Rest in Peace Barry Humphries, comedic genius. Aussie icon.

Dame Edna owned this whole segment. True Master is action .

Jay wisely stepped back knowing he was being schooled by a legend.

Dame Edna was never a guest on a talk show. When you bring her out, the show is hers.

I can safely say there will never be another entertainer like Barry Humphries ever again. He was truly unique. And the world will never be quite the same without him. Thankyou so much Barry.

Elton is loving this because he gets her humour and is expecting anything to come out of Barry’s mouth 😂

I saw Dame Edna at the Moore Theatre in Seattle in January 2015 and got to talk with him out in the parking lot afterwards. He was happy that I have the DVD's of his shows "Neighbourhood Watch". Such a lovely man. The gladiolas he gave me lasted for a long time. I will always miss him. Rest in peace, sweet man.

I love how she takes over the show.

I just love Billie Jean's reaction to Dame Edna & Elton John. She is in constant hysterics.

He was an incredible man, very smart guy RIP Barry

Barry Humphries was truly a comedic genius - just coming out cold like that and dominating the panel and keeping the audience in stitches - so clever! R.I.P. ❤

Oh Dame Edna…you brought so much love and light into this dark world. Thank for making us laugh. We will miss you ❤

Yadda yadda yadda, "Oh hello Jay!" That killed me!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

An absolute Aussie legend. You will never be replaced Dame Edna/Barry. RIP with the Stars xxx

One of the greats. Never forget the Royal Variety performance when he sat next to Prince Charles and Camilla then said they had found him a better seat!! RIP Barry Humphries.

Jay is actually doing a great job just let Damed Edna talk no point interrupting when there’s a genius at work 🤩💚💙💜

Dame Edna just takes over. Brilliant.

Ever so sorry to learn about Dame Edna's passing. Thank you so much for countless good laughs and brilliant entertainment.

I saw Dame Edna 5 times on stage in London. In ‘ Back with a vengeance’ in 1989, she was raised on a crane like contraption in order to meet her paupers which were members of the audience sitting in ‘ the gods’. ‘ I’m very high up possums’ she said. ‘ Hope I don’t have any little involuntary reactions. Be it on your own heads if I do’. Wonderful memories.

What a remarkable set of guests on the stage at the same time. Even without any direct references, the intersection of ideas these three represent about gender and sexuality is just stunning.

Wonderful Barry, (in my humble opinion) Australian entertainment's greatest export. I'm 58 now and it seems that Dame Edna has made me laugh all my life. I will miss Barry Humphreys enormously.

Dame Edna always dominates the stage!

Barry, you were a true comic genius. Sadly missed. Oh and Edna, also missed. But not sadly. With glee and gracious thanks. Thank you so much for bringing fun and laughter into our lives

I saw Dame Edna some years ago on Stage & she was fantastic. Last year, I met Barry after his show & chatted to him for a few golden minutes! Rip Barry/Dame /Genius ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤

Dame Edna is basically the only one that forces talk show hosts to go quiet - even the quickest ones just let her run with it.

"A professional" Someone that makes the extraordinarily difficult look extraordinarily simple.

An absolute Aussie legend, Barry Humphries will be sorely missed. I was lucky to see him years ago and his character portrayals were hilarious Dame Edna Everage (a twist on the word Average), Les Patterson and thought provoking, Sandy Stone. We got gladiolas and chux were thrown into the audience. He was an extremely intelligent and insightful comedian, poet and artist. Vale Sir Barry Humphries.

Elton knew what was coming, Billy Jean appeared not to. The way Dame Edna makes her burst out laughing is just great. Gonna miss the Dame.

Billy Jean was just giggling in real time. So good to see.

Never lost for words and immediately commands attention, bless her.

I got to see the Dame and Sir Les no less than three times in the 1970s- I was a huge fan and we have lost a most remarkable and unique fun and laughs giving talent and razor sharp wit. Quite irreplaceable. RIP Barry Humphries - people will be mourning your passing all over the world ♥

I am lucky to have seen Dame Edna live twice in my lifetime. She was amazing!

