She knew exactly what was going on and played her part wonderfully, what a pro.

Gunston at his best, and a guest who was all-in for it - and even upped the game to match him, using her incredible allure. Gunston still managing his part perfectly, but how could you not be affected by such a great, and intelligent, funny beautiful woman using all her guile and charm ! Garry McDonald, comic genius, thanks for the memories!

She was always a class act. RIP lovely Karen Black.

The guys a complete master at his craft

Brilliant on both parts. Back when we were allowed to laugh.

Ain't nothing like a beautiful woman who doesn't take herself too seriously. One fine bucchanal lady.

Ali G had nothing on Gunston, pure gold

Brilliant, both of them. Karen great humour too.

I too would be tongue tied and bewildered in her presence. I would melt if I was sitting that close to her as well. You could tell that she enjoyed the effect she had on men. She was incredible!

The "Blown kiss" at the end is brilliant!

brilliant every interview he has done, he is the magician in comedy !

Aside from being a great actress (with an amazing range, she could do any genre you threw at her) and a very unique beauty, Karen Black is hilarious! I can't even put my finger on whatever it is that she does, but man that ole black magic's got me under her spell!!! She can do nothing but sip tea and ask seemingly innocuous questions "How old are you?" and make me laugh and give me the shivers at the same time. I will always love Karen Black!

She’s beautiful. I saw Easy Rider about 25 years ago and thought back them she was stunning. Hilarious from Norman when she flirts with him, he really is great at portraying himself lacking confidence.

Ah yes, The Little Aussie Bleeder...who could forget the brilliance of Gary Mc Donald. If you want to piss your pants laughing, go from here to his interview with Sally Struthers. It's got to be the greatest interview ever conducted anywhere in the world!

1:32 Her eyes when he mentioned "the hair down there". lol

Norman is brilliant.

Karen Black was just so giving in this interview (and ssssssmokin!!!)

Damn, her eyes are beautiful.

Fair go ha ha, I don't know how Norman manages to stay one step ahead of the star he interviews. Even when they become a little outrages he manages to get them acting outside their comfort zone, and controls it. Master at his craft.

Man she is something!

Karen Black , in a world of fakes, she was a Genuine Original ! A Great Actor and a Great Singer ! (and Norman Gunston is a hoot, as always !)

She's gorgeous and a good sport

She was brilliant.

LMAO I didn't think anyone made Gunston uneasy give her a prize

He’s so funny, so original, a real gem,really lovable

Everything stopped on Tuesday nights in NZ, and every surfer in the country located a box to watch the Norman Gunston Show. The Yanks had that satirical magazine, Australia gave us the little audience bleeder. Genius.

She knows her powers

This is pure gold! :)

Killer eyes and cool personality funny charming.

Norman rules! Karen's queen and a good sport. I remember Norman Gunston from ch4's early days but haven't seen this before, thanks for the upload.

Women just love this guy.. l'm sure they would slep with him just on pure personality.

Norman Gunston (Garry Macdonald) is genuinely shy with women (despite having a beautiful model wife). He said in an interview that when Black asked him to kiss her, he genuinely went to pieces and got really nervous, so that's not him acting!

I love the way women ‘get’ Norman… & appreciate (& encourage) his priceless humor - Legendary stuff 👍🥳

Absolutely. I shall always remember her in "The Great Gatsby". She was extraordinary.

Loved it. Wiping eyes loved it.

Trilogy of Terror, Airport 75, Burnt Offerings: I could never see her as beautiful…only terrifying.

Thank you so much for uploading these!!

It's the really good ones that get what's going on but always after they've asked themselves "is this guy for real?"

she was so fine

Stunning

So many people throughout my life say I look alot like Karen.. the eyes especially. Big compliment! The movie from 1993 called DARK BLOOD will finally be released the end of the month, Karen has a small part.

Wow the good old days...

Her darling friend Toni Basil... of "Mickey" cheerleading fame?! :^O

I love how his 'simple' humour is so far above their heads they have no idea what's going on. He actually was a brilliant and gifted harmonica player and more musically literate than most people he ever interviewed.

awesome //choice thanks for the clip

Great Aussie humour from Garry/Norman plus others like Barry Humphries that excel with off the cuff comedy without any stupid script! Still hilarious years later!

Thank you.

@JubalCalif Happy you liked it :) It's one of my favourite Norman Gunston interviews.

I never new Norman Interviewed so many personalities ! Karen was great

Now here's a woman who knows how to use her sexuality to make a man feel uncomfortable

Ha ha Karen Black took that to the next level, great sense of humour.

genius character

Absolute solid gold. Where have all the lovely leading ladies gone that oozed sex appeal with _everything_ on? (Well, except the jacket, maybe). And if even that bloody dag Gunston can nearly get The One & Only Karen Black all over him, there's hope for me yet! ;^)

Check out YT clip Norman and The Dismissal when Australian government changed in a coup. He was in middle of it with politicians. On live tv.

I don't think Norman/Garry was flummoxed by Karen Black. It's just part of his act. He's a great comic.

boiks....lol...boiks....gaaahah....im preety sure she was thinking onamatopic boink , she devoures him utterly....poor norman.....he knew auntie was watching.

You're welcome :) I love this one.

That was fckn hilarious.

she is smouldering

How and why would anyone knock back a kiss from this stunning woman is a unimaginable? talk about staying in character!!

Stunner.

I think we only got one series of Mother & Son shown here Daniel and I only caught a few eps, so not really enough to get into it before it ended. Might get the dvds one day.

Gold

Full of fun.

She's a really good sport .. not like some of the people he's interviewed ..

A sad day when this gorgeous woman died 😢😭 gee I think Norman was in with a chance ?

ahhh those were the days, hard to find comedy like this now days

Classic

Remember him getting his collarbone broken by a Sumo wrestler after the nappy comment?

Interesting eyes karen black.

Sub titles are so wrong Is it just the Australian accent

Or trying to play on the swings at Pine Gap?

HaHaHaHa !!!!

I would so have built a tent ⛺️ in my pants.. I dunno how he dose it

Gary McDonald brilliant.

Lol

It’s not easy to fake flop-sweat…

Great, love Norman, yanks have no idea how to handle Aussie humour

he was good ... she was better !

Trilogy of terror..great stuff

He's really funny but missed a lot,ever since he was what?
