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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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! ;^)
boiks....lol...boiks....gaaahah....im preety sure she was thinking onamatopic boink , she devoures him utterly....poor norman.....he knew auntie was watching.
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.

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.
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?
The guys a complete master at his craft
😂😂😂😂This is comedy gold.
Norman Gunston if you are reading this, you are a genius.
brilliant every interview he has done, he is the magician in comedy !
I think Karen's the magician here. Norman finally met his match. ;^)
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.

Brilliant, both of them. Karen great humour too.
Takes me back to a time and era when it was worth owning a TV.
Ali G had nothing on Gunston, pure gold
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
@@TheKitchenerLeslieShe's a Legend and WHO are you ?!?
@@victoriavancartier7379 Someone who banged her stepdaughter. Who are you?
Thank you so much for uploading these!!
She was brilliant.
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.
Karen Black was just so giving in this interview (and ssssssmokin!!!)
The "Blown kiss" at the end is brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant. Surely Garry McDonald must know how brilliant he is!!!
Norman is brilliant.
This is pure gold! :)
I love the way women ‘get’ Norman… & appreciate (& encourage) his priceless humor - Legendary stuff 👍🥳
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.
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 !)
'"Kiss me" and he blows the most awkward air kiss in history.
LOVE IT>
Damn, her eyes are beautiful.
She had amazing eyes so sexy
Man she is something!
He’s so funny, so original, a real gem,really lovable
How and why would anyone knock back a kiss from this stunning woman is a unimaginable? talk about staying in character!!
Loved it. Wiping eyes loved it.
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!
Absolutely. I shall always remember her in "The Great Gatsby". She was extraordinary.
She's gorgeous and a good sport
awesome //choice thanks for the clip
Women just love this guy.. l'm sure they would slep with him just on pure personality.
Thank you.
Killer eyes and cool personality funny charming.
Stunning
@JubalCalif Happy you liked it :) It's one of my favourite Norman Gunston interviews.
LMAO I didn't think anyone made Gunston uneasy give her a prize
Trilogy of Terror, Airport 75, Burnt Offerings: I could never see her as beautiful…only terrifying.
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
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!
Wow the good old days...
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.
She knows her powers
It's the really good ones that get what's going on but always after they've asked themselves "is this guy for real?"
Ha ha Karen Black took that to the next level, great sense of humour.
I never new Norman Interviewed so many personalities ! Karen was great
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.
she was so fine
What a voice.
He was one very beautiful lady in this time!!!
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.
Her darling friend Toni Basil... of "Mickey" cheerleading fame?! :^O
Classic Gunston and a beautiful woman with a sense of humour.
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.
Stunner.
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.
genius character
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.
@@blueycarltonShe knew exactly what he was doing and she played along with it.
Still as hilarious in 2024 as it was back then. 🇦🇺
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! ;^)
Full of fun.
Or trying to play on the swings at Pine Gap?
ahhh those were the days, hard to find comedy like this now days
Trilogy of terror..great stuff
Classic
You're welcome :) I love this one.
That was fckn hilarious.
Wow! Her body language was brilliant and she certainly commanded that interview. Good ol' Norman played his part so well and was always entertaining.
Gold
A sad day when this gorgeous woman died 😢😭 gee I think Norman was in with a chance ?
She's a really good sport .. not like some of the people he's interviewed ..
He's actually sweating crazy.
boiks....lol...boiks....gaaahah....im preety sure she was thinking onamatopic boink ,
she devoures him utterly....poor norman.....he knew auntie was watching.
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.
Gary McDonald brilliant.
Sub titles are so wrong
Is it just the Australian accent
Interesting eyes karen black.
It’s not easy to fake flop-sweat…
I would so have built a tent ⛺️ in my pants..
I dunno how he dose it
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
he was good ... she was better !
HaHaHaHa !!!!
She looks a little like Kylie Minogue .. the eyes and lips
Lol
He's really funny but missed a lot,ever since he was what?
She was one very beautiful lady in this time!!!
