I was sad when Craig Ferguson left the Late,Late Show ... and being a Yank living in Sydney since 1979 as a teacher after 9 years US Army .... Dame Edna (Barry) was awesome in all Barry's roles, including the "Sandy Stone" show I watch in Sydney. An extremely talented actor.

Craig made Dame Edna laugh and he got kudos. Not a lot of hosts can keep up with that level of Dame Edna’s comedy.

Craig “They don’t like me in Scotland “ Edna “They do like you, you’re just thought to be a traitor that’s all” Lol Brilliant

RIP Barry Humphries. Thanks for all the laughter.

Craig was always at his best when interviewing other comedians, especially from the Commonwealth.

The first time I've ever heard Dame Edna give a sincere compliment that wasn't backhanded or sarcastic in some way. It sounds like she was quite impressed, and cracking up the whole time.

R I P "Dame Edna". In spite of the Hell his mother put him through, Barry Humphries became a legend of comedy and we are happier for it.

Dame Edna is pretty much a surreal character, so weird and awesome. Barry Humphries is a dadaist so it fits. The weird thing too is that you forget that it's Barry Humphries, Dame Edna is pretty much a real person. When she's on talk shows like this she's kinda viewed as Dame Edna and not Barry Humphries, it's amazing to own your own character like that.

Dame Edna is always called she or her, never anything male. And that's as it should be. When a comedy talent creates a character and remains in character then the person beneath temporarily doesn't exist. Same thing happened when Paul Reubens invented Pee-Wee Herman in the 1980s. It was like his persona changed altogether while he was in that outfit, hair style and makeup.

Oh man, I adore Dame Edna. Absolutely magnificent! Lol

I always thought Craig was a good host but here he really shines. I've yet to see a host make Dame Edna laugh so much. Btw she was very sharp on this show!

Dame Edna is probably the only person that has the same quick comedy reactions that Craig has. Two geniuses. Most host just have to shut up and let her go for it. She's a genius.

Craig Ferguson - the only person to equal Dame Edna with his wit & self possession.

If you skipped ahead just to watch the Dame Edna interview then you are doing yourself a disservice.

"The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" is on of very few shows, which make me laugh tremendously. This episode is so good, its pure joy. =)

Me too. Dame is so funny without being dirty or trashy, she's one of kind for sure.

RIP Barry Humphries aka Dame Edna. You surely will be missed.

The dress (or should I say frock) itself is a hoot, naturally, but I am also really digging the different hued stockings and shoes! So fun and zany. The exchange towards the end about the southern hemisphere is fantastic but I do wonder if Dame Edna would have made a similar remark if Craig had not chimed in. :) Oh, they really should have given this funny lady much more than ten minutes on this episode; Barry Humphries deserves the entire show.

Two genius wits at work/play.

This Biden joke has aged....pretty well tbh haha

37:31 He almost broke the 4th wall just to highlight the line Craig made. Legend acknowledging and saluting legend moment.

That was a good interview. Thanks for the laughs.

Dame Edna met her match!

Pure Genius from Dame Edna, as per usual! Happy Birthday, Vicki .. Oh.. and who was that stunner sitting beside you??

I remember this episode and so funny watching Edna/ Baz, almost cracking up at Craigs antics, just superb😅👌🇦🇺

@jimreily7538

Corden cannot be compared in say positive way with Craig Ferguson. The Southern Hemisphere crack - innuendo like that is so far beyond Corden, it'd take his writers a decade to write something like that, and twice as long for Corden to practise delivering it without any hint of him doing a recitation. It's remarkable. They went from the greatest talk show host interviewer, since, in my view, Jack Paar, to a star f***ing, cruel slug, to whom wit and repartee seem foreign concepts. A bestial man who blatantly sucks up to those more famous than himself, and degrades those he views as lower - including his audience, his wife, waiters, and an almost endless list of normal people - little people, as I imagine he refers to them. Only in the metaphor of course.
