How much do I love Dame Edna Everage? I paid to see "her" stage show twice, even though the act was substantially similar both times. I won't even pay $10 to see my favorite movies a second time.
So I totally had to fire up MalcoVision when she was on Jay Leno last night.
As usual, Jay was completely ancillary to anything funny that was happening around him.
We didn't get to hear anything about her unmarried son Kenny, who lives in the Castro (which Dame Edna assumes to be the "Cuban ghetto") or about her dog-breeding, lesbian daughter Valmai (who lives near wherever Dame Edna happens to be performing).
The real reason for her appearance was to promote her shows at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas and her impending nine-city American tour. But more interesting was watching her pitch some serious woo the way of former NFLer Terry Bradshaw.
She thought that he was perhaps "aroused" and went in to check for herself, but Terry proved that he still had some of the spry quarterback in him.
Enjoy the clip, possums!

I LOVE DAME EDNA!
Did she mention Sam Champion?

what a class act. i've loved Dame Edna for many years. she embodies the best qualities of the fiercest drag queens. Notice how she barely recognizes Jay's presence at all, and has complete control of the camera from the moment she steps onto the stage. absolutely flawless. great Malco-Vision!

Yes, I heard it was more than that.;)
Dame Edna is NOT a drag queen. The nerve!

Dame Edna is such a trendsetter. Have you noticed that the Pope is now following her fashion lead. Long live Edna! Dame of all taste that is good!
Aatom, I'm afraid Hank is quite right to scold you. It is not Dame Edna who is a drag queen. It's Laura and Barbara Bush.

I think I get the look that Laura is going for..."Ashlyish", but Barbaras' escapes me.

Our "adopted" treasure.
I was at a small party and Dame Edna showed up after her show, still in full "character"...shall we say.
She did 30 minutes "off the cuff" for twenty people. It was drop dead funny. Stuff she could NEVER say on Broadway;)

Hank, Barbara Bush would have been one of the original Golden Girls, but the producers found out that she has a big old dick (and George too).