The one. The only. Still the best . Rest in peace you brilliant bugger!

I hear Dame Edna’s voice and I smile comforted knowing I’m listening to a sage, swami, saint and seamstress. Love you BH

Timeless and still hilariously funny, 🤣🤣🤣 Rest in peace

Simply brilliant! If you want to see a gifted man, BH is certainly that. He will continue to bring tears to many eyes...big juicy tears of laughter. Thank you sir!

Oh man. I miss Barry already. The world is less fun now for his passing. RIP my friend.

Australia’s greatest national treasure… Dame Edna Everage.

2:08 “oh hello jay”. About peed my pants 😂😂😂

Thank you Sir for the great childhood memories, sitting with my parents and listening to them both laugh out loud. I had no idea what I was watching, but I enjoyed seeing them laugh. RIP mum and Dame of course.

Thank you so much for the laughs Barry Humphries! 💙

I very vividly remember watching this when it originally aired. I haven't laughed that hard too many times in my 54 years now! It was absolutely hysterical! And Elton did "Philadelphia Freedom" for Billie Jean...anyone else think that maybe Billie & Elton were twins separated at birth & raised in different countries?? They looked so much alike for years.

I've seen Edna perform twice in Los Angeles and both times hysterical!

No one touches the improvisational gifts of Barry Humphries. I saw him in concert in San Francisco several years ago and was blown-away how she/ he was able to literally create the performance on the spot interacting with the audience. Absolutely brilliant, nothing was planned and it was hystarical

RIP Barry. Dame Edna will be missed.

The amount of spectacled icons through the roof.

Those notes which the talk show hosts have on their little cards: If you invite Dame Edna you might as well throw them away, she always just takes over everything.

I've always loved Barry. I actually didn't know he was a female impersonator. He wasn't as well known here in the U S. But really loved. Genius 😍💔

Love this. What talent to hold court like that for so long.

He’s a comical genius a one of a kind.

Rest in Peace Sweetheart 💋 You were one of a kind and the most beautiful person ever. The amount of people who you brought laughter and joy to all over the world can never be matched. I'm sure you are still making them laugh up in heaven. 🫂😔🫶🏻

God bless Barry Humphries, so entertaining, so iconic, so Aussie 💕

Rest in peace Barry, Sir Les, Dame Edna

One of a kind! Dame Edna was so brilliant and funny! Those outfits/ so unique!

We're going to miss Dame Edna. Barry Humphries was a genius. difunctional family like the queen. brilliant. R.I.P.

Elton is brilliant also.

Back in 1978, Dame Edna released a song entitled "Every mother wants a boy like Elton".

Elton's dry humour sex comments are only understood by Barry Humphries. Both these guys are in a league of their own on set here.

Went to see Dame Edna in San Francisco almost 23 years ago with my wife. He absolutely killed it. As a Brit I felt so proud. RIP Barry you were the best.

Genius at work. Took right over the whole show !

Incredibly quick wit. Love the double entendres.. Saw Dame Edna live in Australia some years ago now with Madge in tow. Very entertaining.

I saw Elton two days ago and put a video of the show on my channel. I met Barry Humphries in Sydney a few years ago. As funny today as he was here

Barry is a genius! Never forget when he had Cher as guest, she was boiling of fury but Barry saved it, after 2 minutes she was laughing Again...

It is interesting that performers like Elton John and Cher are true professionals. They recognize they Barry is there to do his performance and they support him by blending in and not distracting from his moment to shine.

You kind of forget that with the passing of the wonderful Barry Humphries that we’ve also lost Dame Edna too 😢

Dame Edna makes me lough out loud every time - even now. Poor Jay. He was being ignored and hated it.

