The Best of Solid Gold ~Madame~

[@DouglasUrantia]

There's no reason that 'Madame' cannot live on forever. She's a classic.

[@bodyvegas]

I remember when Madame's Place was on TV. It's such a shame that Wayland Flowers passed away in 1988. Thanks for posting these, they are great!

[@gretagarbeige]

Raja brought me here and I'm LOVING IT !!

[@jasonlassiter9229]

That guy Wayland was so talented...I remember watching Solid Gold as a kid just to watch Madame. Good Stuff 👍

[@LadyDonegan]

MADAM! Wow I watched this show as a little girl! She was the ONLY reason I watched!

[@apollozero]

Madame

[@teresaclarke9908]

I miss her. If she was alive I would tell her that she was (and is) my favorite puppet.

[@msallegrad]

Remembering Madame in 2024 🎉💐🌟

[@TT-rz5td]

Wayland Flowers was so talented that sometimes one forgets that Madame is a puppet.

[@spacecadet1ful]

I sure have MISSED her! I forgot how funny she was!

[@marcbbaby]

That was funny... Waylon Flowers had a great sense of humor and made this one of this funniest puppet act on TV. Thanks for posting.

[@renecruz8973]

📺 I used to watched this with my mom & dad when I was 14yrs old! 💃

[@CobraCutie]

Brought back a lot of great memories, I had almost forgotten all about her. What a treat to watch! thank you so much for posting.

[@cbcool30]

Madame was the best. I always loved her on this show. Wayland Flowers was a genius in bringing her to life. Nobodyelse could duplicate that. She has her place in popular culture. On Will and Grace season 7 Karen compared herself with glasses to Madame. She said " When I saw that hideous face all I could think of was I should be wearing a feather boa and Wayland Flowers should have his hand up my ass!" LOL!

[@sallyfreeman9971]

I remember watching Solid Gold in 1983 💘😘😍

[@JimyJak]

It was a great era for comedy. Madame was the greatest. RIP Wayland.

[@MrCristoforoantonio]

Wow, I forgot about Solid Gold! I used to watch this all the time. Madame is so funny.

[@GoldenBlissWithin]

ooo I loove Madam! She needs her on KZbin channel with weekly shows or something like that. She looks alot like Joan Rivers too... or rather Joan looks like HER now lol great post :)

[@Lana2k6]

Ah, that sassy, brassy, crassy Madame! Thanks for posting!

[@tmkcurtis]

omgoodness i thought madame was very funny as a kid and now that I am an adult I can understand why this show came on at night..

[@kazzpham1740]

Loved her sense of humor 💝💝

[@jalaneperry7643]

Waylon was such a talent Ashame we lost him to Aids

[@AntonioCharlieBrownClark]

I LOVED Waylund and Madame! they were the MOST!

[@sondramister8188]

I was a young girl used to love to watch her 😂

[@Freedomx22]

LadySakurra you are way too funny! I remember Madame on Solid Gold also. This really brings back memories!

[@lbCharmed1]

LOL! She always cracked me up!

[@melissawilson7131]

I loved watching her with Andy Gibb!! She did not creep me out.

[@drakestar13]

i watched her as a kid....amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rcole6679]

Love the donut joke! And the Nixon joke!

[@DeepGreenForest]

The makeup, the hair...women were lovely, like little Christmas gifts, in the 80's. You don't appreciate a good thing until it's gone.

[@luisestrada4443]

Who else is here because of Raja's portrayal of Madame in Snatch Game on Drag Race All-star's 7?

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

I love Madame, she rocks!

[@ManuelGuzman067]

I used too love solid gold .madame was a riot rip wayland 💐

[@wisdomseeker3362]

Wayland Flowers and Madame were a great team .

[@brofranomo]

What a cute funny character I had completely forgotten about.

[@spacecadet1ful]

Ibecharmed1, thankyou so much for posting these! A blast from the past! Thanks again!

[@madelinejennings3637]

Reminds me of getting my hair combed as a little girl 🎀. My Mom would be watching.

