    I just can't get enough of Dame Edna. I particularly love the way Joan cracks up. Let's face it, if you don't laugh at his incredible wit you have no funny bone. Thank you Barry Humphries for your generous gift of making us laugh. R.I.P.

    This needs a warning that the final joke may cause you to die from laughing. Dame Edna always was, and still is an extraordinary talent. As she does here, she can sit down with 3 great talents and within seconds she fills them with a mixture of laughter and bewilderment. In any group of stars, it is Dame Edna who is the superstar.

      Do seek out Lily Savage, Dr Evadne Hinge and another great Dame, the late Hilda Bracket, and Cissie and Ada, two working class northern English housewives. The British comics known as The Two Ronnies, and even Danny la Rue, and way back in the 30s and 40s there's always been acts in the mould of Edna, who whilst known in Oz truly became a star in Britain as her act too is inspired by the great British tradition of panto (where best boys are women and the women called "pantomime dames") is so much a part of our culture however I feel it won't be long before the UK provides the world with another great act. It's not drag, it's wholly unique. It's talented comedians, actors, musicians and singers in frocks. O - you must see the late great Kenny Everett's Cunning Stunt from the 70s and early 80s (that is her name !)
      Sadly, it's only tranny shite now like the awful Ru Paul and female impersonation has been overtaken by the transgender agenda.

    I remember seeing this interview and laughing at Joan squirming in sheer fright that this was one encounter her sexuality was not going to get her out of.......the Dame was going to trump her for sheer wit.....and she did! George had more appreciation of it and was able to laugh at himself.....the Dynasty dame, not so much. Onya Edna!!

    The reason Dame Edna's humor is mega-star status is that it's not only fast, it's subtle while being obvious. If you watch her performances, it's not unusual for to audience (or co-stars) miss a one-liner. You'll see a pause, and then she'll make a twisty smile with her mouth it's only after they rethink what just happened they laugh. Only those with an equally twisted sense of humor catch her right off :) Anyone have any idea when the actual episode aired? Dame E was awfully young (well, so were the other three) - I'm thinking late 80's early 90's?

      Great observation, Harry Christie - the Dame Edna twist of the mouth (often with a look directly to camera) was one of her trademarks. RIP Barry Humphries.