Elton John looks nervous here. But this is funny☺️

I've heard of her but never seen her. She's hilarious and so clever! Omg! Down the rabbit hole I will now proceed.

From his autobiography (title escapes me, but well worth reading), here's one of his stories (slightly paraphrased by me) from his early childhood growing up in Melbourne, a very upper-middle class and staid community. On his street lived an extremely prim and proper family in the traditional mould: stay at home mother, banking executive father doing his daily 9-5, only child little girl, about 5 or 6. Being on her own, she got bored quite easily. She was allowed to play on the front lawn, but was strongly forbidden to venture beyond those boundaries. However, one day, something exciting happened. On the vacant plot next door on the other side of the chainlink fence, some builders turned up and started to lay the foundations for a new house. Of course, the girl was fascinated: so much more interesting than her dollies and other toys. She observed intently everything the guys did going about their duties. They in turn noticed her and idly chatted with her every now and again. The mother observed all of this, and talked privately with the foreman, who invited the little one over as a 'helper'. Overjoyed!! So for the next days and weeks, instead of a pretty dress, she put on 'work clothes & wellies' and did a few safe and undemanding jobs with the labourers for a couple of hours each day; Mother instructed her not to make a nuisance of herself by asking too many questions and be as quiet as possible and to do as she was told. She was especially in her element at smoko (breaktime), pretending to be Mother and pouring the tea for all the lads, listening intently to their conversations. Eventually, after a couple of weeks the guys had a whipround, and on their payday presented her with an envelope with a few dollars inside so she wouldn't feel left out. The little girl was ecstatic, and ran home to her mummy with it and wanted to go and buy some new toys. However, her mother was careful and cautious and told her they would have to open a bank account and save it for a 'rainy day'. (Girl was confused and didn't understand as they were always sunny days in that part of Australia.) So next day they went into town to visit her father's bank. Of course, the female teller recognised them and said to the little one: "Wow, so much money! Where did you get it from?" "I've been working on building a house next door.These are my wages!!" "Gosh! You're such a big girl now. Was it hard work?" "Oh, not too bad, thank you for asking." "Did you learn a lot?" "Yes, I think one day, when I grow up, I might join that profession." "And are you going to be doing any more building soon?" "Well, we will if the fucking bricks ever turn up. And we're going to be demanding more pay from that bloody bastard big boss!!"

RIP Barry Humphries, AKA Dame Edna, Sir Les Patterson, entertainment legend.

Global icon.. from a past but must missed era...

Billie is having a ball!

Elton being British kept up with the Aussie. The other 2 were probably a little lost here lol

She just outshines everone

Barry Humphries, comedy genius.

Where are Edna's gorgeous dresses now, they need to be in a museum.

What a showman What a man RIp Barry

A silver accessory for his IV drip.

Thanks for all the laughs Barry ❤

Old women in Melbourne actually spoke like. He's amping it up, but not by much.

Oh Dame Edna, the world will be so much less colourful without you. X

Truly one of the GREATS..on ya Bazza mate!

She takes over the whole show 😁

Jay Leno getting interviewed on his own show.

Australian at its 👌 best

Goodnight and god bless Barry, your alter-egos Dame Edna and Sir Les (Pattison) will be aorely missed!

Very funny. RIP Barry Humphries..

It is impossible absolutely not to smile at this lady...

Barry, they screeched and cancelled you.. they spat on your name and legacy. But we are all here supporting you. We all love you and always will... The screech will fade soon but your beauty will live on. Thanks dame and mate.

Billie Jean king loved every second of that and you could definitely see Barry and dame Edna definitely admired her for the great sports woman she was....

Jay knows he is so out of his element. I think he's enjoying her taking over.

I see Dame Edna I pause to watch RIP lovely lady

Omg just so on the edge no-one knows what to do RIP BARRY HUMPHRIES

Dame Edna taking over! Hello Possums!

Yet again she STOLE TH SHOW...!!! Nobody can match her quick wit and pose.
