I barely even remember seeing Madam as a kid, I was born at the very end of her days… but I too am here from Drag Race to see that Raja did an exact impression of Madam. Nice!
All the jokes about Rock Hudson in this sketch was so prophetic. Kind of like Hollywood's way of telling the world without telling the world. I do miss comedy like this.
Loved Bea Arthur in Maude and then the Golden Girls. All ways had a huge crush for Rock Hudson loved him in GIANT I wonder if he made me gay…. I sure would let him take advantage of me….so political incorrect..lol God Bless them both. Cheers 🇨🇦
If you get a chance check out the orignal match game. Betty white, Charles Nelson Reilly, Brett Sommer and Fannie Flag make that show pretty damn funny
Meeting Wayland and Madame backstage at the Roxy theater those many years ago is one of many highlights in my life. I have a photograph with them both and myself. Good times indeed.
Bea Arthur, Kathleen Turner, Natasha Lyonne, and Lucille Ball near her end - have a tv show together in my fantasy. Toni Braxton does the theme song. Feel free to cast your own deep-voiced actresses.
1:58 "Your not going to grab Rock Hudson's gusto on my show" i feel like thats peak Bea Arthur, her ability to make being a sobering and serious person funny is truly unique. Her ability to elevate and accentuate other peoples humor while also being funny is the kind of dynamic craft of comedy that is rare these days.
@@Moebian73 Oh, forgot about Lady Elaine. Yes, she was on the same disturbing level as Madame, but nowhere near as funny. Which was worse to me and confusing. As a kid I wondered why Elaine looked so harsh and wasn't out to cook kids in a cauldron inside her hut, or be insanely funny and fabulous. 😋
I just realised something. On Drag Race Raja played Madam on Snatch Game (AS7), and his friend Raven payed Bea Arthur many years ago in an early series of RPDR (AS1).
@@pr3ttyb0ydlgjaja I agree... I must admit that I didnt like Trinity much in the previous season but this season she is blowing me away with her personality. I wont mind if she wins. My Top 4: Shea, Jinx, Trinity, Raja... always been a Roger fan... haha...
It popped up after I watched Raja do Madame the other night on Rupaul. 😆 I watch Bea every night on Maude Antenna TV. This is great! And Raja you should have won on your Qualudes!! Ba ha ha
You could tell that Bea was angry with Madame for being so disingenuous. Madame and Rock Hudson knew each other back in the fifties. They used to be seen together at The Brown Derby, and questions remain as to which one was the Beard.
I’m so confused but I wasn’t born until ‘74. Are you referring to the actual woman that did Madame? Or are you saying Rock Hudson carried a puppet around?
@@jak30341 I'm not sure if he actually carried her around, but they were often seen hip-to-hip at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, The Brown Derby, and Mister Debbie's Oyster Shuck.
Being the old fart that I am watched both of these wondrous performers then. When Raja’s turn came to be shown I yelled ‘Madame!’ What a treat! I wonder, did Madame have the last fling with Rock that did him in..? Teehee 🙃🙏🏻❤️
The part where Madame says: "if he dies, he dies." Wouldn't that have been more appropriate coming from Rose Nylund? C'mon all you fellow Golden Girls fans know what I'm talking about
Like many, I am here because of Raja. However, I had remembered seeing images of Madame as a kid, but without knowing who she was. I adore Bea Arthur so I'm glad that these two queens got together to sling shade
Bea had such an impeccable sense of comic timing. She really was a unique talent.
You can see her trying not to laugh when Madame tossed her sunglasses XD
Those are her summer diamonds...
Summer diamonds...and summer not.
How is this comment two weeks old?!
Lmfao
@@peteradaniel weird
@@peteradaniel drag race producer
@@peteradaniel Its an old joke. Raja didn't make it up lol Jaymes Mansfield made the same joke on Drag Race.
I'm here because of Raja. And I'm so pleased!
I’m so glad Raja’s excellent performance is introducing people to cool old camp!
Me too!
and Yvie did Bea Arthur in the ball challenge AS7
I barely even remember seeing Madam as a kid, I was born at the very end of her days… but I too am here from Drag Race to see that Raja did an exact impression of Madam. Nice!
Very much so
Who’s here after Raja’s fabulous performance as Madame on the snatch game 😍
Raja Gemini channeled Madame from the after life!
Didn't even have to hunt for it, the algorithm loves me.
Me 🙋🏾♀️
Madam died???? She is still out there.... dont say it is so. Wayland... well Madam can be heard to work with.... he was a good man🤪
We all are
All the jokes about Rock Hudson in this sketch was so prophetic. Kind of like Hollywood's way of telling the world without telling the world. I do miss comedy like this.
Kinda like family guy when ya think of it
My thoughts exactly
My husband said Madame was not the wood Rock was interested in. I told him he was going to hell but laughed...
“Beauty is skin deep but ugly is to the bone!”. Come through Madame🤣🙏🏼✨⚖️💜
"Isn't there an age problem with you and Rock?"
*Pointed Silence*
"If he dies, he dies!"
Literally made me cackle!
“He would never, ever, take advantage of a woman.” I guess Bea really WAS a “good” friend of Rock Hudson…
Too funny!
yup.. that joke was loaded... lol those who knew, knew...
And tragically, Waylon Flowers died of AIDS a few years after Rock Hudson
LOL