[@smellygoatacres]

Madame Rocks!!!

[@trevorthompson7604]

Absolute class

[@davidchlopecki9990]

Madame is a national treasure!!!!

[@lbCharmed1]

Madame was on for about 3 seasons. If you see the intro you will see "Wayland Flowers & Madame". Wayland was the other half of the "dou". Wayland died in 1988 at the age of 49 and supposedly Madame is buried with him.

[@tyme4mike]

The dark girl in the back at 4;15 was the dancer in Kool and the Gang's tune "Fresh". She can move like no tomorrow.

[@nettienewsom9506]

I miss Madame

[@mostpeoplearebots]

Nettie Newsom when did she die?

[@stewartsmall6063]

Madame rocked it!

[@lbCharmed1]

I know that Waylan had many different Madame puppets and the part about her being buried with him is pretty much now an "urban legend" and part of that legend is that the one buried with him was the "first" Madame.

[@wilburmcbride8096]

I heard Wayland Flowers was cremated. I would like to know the gravesite, if this is true.

[@tracygreen7559]

I saw a Madame puppet in the puppet museum in Atlanta.

[@ghost_knight_001]

Classy puppet

[@lbCharmed1]

Well the dancers didn't actually start having speaking rolls til season 5. That's one good thing Rick Dees added.

[@markhonerbaum3920]

She's so hilarious she really sucks you in to the hysterical great humor!

[@DrCarr-nb1tf]

Madame, had back in the quite a monologue, very nice indeed

[@Wavz76]

This puppet scared the Hades out of me! I still feel odd watching her. 😂😂😂😂

[@blacksheba]

😂

[@karameldreem]

I really did like madame. and Marilyn Mccoo aslways sobeautiful her and her husband sing my favorite duet ; you don't have to be a star!!!!!

[@lbCharmed1]

Actually BOTH Tony and Alex were in "A Chorus Line - The Movie". Tony landed the role of Al DeLuca, while Alex was an auditioner.

[@lbCharmed1]

Wayland was the man who worked the puppet AND did the voice of known to the world as Madame.

[@Mxyzptlksac]

The dancer Tony starred in a few movies.

[@brainybrownchic]

bring back solid gold.

[@sallyfreeman9971]

I agree

[@jafll141]

That puppet use to creep me the hell out.

[@randycox3232]

RocCity Plowing & Lawncare Inc, .....some shows Wayland and Madame were on, they show Wayland speaking holding Madame. He didn't conceal speaking like other ventriloquists did. Trippy!!!!

[@Wavz76]

RocCity Plowing & Lawncare Inc, Me toooo! She terrified me! 😂😂😂

[@blacksheba]

Me too. I was scrolling for this comment even if it is years old. 😂

[@BennettBB]

Ok...first lbCharmed, I am officially back! As in how long Waylon Flowers and Madame lasted on SG, Seasons 1-4. I thought it was so funny when Madame would flirt with Tony and Alex. During Season 4, Madame had her own "radio station" on SG called "K-Droop."

[@kakumei77]

actually here cause of Mike Rapaport calling Harry Styles Madame on Wendy William then Raja did Snatch Game

[@DENo1MatchGameFan]

Actually, Joe Kovacs brought back Madame in July 2006 in a play called "A Comeback For Abroad."

[@lbCharmed1]

@MagicWally Glad you enjoyed it. Feedback like this is helpful!

[@robbieeades1956]

Marilyn McCoo was absolutely smoking hot!!!!!

[@slsteam6912]

Madame was designed to look just like Dionne Warwick. Talks like her too.

[@ManorHQ]

4:59 Tony Fields who played evil Sammi Curr in the horror flick Trick or Treat (1986).

[@lbCharmed1]

Hey Lana2k6, it's been a while, good to see you!! And you're welcome!

[@whartonchavez7227]

The best ventriloquist. Lv u madame n Wayland.

