[Gerald45]

troll lol

[spadecufflinks]

why dosen't he blink? 4:43

[9162vb48]

Really cool.  Assuming your 12.

[zcolez]

ALICE WAS PRETTY SEXY

[hobodeadfish]

Andy Kaufman was/is a genius

[HorrorExaminer]

Not before, and certainly not since, has there ever been a mind like that of Andy Kaufman. The world is a lesser place since we lost Andy.

[klwewf]

Do you have the wrestling match?

[dannyodoul]

Alice, Andy, Merv and Nick,

wow, the gang's all here...

...really looks like a Joe Franklin Show panel...

...So, Nick any Al Jolson stories...

Alice, take my order... A touch a sample...

so, Andy, I mean Tony, are you really alive?

Sincerely,

The Legendary Danny O'Doul

[greedyhips22]

Did he ever reappear as tony clifton?

[muaythaison]

Merv Griffin is an asshole.

[Disturbed123able]

Ha! Was Andy a genius? Of course he was.

[RuinerxxSINCITY]

While we all know Tony Clifton is a real person since obviously Andy couldn't have posted this video a year ago, people should be happy that Andy used his prowess in deception for entertainment, and not strictly for financial gain. His doe-eyed innocent appearance would have enabled him to sell life insurance to a corpse.

[nonfoods1]

Didn't you get fooled? I was a kid and thought Andy went nuts. Saturday night live.

But he could have faked his death, he IS

Jewish afterall. They're hilarious cause they know the father YHWY will quite probably forgive em.

[yaywhewclips242]

I do not remember this and I was a big Merv fan.

[brianfucksguys]

I cherish all of this guys work but I sure wish he would have been around for a little longer.

[sloppyjakekisses]

Nick Nolte and that hair!

[maxpowers3]

the loaded Nick Nolte best part of this!

[cmortell1]

love it

[Jiltedin2007]

How about some wrestling on the show! Namely with Women.

[androsben]

Nick Nolte

[cujagu]

This is driving me crazy, who's the guy with the long hair at 3:52?

[88naka]

@cujagu Thor.

[dwbrcdub]

so brilliant

[JeffRotull43]

Wow, until I read the posts, I was thinking it was Valerie Harper - man, they look similar!

[dasponger]

Jim Carry did so well

[MrsWLeach]

THANK YOU for posting this!!!!!!

[unclesporkums]

Thanks for posting this footage of Andy, I've only read about this interview in "Lost in the Funhouse".

[A2Z83]

"Wjhy don't you ever blink?"

I remember blinking used to be known as a sign that you are lying.

[monzaaddict]

post the wrestling match

[klwewf]

I love the first couple seconds of this (when Merv asks if Tony is showing up). Andy goes, "Tony"? Almost as if he's thinking, "who do you mean? Clifton or the guy that works w/ me on Taxi (T. Danza)?"

[klwewf]

This was awesome! I sort of like how Merv was challenging him-lol But, Andy stuck to it like a champ. Great stuff.

[actionmanrandell]

@klwewf YOU DO REALIZE THAT HE DID KNOW TONY INFACT TONY WAS A CHARACTER HIM AND HIS BEST FRIEND CAME UP WITH

[klwewf]

@actionmanrandell Of course I know that.

[ButterOnCorn]

mistaken identity.... interesting

[pbmachinima]

Wow, that's freaking amazing! Linda Lavin, Merv Griffin... then NICK NOLTE??!?!??! Holy crap! ANd Merv was so hard on Andy, but we all know Andy was a pathological truth teller (cough cough).

[klwewf]

And, I think everyone on that panel (Merv, Linda & Nick) is a fan of Andy's. But, especially Nick.

[tygersflowerz]

"I'd rather wrestle a woman"

Cutie! xD

[scott93257]

@tygersflowerz

Quite honestly I would too :) There are some pretty tough women out there though...I'd probably get my butt kicked LOL...But Ohhhh how I would enjoy it XD

[ALittleBitOfGreen]

[OfficialTonyClifton]

Dec 13, 1979

[ALittleBitOfGreen]

[OfficialTonyClifton]

[Blixzit]

I'd love for Tony to play at my wedding.