Rock was freaking gorgeous, the episode of I Love Lucy he was on 😍
Bea and Madame are so timeless. Truly hidden gems.
Haha Bea Arthur has such a genuine way of making us laugh. Even with Madame, she can roll with the best of them!! lol
This feels like an alternate universe version of Unhhhh
😆😂😂😂
Now, the main question is
Who's who
@@luanllluan I think Madame would be the Katya, but not 💯 on that 🧐
@@luanllluan who would play her 🤣💀
I think Madame is a split down the middle--Katya's glamour, and Trixie's humor/shade
“I have very little to say about sex.....yes, Where and when” ok me
I’m only here because of Drag Race and I’m so glad Raja introduced me to Madame, I’m obsessed 😩😂💅🏾.
If you get a chance check out the orignal match game.

Madame is the inspiration behind Bianca's persona.
Del Río? Elaborate
@@georgieorgy5589 no shit sherlock are you dumb?
@@georgieorgy5589 yes.
Oh, really?
'If he dies, he dies!' Now that's confidence

Why is this recommended to me after watching drag race?? Goddamit fbi
Bea was right: Rock Hudson would never take advantage of a woman. Truer words have seldom been spoken.
MAWMA... I'm dead 💀💀💀
Was looking to see if this joke had already been made
So original
(Sophia voice) He's gayer than a picnic basket
Raja brought me here
“Yes, when and where!” Mood! 🔥
The way Bea is channeling Dorothy Zbornak's sarcasm 💖 Love her so much
That's Bea's sarcasm.
Bea Arthur, Kathleen Turner, Natasha Lyonne, and Lucille Ball near her end - have a tv show together in my fantasy. Toni Braxton does the theme song. Feel free to cast your own deep-voiced actresses.
Natasha Lyonne doesn't have a deep voice, it's just raspy.
Brenda Vaccarro
@Anonny Anonymous Suzanne Pleshette perhaps?
Lauren Bacall

I love the friendly shade between the two legendary fierce legends
In all honesty, Bea Arthur was an attractive woman. ❤️
Yes she was. She wasn’t young and girly and “pretty” but she was still a good looking woman.
She was a handsome woman in the best possible way...
I think Bea was a handsome woman. Not in the sense that she was masculine but in the sense that her beauty was bold. I also find her incredibly sexy.
She really was beautiful, strong and funny. I love her hair like this.
Madame freaked me out when I was a kid. It was the way she looked but she was always hilarious.
I had nightmares about her face all the time. She scared the crap out of me until I was around 20
😆 Same here. I found Madame a bit scary and off-putting, but quirkily funny like the Crypt Keeper from Creepshow.
She & Lady Elaine Fairchilde on Mr. Rogers freaked me out as a kid.
@@Moebian73 Oh, forgot about Lady Elaine. Yes, she was on the same disturbing level as Madame, but nowhere near as funny. Which was worse to me and confusing.

I have very little to say about sex. Yes! When? And where? 🤣
Hi other RuPaul fans
I can watch every Madame video and they're never boring
I love Wayland Flowers and Madame and their assorted friends. I knew them briefly.
Two of the greatest…I am so pleased to see them together. Thanks for posting.
hey look it’s raja and yvie oddly
You know, they said Rock Hudson was a Friend of Dorothy. I guess it's really true! lol
Raja and yvie(well half of yvie 😆) are looking good!😝
Rare video of Raja and Yvie Oddly having a conversation
I just realised something. On Drag Race Raja played Madam on Snatch Game (AS7), and his friend Raven payed Bea Arthur many years ago in an early series of RPDR (AS1).
And yvie did a runway blending b Arthur and cardi b
@@pr3ttyb0ydlgjaja see you are following the season... who do you think will take it?
@@sjinzaar trinity or Shea or jinkx

