Kenny Everett as "Cupid Stunt" on "Parkinson" '82 (pt.1/7) HQ 

No-one could ever replace him. The ultimate comic genius. So much of his stuff was unscripted, and he didn't need writers. Incredible!

Cupid Stunt was not only his best character, it was probably the greatest comedy drag act of all time - Kenny made it look effortless

He never goes out of date. How the hell he got away with a name like Cupid Stunt is amazing at that time in Britain. He was wonderful!

The passing of 'Kenny Everett' was as hard hitting as the passing of 'Rik Mayell'. My Dad hated us watching this show when we were kids. I got caught by my next door neighbours Mum, who walked in the room with me and a friend. I was sat in her swivel chair spinning around holding two ornaments from her fire mantle place (hands holding balls), swinging my legs over saying "It's all done in the best possible taste".

Kenny was a grade A total original genius. We may never see his like again.

Kenny Everett was a one off, we will never see the likes of him again and Tv has gone so boring over the years since he died at such a young age. RIP Legend

The fact he never shaved or hid his beard just adds to the humour - hahahaha

Kenny was brilliant, he is sadly missed on both TV and radio. In these days of tenth rate rubbish masquerading as talent we need his genius again. He left us too soon.

Sooooo sadly missed. He was a huge part of my younger years from the zany shows on Capital Radio to the TV series. I never missed a show. One of the best British talents ever to come out of this country.

Brilliantly performed. Crying tears watching Kenny. Cupid Stunt and Sid Snot. My favourites. Never missed. ...😂🙌

Lovely Kenny Everett....missed like Freddie Mercury. These guys had lovers together. Pity. RIP.

I still cry with laughter when I see him. So missed.

He truly was an amazing talent. No one before or since has ever come close to him & no one ever will. He wasn’t afraid to take risks even if it got him into trouble.

Me and my mum watched this when I was a teenager........totally original Saturday night entertainment! Doubt humor like this will ever be allowed again or replicated....totally brilliant!

That wonderful spoonerism ' Cupid Stunt ' reminds me that a two famous Hollywood stars named their offspring - ' Shiloh Pitt ' .

I've never been any good at impressions but I could do Cupid Stunt brilliantly. .,Miss you Kenny ..what a legend!!!

If only we had TV like this again, Kenny was simply brilliant, and all done in the best possible taste !!!!

We all pretended to be Cupid Stunt as kids - even though we didn’t get the double entendre 😂

Apparently the BBC would not tolerate Mary Hinge as a name but allowed Cupid Stunt. Boy were they gullible.

Kenny the original Conchita!! all done in the best possible taste!!

Mad as a box of frogs Kenny is and was hilarious, really miss the genius that was Kenny Everrett

Legend. Fantastic dj too. Kenny was big Mates with Freddie Mercury and was the first dj to play and recognise the genius of Bohemian Rhapsody whilst other djs said it was too long and would flop. Anyway years later after becoming the most successful record of all time I think he was so ahead of his time and a visionary in seeing it's future in the music history all of fame. - just a bit ✌

Came here after hearing the sad news of Michaels passing. Both legends

It always saddens me to see Kenny on form like this--such, such a terrible early loss for British comedy and entertainment generally

I remember watching this when I was a kid and it was as hilarious then as it is now, just fabulous!

Kenny Everett is a legend. So sad that he died before I was born

His style of humour and delivery is hard to beat - one of the greats.

The fact he kept his beard made this even more hilarious

You never get tongue in cheek comedy anymore This generation is so offended I kiss this great memories of my youth. Thanks for sharing 😊

One of Michael's best interviews, imo. Kenny was on fire.

I haven't laughed that much for years Long Live Kenny Everett!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤😂

A comic genius and a great DJ, so missed.

His reading of the auto cue makes it even funnier. Genius.

love him so much!! my hero!! cupid stunt is fabulous in the best possible taste!!!

So funny, and fair play to Parkinson for having such a good sense of humor...

A true innovative genius who used modern technology in such a unique way. I adored his shows on Thames, and Kenny left us way too early. He was such a funny and clever man who’s sorely missed to this day.

Seeing Parky try to keep a straight face after saying "Cupid Stunt" would have been well worth the bus fare home.

we need a kenny now tv has become blaa, safe and quickly forgettable

Shame he's gone. Anyway. He is an icon. Bless him

just watched this again, in absolute tears of laughter, no one could do that but our Kenny, so sadly missed by all he came across (in the best possible taste of course) a total genius that this shithole of a world could really do with now.

Bless your ❤️ Kenny. Rest in Paradise. 🌞🌄💚🎶📺📽️🎬

I loved this when I was a child. I used to do the legs throws.

Very sad that it was Parkinson has died, I can imagine a reunion interview with Kenny Everett as Cupid Stunt in the afterlife.

Total genius. Love the guy RIP

One of the Best Entertainers of all time, RIP Kenny Everett.

Brilliant! loved the Kenny Everett show growing up

brilliant miss kenny

Kenny .... What a Legend !!! Miss you !!!

Kenny was a unique and very funny man, I don't think there will ever be another quite like him.

Started watching this when I was 2/3 years old with my mom, I adored Kenny everette, and loved Cupid stunt and Sid snot. Only ever felt devastated by two celebrity deaths, Kenny everette and Eric Morecambe. Harmless comic who'd probably end up cancelled by this generation. So glad I was born when I was so I could enjoy a childhood and teenage years that never read too much into everything we saw. He really was an amazing man

Pure comedy gold! Quite possibly one of my all time favourite comedy moments

I nearly had a fit laughing the first time I saw Cupid.......Have to admit though, it took me a while to realise Cupid Stunt was what she was !!!

