Les Patterson & Dame Edna Everage interviews (Clive Anderson, 1995)

[@Twmpa]

A comedy legend and one of the funniest people that ever lived. Like Eric Morecambe, he could have the audience rolling in the aisles with a mere facial expression. RIP Barry Hunphries.

[@Therap1ssed]

I didn't realize I needed more Les Patterson in my life.

[@return2earthvideochannel]

What an incredible comedy actor. It's all about timing and facial expressions.... no one in the history of show-biz has come close. Unique talent!

Barry Humphries is so very very talented. Love Les and of course Dame Edna. Just brilliant!!!!

This is the best Les Patterson clip I've seen since Barry's passing. Had me rolling on the floor!

[@davidbrowne8024]

Seen him twice Live, London & Norwich, so Incredible, he had the whole Place falling about Sensational!

[@andyhigs6150]

Edna doesn’t need a host. She’s the life and soul.

[@hicm1of124]

These were not only 2 of the greatest comedy characters of our era, but in the case of Dame Edna: Barry had great legs back in those days! 👌👌

[@chriscunningham4196]

Yet another clip showing Clive Anderson out of his depth and sinking beautifully. 😎

[@amandajstar]

I wonder, did Clive ever do anything else?

[@donaldewert2402]

Barry Humphrey is just about the most talented man in the world!!

Has to be. His timing is unbelievable

Dame Edna always steals the limelight.

[@stephenmaskrey6527]

Best entertainer ever, and any host of any show that tries to get laughs while she's on are wasting their time Barry Humphrey is way to quick for most people and gets away with anything, he doesn't have to use bad language either

[@JackRascal]

Generally agree, though he definitely uses bad language in this one. :)

[@moaningpheromones]

Humphries who are these people? thanks steven you genius

[@kaizenweisz2120]

That look he holds after saying "...and about fucken time!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@waynedoyle5584]

[@baldrick6071]

Comedic genius! Back when political incorrectness was accepted and embraced. Funny bastard!

[@laytonjones2093]

Barry the greatest satirist of the 20th and 21st century

[@loredelore7286]

Absolute genius. RIP

[@davidlondon2810]

Oh dear. One-speed Clive Anderson never learned how to interview Dame Edna properly which is to light the fuse and stand back...

[@dieselfan7406]

Almost as if he was afraid at times. He got Barry back though with the reference of men dressing up as women!

[@BlytheWorld1972]

Dame Edna a living legend so funny so warm so sweet and just the best laugh

[@maryannsaia9094]

I have always enjoyed Dame Edna. She makes me laugh.

[@geraldinebyrne8872]

She slayed Clive

[@kernow9324]

That's probably the first time I have seen Clive Anderson out of his depth. Sir Les trampled all over him.

[@Simon_PieMan]

He didn’t quite let ‘her’ get into gear. A bit like that jerk Ross.

[@evenichols3517]

This man is a genius!!! Love him.

[@zapkvr0101]

Saw Dame Edna at the final show in Melbourne. Very funny

[@carlallen2775]

"At least mine are all joined together" 🤣

[@deanpapadopoulos3314]

Why one would interrupt a genius for whom the host can thank for his viewership is a bit hard to understand.

[@markpav9906]

[@777petew]

He knew about Clive, and he easily put him down.

[@miked.1647]

I have no idea who this awful host is, he's terrible. Thankfully the amazing thing about Dame Edna is that it really doesn't matter who is doing the interviewing, she totally takes over and in this instance makes this guy look like an absolute moron. God bless the incredible Barry Humphries. Hilarious.

[@sarahholland1375]

It's Clive Anderson. He's famous for pissing the Bee Gees off so much that they walked off set, after 5mins of a live interview. I think he implied they were has beens.

[@laxeystu8096]

He's a comedy writer and performer. The idea of the format was that rather than giving the guests an easy time as chat shows had previously, he would come back at them with wise cracks. It was good (he's a former barrister), but it got old because it could be a bit OTT, and of course the bee gees walked off, which more or less finished it off.

[@philipbrown2086]

Salute to Barry Humphries. We’re all half-masted, plastered today for old Bazza, the flagpole shoved right up the flag, if we’ve got any respect.

[@stevenbeaven1]

Clive Anderson just didn't understand how it worked. You could set Barry Humphries off and just let him go. He'd fill the air time. Anderson's ego got the better of him.

[@AUNZAnon]

"..and she goes off like a streak of piss", 😂lmao

[@iainsan]

Comparing these interviews with the ones Michael Parkinson did with both characters shows how inept an interviewer Clive Anderson is. Instead of allowing Humphries' characters to shine like Parkinson, Anderson constantly interrupts, breaks the the flow and dampens the humour. What an irritating little man he is.

