Any Andy Kaufman fans here?


what are your favourite bits?

reply

I liked him in Taxi.

reply

No not at all.

The only thing he did that made me laugh was his very first SNL sketch (Mighty Mouse). It was the first time I ever saw him. Nothing he did subsequently was any good, IMO.

I think his early death made him out to be more than he was. By the time he passed (1984 I believe) he wasn't even on the radar. Eddie Murphy completely dominated the comedy scene at that point. Kaufman and his humor were invisible by then.

I enjoy Kaufmann on TAXI which made alot of Stars on that show.. I'd also say his feud with Jerry the King Lawler was memorable

reply

He only used that show as a paycheck to finance his stage shows

reply

He pioneered Inter-Gender Wrestling.
