Barry Humphries is a genius - his performance here as Dame Edna is sublime and the interaction with Parky, Judi and Sharon is perfect. He knows how to 'read' his co-entertainers 'in the moment'. And to think that this interview was only 18 years ago - it would be banned today (as BH is today banned by certain institutions in Australia that bestowed him artistic awards, because he holds 'certain' views). That's how sad cancel culture has become. Comedy is the victim.

Parky and Edna/Les/Barry were friends for decades and they knew how to have fun. Their interactions were legendary.

This is pure magic from a comedy genius.

I was living in London when Barry married his second wife and one of the papers reported that Dane Edna would not be attending the nuptials. Imagine my delight to be on a bus and overhear a conversation between two ladies speculating as to the reason the Dame was not attending, Barry would have loved it!

The delivery of the punch lines are absolutely amazing. The level of intelligence is out of this world..

Even after all these years, phenomenal, absolutely fantastic and entertaining! Can’t believe the almost 500 thumbs down, they have no sense of humor at all!

Do you know how good this is? I laughed from beginning to end. Parkinson as always a great host. They don't make like this anymore. More is the pity. We were so lucky.

Very few performers can come on and just hit the ground running like this, with a stream of brilliant dialogue. Robin Williams could do it. Billy Connolly could do it. As other people have said in the comments, Barry Humphries (her manager and mentor) is a genius who turned Dame Edna into what she became here. And let's pay tribute and give credit to Parky. Very few interviewers have the skill to feed the few minimal and essential questions to the guest, then stand back to let them do what they do so well. (And I've just realised that Barry Humphries was 70 at the time of this appearance.)

@Lorraine Miner. I had to look up homeopath on Google. It means a believer that the body can heal itself.

@@libbyworkman1666 Yes, but of course that's not exactly what our beloved Dame Edna was talking about, lol...

RIP Sir Michael Parkinson and Dame Edna...the best combo ever!

I watch this so often. It’s a masterpiece of performance by Dame Edna, and ably facilitated by all three others there 🌟

I love how Dame Judy and Sharon, take off their shoes halfway through, and get so relaxed

The whole gynochologist line was an absolute classic. The way he made the audience wait for the punch line was pure genius..

A Master, the likes we’ll never see again

I’ve watched this possibly fifty times already.

I watch this several times a week, and I laugh more and more each time. What a genius Barry Humphries is.

I've never seen anyone kill an interview like that!! Inspirational!! Wish Michael Parkinson was still doing his shows and Dame Edna Everage was on it everyweek

Jonathon Adlingon here in Oz they’re replaying the Parkinson show on Sunday nights. It’s such a treat.

Michael Parkinson has passed away thankyou for your style and AUSTRALIA SOLUTES YOU.

This is a combination of the greatest chat show host ever and the greatest chat show guest ever. Parky always did his homework meticulously but never had a script. He has interviewed all the greats of cinema, sport and entertainment for all his adult life and his technique is always 'the life and times of' his guests not the promotion of the latest film/book/tour etc.. Something which Woody Allen didn't take too kindly to. His lawyers tried but failed to prevent the broadcast of their interview ("The public perception is that you married your own daughter"). As has been said, Barry Humphries as Dame Edna was a comic genius - always outrageous but in a believable way, incredibly quick-witted, with an absolutely huge backstory and with exceptional comic timing and pace. There are two moments in this masterclass where Dame Edna almost corpses and has to pause, and they are before delivering the "He toyed with the priesthood" line because the audience were already in hysterics before he got there and after her gynaecologist, "Looked up this morning and he said to me" for the same reason. She starts her appearance by kissing Laurie Holloway (who's band also played on Dame Edna's shows) and saying that this was 'her' studio (from the Dame Edna Show/Experience - where top guests lined up week after week to be insulted) and ends by thanking "My special guest - Michael Parkinson!" - a full comic circle. Dame Judy and Sharon Osbourne represent us, the viewers in this, in being in frequent fits of uncontrollable laughter. Sharon puts up a fight at times but is then put down each time even more. "Two dames and a commoner. And there is no one commoner than you Sharon". We have lost a genius. Thank heavens for KZread.

Dame Edna is timeless. Speaking as an American, we need someone so innocently hilarious and whose comedy is brilliant! Dame Edna simply takes the audience along on a story of her life and adventures. The best part of her routine is that all of us know someone like her, and we can all relate to her life's adventures. She truly was peerless in the world of comedy, and I am disappointed that I never had the pleasure of watching her live on stage. I am so thankful that there are several videos here online where I get to enjoy her brand of humor. Thank You from all of us for posting this! It makes my day each time that I watch it. And Parkinson's reaction, along with Sharon and Dame Judy's, makes it all the better. Well done!

I knew nothing about the Dame, when a friend and I saw her on Broadway in the late 90's. One of the great theatrical experiences I have ever had! The brilliance of Barry Humphries is equal to any of the great comedians of the past; W.C. Fields comes to mind particularly. They both take us into a unique comedy reality of their own making. And, in addition, Barry does it with 4 major characters; and is witty just as himself. That we can watch and laugh over and over at the greats is another marvel. That is what I call true genius...

I was fortunate enough to attend several of Dame Edna's shows. I recall one at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne, where she dressed up an elderly lady as a nun. The the end of the show. when the gladiolas were brought out, she handed several to the 'nun'. As she hurled them into the audience, Dame Edna remarked 'I think I'll call her The Flinging Nun'. Priceless!!!

What is the "innocent" part? Her entire comedy is about winking at filthy subjects without saying the actual words. Brilliant, but innocent?

Her comedic timing is superb. I can listen to her all day long!

Hello how're you doing?

What a journey and Ph.D on how to host television courtesy of Dame Edna. Pure class and pure comedy. Nobody had a chance.

Barry's character of Dame Edna is absolute genius. Only a few comics come along with this kind of talent and timing. Foster Brooks was another one. They are truly rare. Thanks so much for posting this video.😂

We will NEVER see the likes of this ever again! Dame Edna, was and is, the very pinnacle of improvisation and comedic timing. There is literally no-one else comparable. One of the greatest losses to showbiz and never to be replaced. Very sadly missed. RIP Barry and thank you for the wonderful entertainment, laughter and hilarity you brought to so many. We miss you. ❤

"Ditto" totally agree!!!

This is when it was just innuendo and unthreatening. One of the funniest characters EVER! R.I.P Mr. Humphries 🙏❤

Barry and Michael had such a long-term friendship that translated on air; you can see how Michael is so content to let Barry dominate his stage for the whole time cause he knows it's in safe hands. You can see Barry almost break once right before the "toy with the priesthood" comment; that lower lip almost breaks rank. I've watched this at least 50 times and can't stop! So damn good!!!

Dame Judy was living for it. She was genuinely enjoying herself and I think they all were. This is one of Dame Edna’s best.

RIP to both Dame Edna & Sir Michael Parkinson. This is one of his funniest interviews. Another classic was with the GOAT Muhammed Ali 😇

I watch this “interview”, in which Edna hosts her mate Parky’s show, every few weeks-it never fails to deliver smiles, laughs and being bowled over by the wit, timing & professionalism of adorable Dame Edna!
