Dame Edna Everage, the gladiola-loving Australian 'housewife,' hosts this talk-show spoof. The self-proclaimed megastar, fond of calling her fans 'possums,' is the alter ego of actor Barry Humphries. Wearing trademark oversized glasses and sequined gown, the comic starred in numerous other TV shows and specials, including 'Dame Edna's Hollywood,' 'Dame Edna Kisses It Better,' 'Dame Edna's Neighbourhood Watch' and 'A Night on Mount Edna.'
