this guy is the voice of the Shrunken Head from Harry Potter.

A lot of people owe Lenny a lot. He broke through loads of barriers and gave my generation the best children TV decade. Thanks Lenny. You're the Don. Totally funny.

I loved him as a kid. Not so sure his humor would make me laugh so much now but he was one of the best shows on TV at the time. Man, he has really looked after himself health-wise. He looks great!

That dentist joke really killed me

This is fantastic. In all honesty this is my first time learning of him. I just spent the last three days watching the amazing impressionist azerzz. Finding another talent is a huge gift.

Lenny Henry is one of my childhood heroes :) He, along with David Attenborough, David Bellamy and the tv series Monkey (with its Budhist teachings) were beacons of light in the 70s and 80s.

Lenny Henry is a very talented and likeable performer. Sometimes I wish he had better writers because there are times he had weak material which undermined his calibre as a comedian. But when his material is good, he's excellent. "Three of a Kind" was a real mixed bag, but "Chef!" was gold.

His cackle as the shrunken head in Prisoner of Azkaban makes me laugh every damn time

He was hilarious as Chef!

I remember on The Lenny Henry Show, around 1984, he did a sketch on a train, with Adrian Edmondson doing a cameo as a "train nutter." At the start, Lenny says he is about to embark on one of the greatest train journeys in the world. Victoria to Brixton. On the way, he says the train is passing through Clapham. Which, he adds, in a good thing, as the train actually passes through Clapham :)

I love that he's still got his Dudley accent.

Lenny ! Flippin' love this guy - thick and thin x

Canadian, here. I first saw Lenny in Bernard and the Genie, then found his variety show. Chef is still one of my favourites.

His impression of his mother is my grandmother to a T. LOL

When your funny your funny. Memorable voices of the 70’s. Lenny your a legend

LOVE these clips Graham!

Best part for me was when he did his Mom's accent. I love that accent. XD Is that Hatian?

Love him!!! He is so funny

I’m absolutely dyslexic, I only listen to audiobooks. My favorite book of all time is Anansy Boys, and it’s because of this man here.

Love this guy, he was a household name throughout the 80s and thoroughly deserved the knighthood. Legend.

Weirdly, Lenny got his knighthood not for his entertainment work, but for services to barrel-making. Henry is one of the UK's foremost coopers, a dying art in this modern era. He once set a world record for the most barrels made by hand by one person in one day (46, in 2012).

Lenny Henry! Yes Chef! 🇮🇪

I loved his early impression stuff on Tiswas. Always had me in stiches.

Thanks for posting.

That Michael Crawford was so spot on 👌🏻

I had a drunken tube experience with "THE WOOD" man...he's rather quick...love him...

Lenny “The legend” Henry!!🖖🏿

Lenny is a legend. Love him.

The whole video was hilarious but the dentist joke got me laughing

He's so great lmao 😹

I went to the dentist and he said: "say ah!". I asked why and he said "my dog's dead" HAHAHAHA

your great new children's book is amazing well done

Legend.

I lived in England 1985-1990...Lenny Henry was one of my favorite comedians.

Legend

This an outstanding show always -- but this episode ranks up top with the very best !

Coming from dudley up the road from me.. We used to see him in a pub on the dudley road.. Called the ship and rainbow.. Mid 70s

Chất lượng, Sỹ Luân chắc thích bản Cover này lắm này! Chúc mừng em cùng toàn thể Ekip F. Studio

Những ca sĩ khác cho mình cảm giác thư giãn khi nghe! Còn ĐP luôn cho mình bị cuốn theo tinh thần bài hát.

Lenny was so funny especially on TISWAS 😂😂😂

Im Asian, and I was hoping he would do his 'Yellow Face' character. He used to pull his eyes so theyd be slanty, and mock our accents. Cracked me up every time...........

Good to see he is still our Lenny. Love him. Katanga my friend.

that was brilliant hahaha :D

I always loved Lenny Henry as a kid. He still makes me laugh

Godbless you brother

He can sing too. Kate Bush had him sing backing vocals on her song "Why Should I Love You"

Lenny is the BEST!!!!

