John Farnham is and always the best of the best. He's hysterical and a white light. How can you not be a fan?

That's so bloody awesome 👌 TV isn't the same anymore, to many goody two shoes these bloody days! Bring back the old Aussie way mate 👍

great interview. Political correctness has ruined Australia. John shares his life experiences which is an Anglo thing. Who will carry the mantle for John ??

John Farnham - What a genuine guy. Incredible talent. Aussie Legend!

The vasectomy bit was gold. If JF wasn't a singer, he could have made a healthy living as a standup comedian.

Everything is way too PC now. Can't say this, can't say that, we're not allowed to express ourselves anymore. I'm an Aussie that moved to the USA in 2013. It's madness over here. I want out of here asap.

Damn 30 years goes so fast.... how natural were they back in those days..... great memories.....😁

Two absolute professionals with the quickest whit and comic timing in the business. This is without a doubt one of the best interviews I have ever seen. This should be a must see for any aspiring interviewer or interviewee. This is pure entertainment.

Incredible vocalist

Can we please appreciate that the vasectomy story started out with a discussion of Burn For You

A real gentleman in Australian music

It's a shame that we didn't get to hear John sing the song.

I loved Steve Vizard yes like Dave but I prefer Steve way way more Great interview John is just magic on every level

Cant fathom the years that have gone by. Now he is in his 70s, where did the last 30 to 40 years go.

These two are great together ❤😂🎉

Highest selling album of 1990 in Australia

No 1 of many 😂🎉❤

Yea haha. Imagine if you swore on a talkshow nowadays, the PC community would be in an uproar, and you would get arrested for offending someone.

2024… Love you John!!

Wow, I remember watching this very episode on TV live 30 years ago. I had gone to a Tommy Emmanuel gig and he mentioned to me that he'd contributed to the album. I think he's actually listed on the chain-reaction credits as well. I love John's vasectomy story. Amazing to think that this interview is now part of an archive that represents the heart and soul of Australia's musical history. Thanks for uploading it.

Letterman hadn't aired on Aussie TV by this time, so nobody realised how completely Steve Vizard ripped Dave off in every way.

Ripped off? Nah just a tried and true formula, but heaps funnier than the scripted jokes of Letterman.

I love that John loves people and people love him, so much so that when they get out of line, (wink wink) he just tells them to shut up. LOL!

I know he was born in England but every bone in his body is Aussie.

Love you John🎹😍

I think who you still have it and always will say hi to Jolley

I just adore John Farnham's public persona, but what is with the captions on this video?

Huge props to the lads in LRB for taking John onboard. Without them John would've faded into obscurity. Let's be brutally honest Australian radio absolutely sucks.

My favourite period in history, 1986 through to 1991. Just fun no BS television. You couldn't do this interview today without a load of snowflakes getting triggered. What a sad existence we have now.

😍😍😍

Debut is a French word. I giggle every time I hear John pronounce it Daybood.

It's a real shame he never had a good writing team around him. Aside from that one song, he's churned out nothing that anyone has heard of outside of Australia. Wasted talent imo.

Wow "churning out" songs for global record companies to make money out of, that's the best way to exploit talent is it? Instead bringing joy to your own audience on your terms? Interesting.
