Some of the funniest stuff is from Taxi, where they hired Andy’s alter ego Tony Clifton but Andy made part of the contract that they could never be treated as the same person.

Listening to Danny Devito and some of the crew talk about how confusing Andy made things was hilarious.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

He never once told a joke. He was a song and dance man.

[LukeL]

The cocaine cookie episode was great.

[nickcarraway]

Will he be there in person for the ceremony?

[Ciaphas Cain]

If THIS doesn’t bring Andy out of hiding, nothing will.

[telescope115]

He died in 1984, of lung cancer, according to IMDB.

[Rennes Templar]

This is his better Elvis impersonation. Amazing.

“Now Andy did you hear about this one?”

[ansel12]

I watched 3 Andy Kaufmann movies one day on a VCR and the new girlfriend with me swore it wasn’t driving her nuts and she pretended it was all just fine.

An interview with Kaufman's writing partner Bob Zmuda, who claims that he conspired to help Kaufman fake his own death.

It's enough to make one wonder...

The other day I was watching some Norm McDonald clips from his days on SNL's Weekend Update in the 1990's and laughed my butt off.

Awesome screen name! I had a printout of that verse hanging in my office cube decades ago when I worked at a university. That was back when they'd get mad enough to argue but not destroy your life.

He might be on a beach somewhere with John McAfee.

He once did a stand-up bit where he opened a book, I forgot the name of it, but it was one of those War and Peace type books, and told the audience he was going to read from it. The audience laughed, and then Kaufman literally started reading from the book and the audience started booing. Yeah, he was a bizarre comedian. Jim Carrey nailed him though in the biopic and should have won the Oscar.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Maybe Tony Clifton will be there instead.
