1988 Wogan - Dame Edna Everage and Whoopi Goldberg having lots of laughs with Sue Lawley

[@knockshinnoch1950]

I saw Barry do Edna and Les live- it was magnificent!

[@MrQuebec11]

He was so great! Timeless.

[@MrQuebec11]

Dame Edna just as relevant now as when it was taped. 🙏🏻💛

[@Ozgipsy]

The marvel of Edna was that everyone was in on the act. An absolute masterpiece.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Same Edna, The Greatest Chat Show Guest, and the Greatest Chat Show Host

[@rscotthartsfield6217]

I had not seen this one. Gosh I just love Dame Edna. One of a kind - total natural entertainer

[@wassum100]

One of a kind! What a unique individual was Dame Edna, so sharp and erudite

[@csw2342]

When Dame Edna comes to your show, it is now her show. You don’t need to say anything or interrupt her - just laugh. Let her work!!! Whoopi got the memo at least 🙌 Dame Edna, we miss you.

[@22221mm]

Dame Edna never aged in 20 years!

[@markclement1942]

Whoopie has always loved Dame Edna. Dame Edna makes everybody laugh. ❤️ We miss her so. 🙏🏻

[@douginprague]

Two legends... and squeaky uptight Sue Lawley. I don't know how Sue Lawley managed to have a career as a TV presenter

[@Pisti846]

Dame Edna just exudes eloquence!

[@graysonscott5225]

Whoopis smile lights up her face. She has a lovely smile

[@ownyourcrazy8734]

Where is Valmay now?

[@GeroldKohnke]

this can´t be 1988 because Edna talks about the movie Ghost, and this movie came out 1990

[@jasonday9286]

"Obviously there's a power strike in your hotel...because you got dressed in the dark, Whoopi..." - FPMSL!

[@johnhaines3279]

Barry Humphries was unbelievably good. What a sad loss.

[@allioop5-m3r]

Whoopi is so pretty and sweet.

[@bristolgareth1]

Sue lawley to prim and proper for Dame Edna wit

[@Fatima502]

Whoopi played along magnificently

[@lucylu4102]

Always a good laugh, even if the interviewer is useless. Loved it!! Thank you for posting.

[@junemorkin6336]

So funny

[@ladonte1980]

Whoopie is so pretty!!!

[@mythgreatbritain5634]

Wonder how outraged goldberg would be today.

[@martinolesen9930]

Whoopie is så nice and polite there 😀

[@BlytheWorld1972]

even edna knew sue was hopeless

[@andrewgraham9006]

Ah now - not true... Sue was feeding the lines and playing along - Sue knew she was to be the stooge to Ednas comedy. Actually a good well put together and funny interview.

[@smokingcon643]

When "interviewing" a Comedic genius, shut up and let them do their bit, don't talk all over their gags!

[@Chillmax]

Sue Lawley was from the news department, not light entertainment, so although highly competent, she just didn't have that knack. They must've been trying trying to broaden her scope, I don't think it went very far!

[@nicholashall4625]

Even Whoopi Goldberg was lost for words!

[@kevint2878]

Whoopie is so young there. Absolutely lovely.

[@JamesSheenOnline]

She had to be sometime :)

[@stellen11]

Valmay - bi and large. LOL i fucking love it!!

[@Helen-zl7sr]

Bloody hilarious and brilliant! Miss you Mr Humphries!R.I.P!❤❤❤❤

[@JamesSheenOnline]

we are so lucky that there is so much legacy on archives, some still to be released..

[@darraghgregory5184]

Where's Terry in this episode

[@wookinooki9023]

Gladiola bulbs are poison.

[@ERstat77]

This has to be bout 1990 if Dame Edna is mentioning Ghost!

[@rockie0708]

Exactly

[@justforyouenjoy]

Whoopie looks great

[@GRACEGRANT-ni8kq]

'Pawperback' if this was BBC2 I wouldn't have to say that!! Classic Dame Edna😂🤣

[@jamesl9371]

Pauper back!

[@stevehughes1510]

Whoopie or Whoopsie is three times the size these days, her head led the way, Edna had to carry this and it speaks volumes, she developed such a bad back from the encounter that it did her in in the end.

[@ElectrologyNow]

So nice to see Whoopi being QUIET!

[@JamesSheenOnline]

haha... she couldnt get a word in!

[@grahamnancledra7036]

It's not a Drag act, noting like the awful rubbish we now have thrust in our faces supposedly called drag. Dame Edna was pure and simple, Female impersonation at it's very best.

[@kisbie]

Only Dame Edna could get away with broadcasting some of those jokes at 7pm.

[@TheAustralianHealthShow]

loved it :)

[@jamesohara4295]

Wogan has let himself go.

[@davidparris7167]

Whoopie before she gave her audience too much information....I miss the bliss of ignorance.

[@JamesSheenOnline]

Whoopi would... she was well in on the joke ,)

[@jessiejames7492]

yeah . not many americans on british chat shows get the jokes. its hilarious.

[@Bleepurchin]

Sue Lawley is of her time. She wouldn’t last 5 minutes with today’s audience…literally zero charisma…

[@RussTube59]

Sue Lawley too often breaking the spell here by not allowing Edna Everage to get into her rhythm.

[@JamesSheenOnline]

it was 21st November 1988

[@XPRT10R]

Sue Lawless? More like CLUELESS

[@SwingBandHeaven]

Sue lawley was a terrible interviewer. She is very poor here but the interview she did with the carpenter's on the bbc program Nationwide was really bad. The version with out takes included shows just how poor and generally insensitive she was when pursuing a line of questions about an eating disorder with Karen despite her brother directly telling Lawley to drop it. Bad particularly as it was by them very obvious she had a problem and justifiably didn't want to talk about it

[@brianeduardo1234]

I like Sue Lawley but had forgotten how clipped she is.

[@AmericasChoice]

A bit tense.

[@Chillmax]

It's hard coming from the news to relax fully and do light ent, but she gave it a go. Being 'clipped' can be a bit of a defence mechanism, I get a bit like that in certain circumstances ;-).

[@vova47]

Whoopi, before Trump Derangement Syndrome destroyed her sense of humour was quite nice. Dame Edna is great as ever.

[@Chillmax]

She still got a couple of lefty jabs in here though.

[@hisheroship]

It’s interesting seeing her in a nice light. She has changed sadly.

[@BlytheWorld1972]

woopi is a lovely woman here where did it all go wrong with farting on tv ....

[@cardiffbear]

By and large - well she is bi and large classic

[@clarkeyb89]

U couldn't add whoopi interview too could you ? X

[@escSocial]

I'm pretty sure I only recorded the dame Edna interview

[@HeavySmoker22]

Whoopi learned nothing from this exposure to brilliance.

[@ezravonhindenburg1240]

What an arrogant thing to say. She doesn't need to learn a thing. Whoopi is an icon in her own right.

[@lindamcdonnell2319]

What a clueless interviewer

[@glenysbuselli8274]

Another euphemism and I'm gone.

[@bellaboop1]

"Whoopsi is something you tread in" especially today, an absolute stinking pile. Back then, she knew how to get along with others.
