The Passion of Andy Kaufman: Friday's Opening & Thank You

submitted by Trancecoach

1 decade 6 years 9 months 1 week ago

Here is a PART of the 2.5 hour print of my tribute film to the legendary Andy Kaufman, which contains ultrarare footage of his GREATEST TV ... all STUNTS. The entire documentary is available on youtube, including:

Andy's uncensored and infamous appearances on the DAVID LETTERMAN shows (morning and night), including his realistic portrayals of a homeless man (begging the puzzled audience for change), and the slap from Jerry Lawler heard 'round the world

Both of his controversial FRIDAYS appearances (with Michael Richards getting a face full of water and Andy subsequently finding Jesus)

The rarely seen BANANAZ appearance (as Andy destroys a kid's cable show with Bob Zmuda's eager help)

The 1981 CATCH A RISING STAR appearance on HBO (where he is heckled mercilessly by audience plant Zmuda, who almost ends up getting shot on camera for it)

"Baji Kimran" on the DATING GAME

A hilarious PUBLIC ACCESS TV appearance

Wrestling on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE (and losing the popular vote from the audience as to whether he should be permanently banned from the show)

Frederick Astor's LINCOLN footage

DEATH BY DEODATO

Be sure to also read Andy and Bob's "lost" screenplay, THE TONY CLIFTON STORY, now available as a FREE download on my Subterranean Cinema website! (subcin.com) Contact me by email to inquire about obtaining rare Andy footage from my vault on DVD disc.

Thank you veddy much for all of the great and positive feedback Ive gotten from my fellow A.K. fans for this film in the 3 years since I first created it ... enjoy all! :)

LONG LIVE THE LEGACY OF ANDY and TONY!

is the psycho-geneticsist and the SNL referee the same guy?

Moving this video to Trancecoach's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

*beg - nevermind, guess I can't beg for other user's material, too bad

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter Trancecoach.

Is this video not playing at all? Mine doesn't do anything.

Thanks, ant. Google Video has REMOVED The Passion of Andy Kaufman from their server, so the video is no longer available online. If it is replaced or just temporarily unavailable, I'll replace the embed code and requeue it. In the meantime, you can still watch the entire 2.5 hour film through THIS link (link opens a 1.5 GB MPG).
