Absolutely... I laughed at all the innuendo.. sarcasm, and social scorn brought here by Bazza.. But it also really shows how the US audience , or hosts , AT THE TIME just didnt get it... Hopefully, after the US version of the Office, those Yanks that misinterpreted it all, can actually get a handle on what Barry did , with all his characters..

Barry Humphries' real talent was making everyone around Dame Edna fall under her spell and completely forget they're speaking with a male comedian. Even with that iconic lavender hair and the harlequin-on-acid glasses she called her "face furniture," she had the instant respect usually reserved for elderly women. More importantly, you could really tell what celebrities were true gentlemen by how they treated and interacted with Dame Edna. She was an extraordinary creation.

For all his experience hosting this show, Jay Leno had absolutely no idea he was speaking with - or listening to, rather - one of the most seasoned and beloved talk show guests everywhere else in the world. If you think you're interviewing Edna, you quickly learn she's stolen the keys and taken over the drivers seat entirely.

@giggles7179 Жыл бұрын
@@Frankincensedjb123 Let me clarify as I think you might be under the misconception I said Leno wasn't aware of the fact that she was a man in sequins. If that's the case, it was definitely a misconception. What I was referring to was the influence Dame Edna has virtually everywhere else in the world. American pop culture has always lived in an entertainment bubble and The "old guard" that hosted these talk shows for years were often thrown a curveball when somebody so out-of-the-norm was booked on their show only to hand them their own asses if they dared underestimate them. Dame Edna was even more an anomaly than others like Divine or RuPaul that became icons - she was a heterosexual man. To have that distinction while portraying such a complex persona would throw anyone for a loop, making them unsure whether you can talk to them like any other guy or if it was more appropriate to treat the guest as the older woman who throws out double entendres like a bartender slings out coasters.
@slashdisco Жыл бұрын
@@giggles7179Dude, I worship Dame Edna, but you're wrong about Jay Leno. He knew exactly who she was, as did Ben Affleck and all of the US audience. To claim otherwise is to deny the fact that Dame Edna had been a huge star in America for at LEAST 10 years by this point - Dame Edna's Hollywood (1991) had attracted A-list stars and been a massive success on all sides of the pond. This is quite apart from her international stand-up, other chat show gigs, and even her recurrent dramatic appearances as "Claire Otoms" on the hit show Ally McBeal. Dame Edna was a household name in America by this point, so to claim Jay Leno had no idea who he was speaking to is naive at best.

Then you've got a treasure trove of watching to do! Off the stage he was a very witty sophisticated, conservative man. Edna was always referred to as a separate. real person. Such as "Edna wouldn't like that' or 'I'll have to ask Edna.' Happy watching and glad you get the jokes. Some people never quite did. He was way more than just a drag act - he was a brilliant, scathing satirist really. Watch the show with Lauren Bacall. Tom Jones and Tony Curtis. Or Judy Dench and Sharon Osbourne. Hilarious!