[@slimdude2011]

Wayland Flowers wasn't a ventriloquist, he was a puppeteer. There's a difference! Before every live show he performs with Madame, he always says to the audience that, he's not a ventriloquist.

[@augustgirl]

Marilyn Mccoo is absolutely stunning. 😮

[@marcmichales7141]

The human model for Madame was probably a composite of many people but the elderly hostess at a restaurant on DuPont Circle was rumoured to be the model for the face. The hostess definitely resembles the puppet.

[@cymrusek]

Raja made me come here

[@ctmagnus760]

Madame = Goddess

[@ronatajohnson5658]

Bring her back!!!!

[@lbCharmed1]

Welcome back! OK - but she wasn't on during the entire season 1 and I don't think she was there for the entire season 4, either (am I wrong?). So would that be about 3 seasons, give or take a few episodes? Just trying to clarify . . .

[@kylesdad77]

Me too!!!

[@holiviaartist]

luv her forgot she was on solid gold

[@lbCharmed1]

@spacecadet1ful - you're very welcome. Thanks for the kind comment!

[@sueann1985]

Looking at this at 50 yrs its hilarious..but as a child...I was kind scared of Madame, though..nobody knew...

[@briansheil9763]

Paul Williams was part of “Batman: The Animated Series”. Do you know which character he voiced?

[@lbCharmed1]

Of course! Loved that cartoon. He voiced Penguin.

[@briansheil9763]

lbCharmed1 Yup!

[@lbCharmed1]

You're welcome! ;-)

[@PoughTownBoy]

She and Judge Judy are sisters.

[@seanpowell1001]

Cindy Lou They do look like lol! Whenever I watch Judge Judy, I right away think about Madame from Solid Gold. lmao

[@bqkmg2037]

😅😂😂Good one...

[@gregbee891]

Kelly Conway

[@SuperOskar2000]

Solid gold had be the gayest show of the 80s no wonder I never missed an episode! !!

[@lbCharmed1]

Agreed, Tony = *sigh*

[@saintben2008]

there was some actress that looked like her. but i can't remember who.

[@lbCharmed1]

@CobraCutie - you're very welcome!

[@ItCantRainForever2]

He looks like Madame on Solid Gold or Saw 🤣

[@petermancuba]

Could you add subtitles pls? Thanks!

[@lbCharmed1]

@OLDSCHOOLHHSEX Basically up until the point when Rock Hudson came forward people had heard about it, new it was spreading but didn't know anyone that had been affected by it. He was the macho "ladies man" from the 50 & 60's so when he came forward - he also outed himself because at that time "only gays got it". He was the 1st person the international public could now say they "knew" somebody who got AIDS. A horrible to be associated with for eternity.

[@ukettly]

Soo... has anyone ever noticed the resemblance between Madame and Evelyn from Basketball Wives??? ....You're Welcome!

[@lbCharmed1]

I don't know why you'd say "Something like that U would expect from the 1990's-NOT the 1980's!". AIDS cases and deaths started being reported in 1980 and most people diagnosed with the disease were only given about 2 years to live since they had no way of testing to diagnose the it that once they figured it out, you were pretty much gone. By the 1990's it was a full scale world threat.

[@MrChristopherPriest]

wow! i feel soo sooo old right now!!! lol!! jk!

[@RainbowBrite80]

I was always under the impression she was one of the muppets...guess not huh?

[@muhammadazeem1346]

I came to this video following a very weird KZbin rabbit hole.... From the Boys TV show where they kinda parodied this show

[@wraithstrongopark]

lmao i remember the 80's and all the cocaine driven shows. solid gold was the cocainiest.

[@MaleOrderBride]

I'm still shocked that Neil Sedaka is straight?!

[@delancummings4071]

Phyllis Diller

[@jaymichele11]

Marilyn McCoo lol wow! I have a friend who never heard of this show...smh

[@jspring9588]

Jim Cornette brought me here

[@lbCharmed1]

sorry, that should be "speaking roles" - my English is going down the toilet . . .