How I miss the one and only, fabulous Kenny.

RIP kenny, we all come and then we go but you put on a fantastic show.

Amazing that this was 30 years ago - doesn't seem like it!

I remember where I was when I heard Kenny had died. Sad.

Lovely... much missed. Thank you for posting this vid

Ahead of his time by at least a decade at any point in his career. R.I.P Kenny.

I've got Parkinson's disease...I keep getting attacked by a f*

i was brought up watching this guy in the late 70's/early 80's, but most of it didn't make sense, now it really does make sense of what he was trying to say, and to make it comedy was brilliant, ITV took a huge risk, but it paid off

Thanks for posting. I’d forgotten how good Kenny Everett really was.

I was born in 79, and i can remember clearly sitting watching The Kenny Everett Show as a kid, and laughing my arse off, even though i was only about 3 or 4... not because i actually got the jokes, but because he was just always a funny funny man. Running around with giant hands, dressed as a woman with a beard, these are things that any kid will find hilarious. And because my parents would be laughing of course. For someone who has been dead for over 30 years he is still in my mind

Genius. Way over the audience's head

I don’t think we’ll ever see Kenny’s like again - he was an absolute genius - and it was all in the worst possible taste 😆

The BBC wouldn't let him call a character Mary Hinge, but Cupid Stunt? No problem!

Good on ya Kenny, you may no longer be with us, but the laughter you brought us, will live on 4-ever. r.i.p.

Cupid Stunt would fit in this day and age....

On BBC Radio 4 just now ( 24 July 2012 ) a disc jockey apparently of renown called Christian O Connell , just said ( and not in his opinion) something to this effect “ Steve Wright was the first DJ on British radio whom was irrelevant and sarcastic and had hilarious characters “ . He was speaking of his influences in the 1980s which is fair enough but for someone of his apparent experience in this country, I find his statement not only to be misinformed but bloody bollocks and untrue. With respect to Steve Wright , Everett was around years before and wasn’t half as sanitised as Kenny and as far as I’m aware , has never outraged or been sacked then re- employed by anyone. There’s no comparison. It’s like equating Robin Williams with Micheal Macintyre. Ken was a pathfinder for guys like Adrian Juste and Steve Wright. Young folk it’s a fact . 🏴❤️

I tuned into 'This Morning',(yeah,I know,sad),& Katherine Kelly,formerly of Coronation St. was talking about a docu-film in which she plays Lee,Kenny's wife which is supposed to be on tv tonight but for the life of me I couldn't find it.Kenny was the master of his craft.From Gizzard Puke to Cupid Stunt & all the characters inbetween he made your ribs ache.I had the pleasure of meeting him once,just for a few minutes,but it's one thing I'll always remember.He was a joy.

This is great footage, just before Cupid met her 7th husband, Willy Sanker

I loved Kenny Everett he was so funny

Cupid Stunt - amazing name! Would he get away with this today?? I hope so. COMIC GENIUS!!!! R.I.P.

I loved him so much . He was , like all the greats , utterly unique . I remember every character and my nickname at school was Sid (Snot). I left a hole in the ceiling at my friend's house doing Cupid Stunt . I was about 10 and borrowed a pair of stiletto winklepickers from her mother to do it . Suffice to say the mother was out . I was so glad it wasn't my mother , the heat was bad enough! I would love all Kenny's work to watch over the years

This cured my Saturday morning hangover!! Thanx so much for posting this, and to all the Everett fans - you rock!!

Only on British TV - the best

I really miss Kenny he was a comedy genius and the world is a less funny place without him.

didn't she just win eurovision?!?!

how great would it have been to have a comic face off between 'cupid stunt' Kenny and 'Dame Edna Everage' Barry..Humphries that is..would have sold my soul to see that happen ;)

R.I.P. Michael!! 😪❤

Watching this in 2022...we now have "women" who actually look like Cupid Stunt, complete with beard! Kenny was ahead of his time 😂😂

Fucking funny. Good on parky for going along with it.

Absolute quality Kenny such a talent

That leg cross never gets old

The best ..... they will never be another xxxxxxxxxx 3❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Loved Kenny - Ms Cupid Stunt (always the best possible (4:43) possible taste) - a priceless original. Watching this has (seriously) made me look into getting the necessary....'accoutrements' I'd need to be Kenny as Cupid Stunt For 🎃 this year

Legend!!!!❤❤❤

Without Kenny we may well have never heard Bohemian Rhapsody being played

Oh my God , I JUST got the Cupid Stunt joke!! I can't believe they got away with that!!

I would love to get cupid in my waterbed for the night

Saddest loss of 1995

never gets old

(sorry for the delay in answering) - Yes, I was one of the others. It sits behind me in a rack, here in my "den" where I'm retired to Thailand. "Snot Rap" - by Sid Snot and Cupid Stunt (with Kenny dressed as both!) I just looked at it. Brings the Old Days back!

2:37 - Every time he crosses his legs in that way just makes me laugh so much. In Stupid's words, "all done in the best possible taste".

There will never ever be another Kenny .

RIP Michael This is my most love interview

All in the best POSSIBLE taste!!

Kenny is great, but Michael Parkinson is deeply underrated in this. Not a comedian, but he's a great straight man and has good comic timing.

I still can't believe I got watch this naughty genius

Mary Hinge? That's brilliant. Thank you, you gave me a good belly laugh before turning in for the night by telling me that :-)

wish they would put his show back on
