k.d. lang - Dame Edna Interview 

+Steve Tayler Similar thoughts crossed my mind too.

+Steve Tayler Dame Edna is a fantastic Interviewer too ...

i'm literally on the floor laughing everytime i watch this. 2funny doesnt even start to describe it. hadnt watched in a couple years. so glad i checked back and found your great comment. Thanks Steve, Andy and SM.

Me too. This is LOL funny. Dame Edna has sharp but thoughtful wit and just keeps on the edge of political correctness. I just love this clip, it makes me laugh every time.

She was an inspiration. Still is, for sure, but at that time, many looked up to her to be exactly the person you describe.

I have watched this video before, now again upon hearing the sad news. In Latin, this creature called Hilarious Maximus! Very quick witted, top notch timing. Not so much an interview as "Make this Great Talented Person Laugh a Lot"

@@DrunkenUFOPilot Dame Edna was quoted as saying her shows were "really a monologue interrupted by total strangers"

​@@suave-rider 🤣

The look on her face was priceless. Like where is he going with this? Best humor is surprise.

Such a clever line....reminds me of interviews on the Mrs Merton Show. If you're in the UK, you'll know Caroline Aherne...another genius, sadly gone.

The lead-up to the punchline was perfect 😂😂😂😂

As a Canadian, and a fan of Kd's I ❤THIS!!!

This Canadian loves kd lang 🇨🇦 ❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

This interview is easiest the most fascinating and funniest in TV history ! Not a fan of k d. Lang for no special reason but this is amazing. .

spot on!

Lucky you .She seems very nice.

Heterosexual here too, but her voice just makes me melt into puddles of cold chills and emotions.

@holcroft1969 K.D. Lang had her musical emergence in the early 90s . Won the Grammy Award for Best Female Performance in 1992 for the song .. Constant Craving.. Bryan Ferry was an 70s 80s musical icon.. member of the group Roxy Music..loved them both.. it's easy to get mixed up ... both being elegant stylistic crooners..

I always loved Dane Edna...she was so hilarious... RIP💙🙏💙

And clearly a lovely, goodhumoured and warm person too

100% ❤

I am agree with you

@@shalizehnasiri362 mnmnmnmnmnj

So true.

Dame Edna's genius was transposing KDs sexuality for her nationality in the conversation. The word pride came up a few times. Hilarious!

Flaunting.... your beaver.

She must have been so disappointed 🤣🤣🤣

Genius pure genius

Absolutely comedy genius

But you don’t flaunt your beaver 🦫

She's an amazing entertainer, and seems like a great personality too.

My forever crush! ❤️

Well I’m American and I love KD!

Some of my best friends are Canadians. 😉 I even have friends with dual Citizenship.

I’m a trans guy, and have always looked up to her. I often wonder how she feels about gender, as she never complains at being called she, even though everything about her says she would have been perfectly happy being born a guy. But she’s never said, so I suppose we can’t presume either way. It’s very difficult transitioning, there’s sexual function issues, and physical changes. K.D’s voice is the most beautiful one on planet Earth, and a tremendous gift. I’ve been on the T for two months and my voice is changing, and whilst that to me is a gift, and might enable me to join a singing group without humiliation, for K.D. having anything risk her voice is maybe unthinkable.

@@andrewhaywood3853 I think it's certainly true that she wouldn't want to risk her voice. I don't know much about her, but there have been "butch" lesbians since forever and it's just fundamentally not the same thing as needing to be a guy. It's almost like people are forgetting that butch lesbians are a thing. Of course we don't know her private thoughts on it, but I think it's always better to just take people exactly as they seem to be unless they tell you otherwise. It's okay to be a butch lesbian that gets mistaken for a man. Being a trans guy is fine too, but since many more people are gay than truly trans, there are more butch lesbians in the world than there are trans guys. In some ways society seems to be suddenly losing its tolerance for homosexuality and for cross-dressing unless it is also tied up with gender identity. Transitioning with hormones (as you know) is pretty hard on the body and risky health-wise and I don't want society to confuse young gay and/or gender non-conforming kids into thinking that all of them are trans (and that if trans, that necessarily means they need medicalization). I hope none of that came across the wrong way.

@@freedombug11 ..they are as soft as butter those butchies, I dated two. and they are totally women. They are not males. Delia Morris

Just guessing, but K.D. seems completely comfortable with herself. It's part of her charm.

@@user-yc7tv5cd9y Agreed! (I dated one also in my youth). Quite feminine in their own way, as is k.d. lang.

I would be too, if he didn't basically disown us.

I found out this evening that my mother, now 90, saw Barry Humphries at Melbourne University. From what she said that would have been around 1955, when Edna Everage, from Mooney Ponds, first hit the stage.

well maybe not 'straight' away 😏

​@@suave-rider I see what you did lol!

K D has such a beautiful voice

So...Canadian essentially.

@@VINvIN344 Each of them is a superstar in their own country. Each of them is very talented. By the way, I am neither Australian nor Canadian. I do admire real talent. You really twisted my comment you know,. What I said was what a great video. Some of us don’t have balls enough to use our real name.

Isnt she gorgeous ? I'm a straight man but i love KD

Jaden Khor that was absolutely brilliant

It was absolutely GREAT!

So because he retired he's not a genius anymore? 🤔

One of my favorite internet clips of all time. KD Lang was such a trooper in this.

How long did it take for you to write this comment?

He doesn't do interviews, he does monologues and interrupts himself to allow the guest a few words.

Absolutely ❤

Oh that build up😊

We think alike, I thought so too.

So many laughs per minute this guy

rest in peace also Ivana Trump

It's hard to understand how rapid-Humphries improv was. In one of his interviews he showed how much he studied his interview subject so he had material to stitch together as comedy.

And the diehards were shocked when she came out flaunting her national emblems: her maple leaf, her mounty, her beaver!! ... Only Dame Edna could get away with that, just totally wicked humor!!

I think the word you are looking for (ie Ivana) is clueless. RIP Barry. Incredible interview with my favorite singer. 😢

@@rosaleesantamaria7673 Well, no surprise, she married Trump. But I give her credit-she was one of the few that ever got money out of him...

Ivana is 100% clueless about every punch line. I guess some people are in a completely alternate reality from the rest of us. She will probably go to her grave clueless.

@@WhiteTiger333 Yes, but in her defense, it has to be said English was her second language, so that might have affected her understanding and demeanor here. And, if she did remain clueless, she DID take it to the grave. She died last year as a result of an accidental fall.

@@bloodgrss Woah - I did not know that! (The fall, that is).

I agree. kd was sublime in this interview with Edna! True connection between them enabled this outstanding piece. If the guest has that kind of funny bone and warmth, Edna soars even higher -- Dame Judy Densch with Sharon Osborne, Tom Jones, Alec Baldwin, Lauren Bacall - I was so surprised by how down to earth some of them are.

Dame Edna's autobiography was called My Gorgeous Life. I've got a copy. It was hilarious 😂

I am so sad that She passed away.

Barry was a genius. An Aussie for the ages.

and THAT is comic timing, knowing just how and just when to give the surprise line.

Humphries....., such a genius. He had everyone on a roller coaster. Lang IS simply SO wonderful, SO polite. What a lovely personality, sense of humor.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time until this line!

Hilarious. Thank you.