Mercy god are there gay people on here???👀💋
Madam was the only reason I watched Solid Gold!! Gotta love Madam!!
Oh my goodness! I so remember watching Madame when I was a kid in the 70s. Lol... Nostalgia.🥰
Yvie’s runway & Raja’s snatch game come to life
This takes me back when I was a child watching TV with the knobs on it😅😅 memories!
Bea Arthur has always been my favorite!
I have always wished I had her tenacity and joie de vivre!
I hope 🤞🏼 I come back as her in my next life.🥰❤️
I have no idea who Madame is, but I'm dying at the comedic chemistry between these two!
The shade! The shade of it all!
Bea looks absolutely beautiful. Stunning.❤
May Aunt Bea and Wayland Flowers rest peacefully ❤
NOT THIS COMING UP AFTER IT WAS ON DRAG RACE!! RAJA ATE MADAME UP IN THE SNATCH GAME
They weren’t lying about Roc Hudson
It popped up after I watched Raja do Madame the other night on Rupaul. 😆 I watch Bea every night on Maude Antenna TV. This is great! And Raja you should have won on your Qualudes!! Ba ha ha
Perfect combo for comedy 😂 Love this!

@@jak30341 you missed the joke. He’s pretending as if Madame was a real person. He’s playing into the fantasy.
@@jak30341 You are aware, aren’t you, that Madam’s puppeteer was a man?
@@jak30341 madame was operated by a man (wayland flowers) very talented puppeteer
This was on my recommendation probably because of Raja lmao
Didn't know who Madame was until Raja did her in All Star but now I LOVE her
Omg Raja and Yvie look so different 😍
this was from the The Bea Arthur Special 1980 NOT Solid Gold
Why does Madam sound like Miz Cracker?
Madame always reminded me of Bea Arthur
As RuPaul says "everyone loves puppets"
Yvie and Raja were so funny in this
Being the old fart that I am watched both of these wondrous performers then. When Raja’s turn came to be shown I yelled ‘Madame!’ What a treat! I wonder, did Madame have the last fling with Rock that did him in..? Teehee 🙃🙏🏻❤️
Raja and Yvie really had a glow up
Nothing like the most impecable women in TV history! This is precious! And the levels of shaaaaade and T hahahahaha I just can't!
Madame, I hate to sound catty but......you will never be Rock Hudson's type. NEVER!!!
Turms out Rock was way more interested in Wayland.
😆
(And this isn’t funny … but they both died the same way)
So you’re familiar with something up an ass? Oh boy!
I didn't know that Bea Arthur worked with Estella Getty before _The Golden Girls..._ 🤔
I didn't realize I wanted this so badly until I saw the thumbnail.
the way she tossed them sunglasses
“If he dies, he dies” 😭💀
Raja, the most fabulous drag queen ever, brought me here!
I love Bea and Raja
I still haven't gotten over John Wayne showing up on an episode of Maude.
The part where Madame says: "if he dies, he dies." Wouldn't that have been more appropriate coming from Rose Nylund? C'mon all you fellow Golden Girls fans know what I'm talking about
that puppet still haunts my dreams
Not me but she used to when I was 6 at that time
Raja and Yvie never looked better!
Raja and Jackie beat you mean!
I remember watching her Madame back in the early 80's oh man classic
Miss the first season of Toot it or Boot it.
I just realised that this character inspired Rajas drag in general. I can see her in this.
So that's where "if he dies, he dies" comes from 😌
that last exchange was coded about rock hudson's sexuality lol
No, I don’t believe Beatrice Arthur was that catty. It was just dialogue pointing up how much of a gentleman he was towards women.
This wasn't from Solid Gold. it was from Bea Arthur's television special from 1980
That Rock Hudson joke did not age well 😬 (obvi they couldn't have known that; the whole skit is funny lol)
Love how she tossed her glasses right on the floor and didn't care...lol!
Rock would have wanted nothing to do with you, Madame...😏
Rock Hudson : ' isn't there an age problem with you two? ' ''What if he dies, he dies! '' ooh ee ah oh. yikes. Gurl.
"Rock would never EVER take advantage of a woman" SHADE
I just found out today that Madame was voiced by a guy.....😳
this episode of All Stars 7 looks crazy
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
These actresses with their face-lifts These days, looks like Madame
Wow who came first? Raja or Madame? Well the truth is neither have been seen in the same room together….
Bea was so pretty.
OMG It's Alexis Michelle and Raja
R.I.P. Beatrice Arthur
When she took off the glasses lol
Like many, I am here because of Raja. However, I had remembered seeing images of Madame as a kid, but without knowing who she was. I adore Bea Arthur so I'm glad that these two queens got together to sling shade
Everybody came here for Raja's Snatch Game but I came here for Yvie's Before and After
Raja just introduced me to this amazing character!! I love Madame!!
Raja and Yive
Madame looked way better than Bea Arthur 😂
Miss you Bea
I'm on Raja's train
