Of all the Barry Humphries clips going viral, none tops this hilarious Dermot O’Leary exchange

Sending our very best wishes to the great Barry Humphries, who is being treated in hospital following complications after hip surgery.

There were no end of messages of goodwill for the comic master behind Barry Humphries and Sir Les Patterson on Twitter, such as this from Adam Hills.

Barry Humphries is one of the most important forces in Australian Comedy. None of us would be where we are without him blazing a trail for us all to follow. I’m crossing my fingers and whatever toes I have for a speedy recovery.

Sending my best wishes to Barry Humphries. Barry's timing has always been astonishing. Here's Dame Edna Everage effortlessly turning Martin Sheen into a giggling mess.
Get well soon, Barry. pic.twitter.com/0NlcWVrZIx

A special moment and a HUGE laugh. A Yorkshirewoman, by the way, was some kind of gay naval term that only Barry would know that ted Heath would know too. Another side of that myseterious infinite @Barry_Humphries genius. pic.twitter.com/SlmBqWSnlW
