  • Zmuda fooled Letterman & Leno

  • my dick has better video quality

  • Damn, I wish Andy lived during the age of digital media.

  • No one who is famous is a person, its only an image of what they allow us to see and perceive as a person, merely a persona. Tony Clifton is a persona that is not limited to only one person, but many, so that he may live on for ever, long after Kaufman died.

  • @caseyface3 no, that is not Bob Zmuda. The one and only, the legendary Tony Clifton.

  • that is not andy kaufman it is bob zmuda

  • Wouldnt it be soooo kool to see Tony Clifton compete on American Idol?

  • Brilliant.

    

  • Aww no audio? I can't hear a thing!

  • Fantastic! The lousy VHS tracking is part of the show! Isn't it??? Well, it should be...

  • there can be only one Tony Clifton, Thats for sure very UNIQUE singing talent

  • that's bob zmuda!

  • Tony has real talent! Its a shame that hack Kaufman did his cheap imitation and tarnished Tony's image.

  • @famapublica lol

  • I always wanted to see Tony live, I just wouldn't want to sit in the first couple rows. I'm not sure I could handle his abusive ad-libs. One more thing, dude if you’re going to record off the TV, fix the damn tracking on the VCR!

  • f-in genious!!!

  • fin awesome!!! true genious!!

  • All of their stage persona was stolen from this architect of charisma..........

  • fani

  • Man i can still remember my honey-moon in Vegas in 67' like it was yesterday, Seen Tony Clifton, the mummys cheaters and liars burning cigars while hookers tried to make money off of married bored men at the bar, it was then i knew I was in love ,Yeah Tony

  • Tony Clifton taught Andy Kaufman and Bob Zmuda everything about the business. All the ins and outs. And they used Mr. Clifton to go places and to get all the little chickies. They used him like a used rag! and backstabbed him and tried to ruin his reputation and his career.

  • You're joking, right?

  • @demongov You're right. I heard that before Kaufman died he owed Tony a lot of money and back royalties.

  • I love this character... pure genius between Kaufman and Zmuda.

  • Bob Zmuda said this was himself

  • Bob Zmuda couldn't even clean Tony Clifton's shoes !

    And you tell him I said that.

    Andy Kaufman couldn't even mop the floors for Tony Clifton!

  • Andy. Watch body language. He was still alive when this was filmed.

  • I'VE GOTTA BE ME!!

  • It's Zmuda you can tell by the mouth and teeth.

  • That's Complete Fabrication on your part.

  • thankyou!

  • Yep, that's Zmuda, you can tell from his voice.

    Zmuda was sort've slack with his voice changes for Tony, but then again, nobody could do it as good as Andy Could...

    Thanks for the upload!!

    Love<3

  • except the real Tony Clifton. Tony Clifton is a real person.

  • Why do some people pronounce Kaufman "Kalfman" ??

  • cos that's how it's pronounced.

  • zmuda

  • pretty sure that is zmuda.brilliant

  • k ty 4 the share

  • Absolute classic 5*

  • They just don't make talent like they used to...  :-)

  • What year was this? I remember seeing this when I was like 10 years old, and totally thinking "who is that crazy guy?"

  • Comment removed

  • i love the volare!!!!!!!!!

  • This is not Andy Kaufman; it is his friend Bob Zmuda. Check out his mouth and teeth, which you can't fake.

  • "Kaufman is using my name to get places" LOL

  • sheer classic clifton!

  • RIP Andy Kaufman

    NOT "Cowffman", wtf Letterman?

  • Andy pronounces his own name like that. That is the main way and correct way to say it. Of course, people like you & Bob Zmuda say COUGHman. You can keep saying that way. He used to answer to both anyway. Relax.

  • Tony Clifton Rulz

  • i just found my halloween costume

  • mine too.

  • lolz

  • I can't believe people can't tell the difference between Andy's "Tony" & Bob's "Tony". It's so obvious. Just watch them back to back....

  • Being a comedian is easy, being a comic artist where you just want to effect people and cause something that they may appreciate , they may not but they'll remember, takes real balls.

  • genius!

  • Nope. Scratch that. It's definitely Zmuda.

    And now I will be quiet. Sorry!

  • It's either Zmuda, or Kaufman with a nose piece.

    Anyway, it's fabulous! Thank you for posting this. :)

  • Sorry, I meant the other way around. It's either Zmuda with a nose piece (!)... or Kaufman.

    I blame the late hour for my confusion. ;)

  • Zmuda was a better Clifton than Kaufman.

  • I thought that Kaufman created the character but only did it once or twice, and Zmuda did it much more of the time.

  • yeah that is true.

  • kaufman invented it.

  • I agree. Kaufman was definitely the genius, but Zmuda has Clifton nailed.

  • The man was the total package- rhyming skills, sex appeal, the voice of an angel and some of the most electrifying dance moves in the history of show business. They don't make them like this anymore, folks.

  • It's easy to tell Kaufman from Zmuda. They have totally different voices, and their noses are also much different.

  • according to Zmuda's book, this is Zmuda and Letterman is convinced that it's Kaufman.

  • well, he can say anything! you know what lying bastards they are. but funny! =P

  • Definitely Zmuda,still priceless!

  • "Who got the cheese?" Thanks for posting.

  • TONY CLIFTON FOR PRESIDENT!! Thanks for posting this......

  • Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Elvis Presley, and Tom Jones cannot begin to compete with this true legend! Thanks for posting!

  • Tony Clifton is a pimp!

  • whoopy do whoopy dee eye. Mr McGuy ..

  • Holy shit! The legendary "See it, be it, me it" clip. THANKS for posting this.

  • Is this bob or andy?

  • It's Bob, Andy had a higher voice.

  • Zmuda

  • Fucking awesome! Nice old school vhs - thanks for posting.
