I always liked Dame Edna, but in the US, we had no access to this other character, because we suck because of our political correctness. Sir Les should have been a giant over here in the 90's.

It doesn't get any better than this! The genious comedian - Barry Humphries - wow, wow, wow!! AND with a talk-show-host - that is SO "IN" - and WITH - without trying to take command all the time. Michael Parkinson is the best host of them all! I am a norwegian, reaching my 60th, and just love this program. Thanks, thanks, and thanks again!
@1965JWP3 жыл бұрын
Agreed. As an American, I find Parkinson to be spectacular. He was as great as Johnny Carson to me as an interviewer. The same understanding on how to interview a guest even though different personalities. I'm glad Parkinson stayed on TV. When Carson finished in my country, it was over.

His last talk show here in the UK was in 2007 on ITV. I remember he said he went to Australia in 1982 do see how they did breakfast television, as he was going to be one of the presenters on TV AM, one of our first breakfast shows starting in February 1983. He must have been well liked to have been given a talk show.
