Andy Kaufman on The Dick Van Dyke Show - Christmas

[TrekToons]

I never missed Van Dyke and Company! It had too short a run.

What's amazing about this is that Elvis could have actually seen this! This was 9 months before Elvis died. I read that Andy was one of his personal favorite imitators

[Dreamcube017]

Was that inturruption planned?

[vravon]

Elvis himself called Andy his favourite inpersonator of him. Now you see why. Andy was very talented. Amazing impersonation of The King!

1976

This show had amazing sketches. One was an idea of a sitcom that was shown at progressively later times called, "Hi Honey, I'm Home!". One of the later "time slots" had Van Dyke's wife portrayed as a man.

I remember watching Andy as a teenager at the time I just assumed he was crazy. Now I understand his genuis and laugh at how he fooled me back then.

LATKA!! lol, love him...thx for posting and Happy Holidays!

[Pallindrom27]

Early Genius. I wonder what year this was? I'm assuming that it's PRE-Taxi since the Latka voice is used but Van-Dyke still just refers to him as Andy. Any way you look at it though it's worth it just to see him in action.

[kiely]

this appearance of Kaufman's "Foreign Man" was pre-Latka and Taxi but after his initial SNL appearance (and many years of NYC Improv).

Thank you. This corner of youtube is a bit of ghost town regarding traffic.

Van Dyke returned to comedy in 1976 with the sketch comedy show Van Dyke and Company, which also starred Andy Kaufman and Super Dave Osborne. Despite being cancelled after only three months, the show won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy-Variety Series, beating Saturday Night Live.
