Banned from television........ridiculous. You can tell this was a long time ago, in a more conservative time. Today they make stars out of people like this. They actually ENCOURAGE assholes to get into fights on reality shows and whatnot.

p.s. Not that I'm implying Andy is an asshole. ;-) (Far from it, actually!)

But he played a great one on TV sometimes. ;-)

Is anyone else surprised how well he could sing?

Genius.......only Andy!

If he had lived he would be an old man now. And most of you would deride him as an old man, and not care to look at what he did in his past and how he was so innovative. There are a lot of old people around that most folks just see as old, and cannot see the young person that still resides in the worn out body. By dying tragically young, it ensured that everyone would have to remember Andy Kaufman at his peak. Both a shame and a gift. RIP Andy Kaufman. Wish you were here.

The most fearless man in TV history.

The weirdest and best thing I have ever seen on Letterman. Or anyone. I wish we could see this man nowadays- we need the surreal to counterbalance this dark world.

only a master could swallow a sword then sing a song...incredible!!!!

[SIMKINETICS]

Amazing voice, right on pitch for every note. And then there’s Andy’s avante garde humor! He was a talented reverse chameleon; changing his colors to stand out rather than to blend in. One of a kind & gone.

[AndreDarkAngel]

He looks TOTALLY like Krist Novoselic from Nirvana. Watch some Nirvana stuff, old interviews etc., they're like brothers o_O

Oh yes, "reality shows", where scripted fights for the viewer is called entertainment is a great example of TV at its finest. We've really come a long way. And by the way, it's liberals who like to label anything and everything an offense to some group of people, that needs to be censored or completely deleted. You obviously have no idea how many shows have been chopped in recent times.
