Dame Edna paid the greatest compliment to Robin Williams around '2'15' - "You know, I've momentarily lost control of my own show?!" . Two comic geniuses sharing a stage. Comedy gold.
@@Stephensorrentino agreed. Robin was hijacking her show. I absolutely adore Robin. However he could dominate and chew the scenery at times. His bit coulda been shorter. Cuz it was funny, but not 3-4 minutes of funny.
I can see these two chilling and laughing in Heaven right now. What a funny reunion it must have been, I bet even God was laughing. R.I.P Robin and Barry. Thank you both for making all of us laugh! ❤
Dame Edna absolutely knew what she was getting into when she invited Robin Williams onto her show. Although she had always dominated every interview she had ever been on, she knew the difficulties of someone who was, like her, an off-the-cuff improv comedian. She gave him his 15 minutes of fame, then took back control. There are very few impovs who can do this when they are put on the spot. Both brilliant, different styles, but both gave a nod to each other for their craft. What the hell will we do now that they both are dead?
What an incredible mix of stars in this. I wonder how much of it was choreographed, there would have been an outline. And having Ringo, what a show. Nothing like this for eons and never will be again sadly. Massive talents and personas. ❤
2 Comedy icons together. One of the funniest parts is when Robin Williams goes upstairs and Dame Edna says, ''I think I've lost control of my own show!''.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face..
The humour,the wit,the wry looks,the timing,are all unsurpassed. I have sat in the front row for a couple of the stage shows,and laughed till my stomach hurt.Bloody brilliant. There aint nothing like the dame.
A hint Robin's sadness at 5:08-5:12. "I feel good about myself most of the time". Both wonderful entertainers and human beings. RIP Dame Edna and Robin Williams.
@@r4h4al the key was in “most of the time” … implying that there are times it is not true. But, Robin appears to have been pretty young when this was filmed … would bet he wasn’t dealing with the Lewy Body Dementia yet, and that was what caused him to take his own life later.
@@r4h4al You didn't pay attention : Robin Williams said he felt good MOST of the time that was the poignant part people were talking about, get it now ?? Or did it go over again ?? LOL. 😅😅😂😂🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄🙄
Barry is awesome. If we had this sort of intertainment in America other than that reality horseshit we now have, I wouldn't have stopped watching TV 20 years ago.
Amazing dynamic in this video. Robin storms in and completely takes over. Edna has no choice but to let him roam free and wear himself out a bit. When his energy starts to decline a little, she rips his mustache off but it doesn't take him down enough. She has to call him out on his "stupid Italian accent" and over the top energy. The last two blows almost took him down too much so she comforts him and builds him up again at the same time as involving the other guests and rounding off the show with a musical finale. Brilliant!
This is so funny. What a Team they made. Such an explosion. And Rue is so lovely and wonderful. Robin Williams, to my knowledge the only one ever who actually managed to take over, leave her speechless AND being funny. That takes a lot! This silly polonaise at the end... 🙈😂 Thank you so much.
Dame Edna, the funniest comedy character ever created and sustained. Barry got better and better as Edna, his wit never weakened. Edna conquered our hearts. Bless Barry Humphries. So damn talented.
I am a MASSIVE Robin Williams fan; have been since MnM in the late 70's. I've watched nearly every video on youtube w/ Robin. And then I saw this tonight. Great stuff.
I have never seen Dame Edna flumixed! 🙃🙃🙃 Love Robin Williams! ☺☺☺ Dame Edna Show brought in all the BIG stars of that era. May Barry Humphries rest in peace. Thank You Berry 💖
Only Barry Humphries could match Robin Williams on stage. He facilitated his act and made it better. Both genius in their own right. RIP Robin Williams

Once Robin Williams calmed down a bit, it was a nice exchange between he and Dame Edna. When she asked him if he has a "moment of stillness," it sounded strange hearing it now.
Dame Edna is so talented and quick witted. Love watching her. Especially with two of my other favourite people. The way they clearly liked each other and enjoyed working together was obvious. Particularly loved them all singing together. We have no comedy any more! All we get now is boring documenteries and documentaries where celebrities that I have never heard of are either on ice in a jungle or on an island. They are all sponsored by some old crap with four million adverts to get through. Quite honestly I couldn't care if these celebrities were torn to shreds by mountain lions! Great to have a laugh thanks for uploading this!

His energy on stage was incredible. When you consider he'd do a matinee and then an evening performance, it's hard to believe anybody could achieve that level for two long shows a day.
There are not many (any?) people who could take over Dame Edna's Show. Edna did well to wrestle control back, claiming Robin had been trying to get on the show for ages. This is amazing comedy.
totally agree. usually dame edna is such a towering talent and presence that she takes over other people's shows. this is the only time I've seen someone take over hers! williams was so larger than life. He was like a tex avery cartoon character made flesh.
I was really impressed with the way Humphries handled Robin Williams, because both of their styles of humor demanded that they be in total control of the moment, especially Williams. He (or rather her, ha!) graciously gave Williams the stage at the same time never letting anyone forget who was in control. That was the one thing about Williams that I totally disliked. His absolute need to totally take over the stage from everyone else. Ruining the timing and confidence of other comics. He demanded that everyone become his audience. Edna never lost a step and certainly didn't become part of his audience
What a time when tv was made with passion. How funny Dame Edna trying to bring Robin Williams back down to Earth not yet realising that this very situation became the ideal celebrity interview for any aspiring TV host and that losing control of your own show to this man would one day be considered an honour and a privilege. I'm an Australian but unfortunately only old enough to have Hey Hey It's Saturday as the closest thing I would get to this 😢.
It would have been fantastic if Robin came out as Mrs Doubtfire. Barry Humphrey's Dame Edna meets Robin William's Mrs Doubtfire. That could have been the most epic encounter ever
What a sensitive and intelligent person Dame Edna was. She was aware of Williams' great mental struggles. They liked each other, you can see and, much more, feel it.
The "Don't let her sing again" is a very "IN" joke especially for a pre-internet time. Ringo knew what he meant but not many others would have until the videos appeared on TH-cam isolating Linda's vocals on Hey Jude live performance.
Love this man. Fabulous actor and comedian. Not forgetting the others too. I was very disappointed to see this global legend placed at the exit at Madame Tussaud’s all on his own.

I've grown to find him annoying unless its a film role i don't find him funny.
Seeing Robin with Dame Edna was priceless. Nobody could really control Robin but they absolutely loved him.
I'm guessing he probably loved this appearance, hope so anyway ❤

They were great. What will we do now? Look for the anarchic comedians that are out there today.

I don't think I've ever seen Robin WIlliams laugh as much in an interview. Separately, they were comedic titans, but together they are magic.

I slipped and got here. I freaking love it. Laughing is what I love and he made it happen God Bless him/ her
This is one of the few times where Dame Edna looks to be the most grounded in reality.
And thats saying something.
Love this. Icing on the cake with Ringo at the end.

4:46 is the best part, How often did Robin Williams go on a show and have someone actually make him laugh out loud? Not often.
watch him with craig ferguson
"The dead megastar society" Sadly now true... The world will never be quite so happy again.
So sad that these four are no longer with us. They brought so much laughter and enjoyment to so many and I fear we will never see the likes again.
Their comedy styles are chalk and cheese - both brilliant, but grating together. Fascinating watching them negotiate each other.
Thanks for the joy!

I agree, as funny as Robin Williams was, he did tend to go overboard at times.
I think that taking control of the stage, is a typical, American trait.
