Andy's Funhouse pt5

[flyingwombatperson]

The sexual tension between Howdy Doody and Kaufman is unbearable

[onehotmama52406]

I wanted to cry when Howdy Doody came on. Why can't tv shows still teach our children good morals like they did back than.

This show was originally 90 minutes. It aired opposite the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and beat him in the ratings. There was another song sung by Gail that was cut when the special was aired in primetime in it's 60 minute format. Does anyone know where to find that other song?

1.38-1.39 - like the confused/ dismissive look on Andy's face...what a star..

[LTGMF]

where did you get the dvd of this? i can't find it anywhere

[vellisper]

LOL!! @2:29

[joemols]

You know what else I wanted to do to you Howdy? I'll tell you later tonight after a couple drinks.

[waynealarsen]

is that not his ex girl friend Boosler?

[burtihal]

Nope, not Boosler. It's Gail Slobodkin

[waynealarsen]

@burtihal

is it really his ex girlfriend?

[burtihal]

@waynealarsen Elayne Boosler dated him for a while. Gail Slobodkin never dated him, but they knew each other from the Improv and she worked a lot in his sketches. They were friends.

andy kaufman is one of the most clever person I've ever seen, and obviously he wasn't (and he isn't)understood...

[ALittleBitOfGreen]

so sad that he was often misunderstood..

great entertainer!

[wingedhamham]

Yeah...the Howdy Doody thing always makes me wanna cry...

[rzrb617]

Wow the Howdy Doody segment was actually really sweet

[024yeknom]

Rob Zmuda's so funny

[klwewf]

That's why Andy gave him a job. Andy was quite a visionary.
