@@larsedik Yes. They have to realise that once they invite Dame Edna on as guest, they are relinquishing their entire show over to her. She does not need any help, she takes over completely. We've seen this on many occasions, The View, Parkinson, etc etc.

The audience are dying of laughter - love it!!

I'm crying from laughing so hard. Dame Edna is a comedic genius!

This is Down Under humor at it's finest -- Dame Edna , i salute you , and i was fortunate to see you live on stage, i will never forget , one of the best nights i have had going to the theatre . I always appreciate a good Wit , when i first saw Dame Edna in the late 80's i was hooked and became a loyal fan ..... One of her "Possums" !!!

Never interrupt Dame Edna! Rarely you have something to add.

I know! There's no competing with her, so just let her roll. No morning show host is going to come close as a sparring partner.

So awkward that the American hosts (like most over there, except in Northern California where techie Brits have introduced them to our crude but hilarious humor) do not realise they have been had. Sausage. Pineapple ring. Oil. Priceless! Love you Dame Edna! xx

These news casters don’t seem to understand that Dame Edna is not the guest of the show, when she shows up it’s now her show. Interrupting her with comments slows the pace of her delivery which throws off the performance.

"If it doesn't fit through the hole, you may need some more oil."

This was the funniest thing that I have seen in YEARS!!!

TV hosts need to be schooled on how to deal with the Dame. Basically they need to be told to KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and let Dame Edna do her thing. No one is interested in what the hosts have to say. They're only interested in Dame Edna.

Bloody hilarious. As an Aussie watching the Yanks' response to Barry is priceless.

Comedically this guy was up there with the best there's ever been. The younger generations are only just discovering Dame Edna and also realizing how funny he is.

Dame Edna at her finest, pulling the wool right over the eyes of the hosts.

dame edna is a world treasure.

Edna always said talk shows where a monologue interrupted by strangers. Wonderful.

There is no way I could have gotten through that! I would have been hysterically laughing so hard that I would've had to leave the stage. Thanks for posting this! By the way, I am from the States and I have the humor to love this!

still howling at this

A UK audience would have laughed so much more!! The Americans don't really get her humor like we do but I still think she's fabulous with a capital "F".

I love how Spencer got right into the spirit of it all. It was a laugh and was what it was meant to be.

We Yanks love Dame Edna- I think this show wasn't the right fit for her. Daytime shows aren't geared toward her special talents :)

That was Spencer Christian the old weatherman from Good Morning America from the 1990's.. Saw Dame Edna at the Post St Theater when I was living in San Francisco and she was hilarious

this audience is having the best time!!! LOL hahaha

Dame Edna, my hero.

Dame Edna is the best and the host should allow her free rein to carry the moment.

You're not wrong. This clown was a weatherman at GMA when they did a segment on the set of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" & Patrick Stewart stormed off when Spencer came out making lame Klingon jokes during the weather segment- WEARING HIS COSTUME/UNIFORM! Stewart & Paramount execs had a huge fight afterwards. I wonder if Barry Humphries or his reps had any words after this segment, because Edna was on a roll & Spencer wouldn't shut up & Lizzie was absolutely clueless about what this really was. Despite those f'idiots, Edna gave a masterclass comedy performance. At least the studio audience was on-board & having fits of laughter.

She is BRILLIANT.

To be fair, Dame Edna has a very flamboyant personality, it tends to dumb down the personalities of those around her.