[@alteredstate5111]

Poor Clive never stood a chance

[@leecorcoran6174]

Absolute legend, end off 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh Clive. Oh dear. Don’t try to top your talent, especially not Humphries. It is really your wish to be a floor-cloth?

[@crystalheart9]

I love Dame Edna! I wish the host would allow her to speak and stop interrupting.

I'd love to know what Sir Les and Dame Edna said to each other as they passed each other in the corridor.

[@stevebarlow1969]

I always loved clives sharp wit, why he acted this way with the mighty Dame was weird. Trying to out her, Dame Edna is real man, & bloody hilarious.

[@cathiiannii]

Yay! Barry got Clive good!! About time someone shut him up!

[@kaizenweisz2120]

"You were fucken terrible, Clive" 🤣🤣🤣 Saying to his face what so many have thought ahh hahahahahaha EDIT: Hope the Bee Gees got to see it too before we lost two of them.

Bendelack? He used to pop up all over in the 90s - just like Mykola Pawluk and Ken Morse's rostrum.

[@adamtzsch]

ppotter It’s only relatively recently that I found out Mykola wasn’t a woman, which I’d always assumed. I remember that name from practically everything I liked in the 80’s, too.

Good one cobber.

[@ah7910]

What annoys me - Clive tried to break the 4th wall and ‘out’ Barry Humphries mid-performance. Who the HELL did he think he was? A very cheap and desperate shot from Clive, clearly frustrated Dame Edna was stealing his thunder and leading. Clive’s dry humour didn’t gelled with me - though he could be reverent to some guests, usually he was snide and a bit too sarcastic for my taste. Bare in mind that Dame Edna had hosted her own shows and interviewed huge A-list celebrities at this point in her career, probably bigger than Clive could attract for his own show... The arrogance of the man, to try and ‘out’ Edna as Barry during mid-performance wasn’t playing fair. Such a petty move, it would of achieved nothing had he succeeded, it wouldn’t have got to the audience on side, it wouldn’t have even tempered Barry and allowed him to host with more control, it was just a mean-spirited move and I LOVE how Barry Humphries just refused to even dignify it and carried on.

[@dardude1139]

Was it the Cilla Black show?😂, great put-down.

[@paulrichards2365]

Barry just passed away today in Sydney.

[@jacquelinedirk3777]

Clive Anderson who?? Lol😂

[@profmoriarty6697]

Anderson was an awful interviewer. Far too chippy. Out of his depth here.

[@franzfleischer3476]

Oh Clive Anderson. How dreadfully you botched this.

[@TheBlueDaweStudioThirlmere]

“You’re not doing that trick, are you?” Anderson means ‘The White-eared Elephant’, in which... but look it up. ‘Black Magic’: a box of chocolates formerly made by the Australian company Cadbury’s, and what you bought your sheila when you took her to the flicks if you were hoping for a leg-opener.

[@kevinlongman007]

Cadburys are a British company.

[@ProjeKtCamus]

Maybe they're thinking of Macrobertson which was an Australian chocolate company bought by Cadbury

[@HelenLopez-gh5bs]

I loved Barry as Dame Edna

[@djb4069]

Just a pure genius Male or Female, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@48tilt]

Today they call it gender fluid. The world has turned woke

[@grai]

Anderson thought he was cutting edge but he was just unpleasant and nasty he had no sense of comedy or timing and his persona was obnoxious, he was also a complete nervous wreck and so hard to watch He was so talentless even a genius like Barry Humphries could not prevent Anderson from wrecking the interview Truly dire

[@djbethell]

I forgot how embarrassingly dire Anderson was.

[@SS11660]

Good legs

[@htimsid]

[@ppotter]

Absolutely no idea! I wonder...

Please tell me those are not his real teeth

[@wellofbeersheba]

Get out of the way Anderson, clown, and let the masters do their work.

[@htimsid]

From 11:30, a reference to 'Ken' and 'Ann(e)' and 'lips for the two of us...(think about it)' - who's this about?

[@sandgrownun66]

Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson (married 1989 - 1995).

[@lindseydunn3680]

dismith I think she is referencing the lips on her face and her other lips, her vagina. Too much for the audience as nobody laughed, so she said “think about it” because they were slow off the mark.

[@dardude1139]

She’s referring to the fact that Kenneth Branagh has no lips, have a look at some photos, he has no lips!

[@elainehughes5789]

Cop the Truncheon down the strides.

[@rogerkleemann1691]

From a distant shore. A thought...bring Sir Les and Donald Trump together for an interview.

[@lenthisgoldstein9553]

hius Les Patterson is an offensive character but I prefer his Dame Edna,

Clive is really not very good is he?
