I love when she had one of the Gabors or some slightly obscure French actress, one who spoke English only as a second language, and read her in some way then said shit eating grinningly "I hope it loses something in the translation."
or when she had Sean Connery on and very pathetically and simperingly requests gently that he tell her about the trials of his humble beginnings as a poor child growing up and as soon as he begins to answer her she "falls asleep" and begins snoring
and then there's that first episode where her hand is trembling over the "guest eject" lever the whole time the guest is talkin and Dame is grimacing at the ready to give the guy the boot
It's just funny to think of this old Aussie Dame plucked from her domestic life and plunked down into the role of celebrity journalist and she's so
My favorite was the time she was on Letterman (or Leno) about 13 years ago and Billie Jean King and Elton John were sitting there with her, also being interviewed. At one point she said "My gynecologist told me, 'Edna, you give too much.' And you know? I think I do!"
Elton and Billie Jean almost fell out of their chairs.
I liked Madge Allsop, Edna's down trodden bridesmaid from New Zealand who sat in a drug induced trance beside her. The badge Madge the badge! Awww bless her.
She said that she climbed up Brokeback Mountain and crawled onto Ledger Knob. "I crept out to the very tip, possums, then slid down into Gyllenhall Ravine."
And has everyone seen her alter ego, Sir Les Patterson, slobbering, drunk, belching and cutting farts?