I can confirm that the dentist joke still very much works

Omg, until the end of the video I thought Louis Theroux was Steve Carell

Zellweger both highly entertained and nonplussed she can't stop looking at Len!

Love Len

That's the first time I seen a Max Bygraves impression in a long-time.

The possibility of wood!😆😂😝🤣

Reminds me of the voice of the crab from "Little Mermaid. "

Yes Chef!

Just seen Lenny as a judge on 'Great British Menu' and in the chat between courses, he said the his 'New Faces' appearance was in 1985! Just ten years out, Lenny 😆

I can remember Lenny doing this stuff on TV when he was 16. He was really good back then. Now that he has a deeper, adult voice, the impressions are even better. Great performer.

His impressions of his Jamaican family, relatives, neighbours, these characters, he was educating me anyway on the background of some of my favourite athletes, actors, cimedians. Explaining how people from the West Indies came over to the UK to start a new life and help repair the country after the war. His Earls Court performance in 1989 was excellent, I was about 14 at that time, the VHS tape was in our house for years.

its good to see Lenny Henry again

Ah, Sir Lenworth. Oooooooooookaaaaaaay! ❤️

Lenny Definitely was the man I watched from tiswas on a Saturday.

Mannnnnnn. That's CHEF!

Man lenny has a strong voice

❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's still bloody funny

the man😎👍🏽

What a legend

Before I post my comment I would like to state that my ethnicity is Indian. I am 48 years old, I remember watching Lenny Henry on TV back in the late 80’s and early 90’s; my opinion of him back then was that he isn’t particularly funny for someone who is a professional comedian. I also noticed back in the late 80’s how white members of the audience used to laugh at LHs jokes in a not so sincere way, as he wasn’t that funny; but because there was a lot of racism back then, the good white people felt it necessary to be encouraging to LH by laughing his jokes. By the way I don’t dislike LH as a person.

"Go on, name me one funny black British comedian" Rick Gervais.

Lenny, you're fantastic!!!!

Grew up watching Lenny on Tiswas oooooooohh.....kaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy haha we we're all doing it at school eh.

I back watching Tiswas

Chef was a great show.

I remember watching ready steady cook and loved watching it.

Such a Jamaican mother.....I immediately had a flashback

Can someone tell me what did the short, old military guy say to Lenny when he was about to be knighted? I didn't get that last line... 🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks!

I am going to see Sir Lenny in November 2019 this'll be my 3rd time..the 1st being 1984..guess I'm a stalker >.

Love lenny

wow.

Could Delbert Wilkins come back ❤ The Lenny Henry show 😊I miss it

The late Bob Willis was basically the Brummie Max Bygraves.

Lenny was in my sisters class at school and and Johnny Johnson was in my class at school and my best mate and then his sister Dee Johnson was in my brothers class, who you might ask.. they both where band members of Simply Red lol sorry this is my claim to fame lol.

Nobody I talk to seems to remember this but I am quite sure he used to be in a weekly sitcom called The Fosters. My sister and I thought he was hilarious in it...Can anyone else remember this programme?

I remember the Lenny Henry Show here in the States, when I was young. Great comedian! 😄

TV's funniest doctor

"Ooooooooooooookaaaaay!"

The Voice Of Big & Small

Sir Henry

He's the guy who said Africa don't need white saviours, what a pick

His Tommy Cooper is brilliant.

Should have done David Bellamy: Gwapple me gwapenuts.

He is hilarious 😂

Definitely a Jamaican Mother.

5:20 vui cười xỉu luôn

I like that he has to contextualize the impressions for the young people.

Tiswas was his real catapault. It was hilarious. I'm sure there was a skit with him and Muhammed Ali on satelitte threatening the Phantom Flan Flinger. If somebody has that it is priceless across the pond humour. Ali getting gobby and pointing his finger while the flinger stands arms folded head up like Joe Frazer. Never matched as a family show. Organised, live chaos.

I think his Trevor McDonald was one of his best.

A legend

2:16 I don't understand a ploughman's lunch was he meant to say he was Furious or it was Furious I'm confused if anybody in the future could ever explain this to me it would be highly appreciated thank you.

Lenny wot a legend
