      She's truly a gem. Campy, light, delightful. There is an aberration who calls herself
      Lady C.
      I thought it was a drag skit.
      Now I think the inspiration was from Dame Edna.
      Yet,
      C is very cunning cutting crass and cruel. Crudely carved out cash from targeting Royal targets, for decades.
      Somehow I feel the cloak was to use the Same Edna appeal.
      Resulting in a repellant creature.

    Jay Leno plays this exactly right, just like Michael Parkinson in the UK - let Dame Edna run with it. Meanwhile, Elton is a good foil for Edna and Billie Jean has the best seat in the house. What a great lineup and well done Jay.

      Do some research - "Dame Edna" is played by a man who was married. The persona is made up to entertain and he also does another who is male like a stereotype of a leering and lecherous drunk, nothing like Edna, the lady. Likewise Robin Williams inThe Birdcage - not gay but plays it very well. Several hundred yrs ago women were always played by men in the theater. The others are homosexual in real life but the comedian playing "Edna" is not. But he is knee-slapping funny!

Leno deserved it not playing along, everyone, including the audience was eating up the whole crazy Edna Routine, it was hysterical. Jay you made a fool out of yourself, lol! But he did invite her back and it was a blast...

She's so overwhelming that nobody can resist her. Whenever she appears in Great Britain all her shows are sold out weeks before her arrival. She 's probably the only comedian who's allowed to gossip about the Royals, international movie stars, politicians and other high-standing people, and she plays her role very well!

    Hello most sire dame Edna Everage:I certainly must say that watching you with the most sir Elton john at the sir Jay Lennon's late show, was a real treat, and I would like, to take advantage from this occasion, to imply that you "never aged", and that although I can watch you via Internet, I miss your Show because you are not only a classy celebrity, you are also one of the best comedians that Australia saw succeeding with giant steps, and that the world will always have an empty space in it's heart that nobody will fulfill; I wish you well, and God bless you; nothing else, to adhere.SincerelyPedro Gómez-Carranza (Mr. Pedro Gómez the 1st.)

    The amount of comments that naturally use the pronoun 'she' or 'her' to describe Dame Edna Everage is testament to the brilliance of the late Barry Humphries. To have have successfully created such a convincing character that is in contradiction, so outlandish, so exaggerated that it should be obvious that this is nothing but someone in costume. Yet, that is the genius of Barry Humphries that he was able to find the fine line between just outlandish and exaggerated enough that Dame Edna was conversely, very, very convincing. A brilliant man that I think most of us wanted to be around forever.

    You're absolutely right! Jay Leno's like most other US chat show hosts (those I've seen anyway). He's vain, self-absorbed and HAS to be the centre of attention at all times, which is why he can't cope with Dame Edna taking over the show - as she always does. Other hosts (like Michael Parkinson, Graham Norton in the UK) allow DE the space, sit back and ENJOY! Hell, they even join in when they get a chance! They don't hang back and sulk. DE, Elton & Billie are definitely the stars here!!
