    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.

      I agree, the hosts should let Dame Edna run, Conan O'Brien did not get that memo. He is not the best, he interrupts too much. One has to listen, laugh & add only if there is a lull.

      I agree completely . This was a lesson in hosting a show .
      And who could contain Barry's energy anyway . He was so sharp , and funny . He had the perfect guest companions , who were more than happy to join in as well as laugh at the subject matter .
      Billie looked like she was having such a lot of fun. Almost reminds me of the time Edna interviewed KD Lang, And posed the question about being a Canadian.
      Elton got a chance to ,mention Kenny . And Edna even managed to ,mention Chevy in a manner that suggests he was not a nice man to work with .
      Of course , I don't know the whole story, but it was a beautiful little dig , about his not attending her classes . Meaning he needed to brush up on his people skills .
      All in all, it added up to a memorable show for people to watch , when they need a laugh.

      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!

      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.

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!

    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.

    Dame Edna is in a class of her own. Not only did she commandeer the show from the moment she appeared, at 6:07 she got a good jab at Chevy Chase, who acted like a real asshole when he appeared on her show. The elegance of the insult is elegant, charming and full of venom. "Of course, little Chevy cut quite a few classes...." BRAVA!

    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!!
