You are truly missed from our screens.May you R I P.❤
It’s a really nice series 😂
Boy that was tense
Why does he bother having guests? Conan seems to be all about … Conan!🥱
I miss this lavender beauty of love so much. She always made me laugh.😊
He was always better with a British audience. Americans never quite got his dry sarcastic humor.
Good old Parky. He introduced her and let her run.
Dame was aussie...not british. Complete world opposite sides.
@@limabravo0001 What part of my comment says he was British?
@limabravo0001 yes but british/Irish humour and Australian humour is quite similar in many ways
The only reason that the Brit's 'got' Edna so quickly is simply that there are a huge number of Australians there. So they were used to the dry, edgy comic tone of funny Australians and the kind of character that was the target of the humor. They knew this character because at a stretch she could be English or Irish. It was scathing satire. American audiences took a while to get the joke late because they just hadn't seen a great deal of Edna, or Australians in general - but when it clicked, they totally got the jokes. Resist at your peril. He was so off the charts hilarious that he made some people nervous, and that included some Australian guests. Watch Edna with Germaine Greer. She had zero sense of humor, and Edna went in for the kill. I met him once and he was the most charming man. Edna was always referred to as a a real person not a character. He could never get away with it now sadly. He was quite brilliant.
The one and only, Dame Edna!
Norm Macdonald would have liked Dame Edna.
I think they had an affair.
"I was a lot happier before I knew Dame Edna was a man...a *LOT* happier!" - Moe Szyzlak
Conan doesn't know when to shut up an let the Dame shine.
He picked it up quickly though, to his credit.
Conan seems to think he's the star here.
He was in 2005. No one in America knew of Dame Edna then.
Yeah…he’s obviously uncomfortable… Dame Edna was ,magic.
@@3506Dodge Dame Edna was known in the US since the 80s
@@kevinwilson3609 No she wasn't. In the pre-internet world popular culture was controlled by broadcasters. I first hear of Edna in 2002.
@@3506Dodge Dame Edna had a show on American television in the late 80s.
How in the hell did this guy get his own show . You can feel the disconnect with him and Edna
He doesn't know how to deal with a megastar! He needs to shut up. Dame Edna needs no interruptions😊
Actually Conan is quite a good and naturally funny talk show host, but here he does seem disconnected, I think because he couldn't handle such an Australian superstar, he is pretty good with American celebrities.
Conan was not good with the Dame - he dismissed her . I wanted to hear more from her. Boo Conan.
@@levent.a.7280 nah he bores she life outa me .
He was just a bit nervous that's all. Edna made people nervous! He realized quickly that he would come of best if he let Edna go, and when he did it was a very funny chat.
Every show became Dame Edna's show...LOL.....
What is all this talk about Dame Edna being deceased. She won't hear of it! Being an experienced psychic she contacted me this evening to help set the record straight. She sends her love to all possums and points out that many of her longtime gynaecologists, among them Mr Iglesias Sr and Mr Markle, have looked her over closely, and concluded that she is at the height of her powers, and that, like so many women of to-day, she has strong female drives urges and juices.
Barry was a funny guy 😂. RIP
Barry what?
@@christopherwellman2364 Barry Humphries was an Australia comedian
@@maxpower6765 thx
He was brilliant.. we'll miss him forever.. 💔💔
IRONIC HUMOUR is what we have starved on need these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be fair to Conan, his skill was in interviewing celebrities who are usually quite boring and unfunny. He made those interviews compelling.
He just doesnt realise that with Dame Edna, a whole other approach is needed...ie ask the pre ordained questions and otherwise shutup!
Dame E leaves em speechless.
That retired gynekolog,... it´s actually a very old joke heard it already when was unborned.
American hosts have to be the star and interrupt, UK hosts wind the guest up, bring them out and let them run. Watch Parkinson or Graham Norton and you'll see what I mean. If a guest is flagging they prompt them and interfere, if they are in full flow they just let them go and enjoy the show. Sometimes the guest will banter with the host, but the greatest interviews are from the people who just start and keep going. It often confuses international artists when they come to the UK as they aren't used to the free flow of the process, or the fact they aren't limited to what they can say, but a lot of them keep coming back because it's so much fun. Bea Arthur for instance was notorious for hating chat shows and interviews, but she loved Graham Norton because it was so silly and fun. Edna was a chat show hosts dream guest because she was always "on". From the first "Hello Possums" to the final moment she held an audience in the palm of her hand.
❤
What a shame that Conan man doesn't have the good taste to shut up. Dame Edna steals the show no matter how much you try to appear in control.
Lol
I agree with an earlier comment about Michael Parkinson just sitting back and laughing.
Americans just do not get the character as you can hear from the audience's feeble laughs. And American hosts feel obliged to compete.
I didn't know the Dame was with Conan.
Barry was very funny. I don't think Conan got it and gave him the space.
You spelled proctologist wrong😂😂‼️
I’m from London, UK and didn’t think Dame Edna (Barry Humphries) was known to US audiences.
Dame Edna was very much known here in the US for many years.
She had tv specials throughout the 80s

I've never laughed so much as this 30 second clip with Dame Edna and Piers Morgan: czcams.com/video/vZOTG8mFqIk/video.html
😍😍😍😍
Conan is still on TV?
That's my line!
Conan might be an ok writer...but he is in the all time TRIUMVIRATE OF UNFUNNY wtih Bob Hope and Jay Leno.
Huh?
Right you are!!!
No. you and he are not. But to each his or her own...@@johnscanlan9335
