ANDY KAUFMAN Death House

[@allisonmarlow184]

Thanks for this vlog. I saw Andy when he originally did his Mighty Mouse routine, and I was immediately sold. RIP, Andy.

[@windsong8098]

Me too at Improvisation in NYC.

[@KenVanTassell]

Hey Jordan, Have you ever thought of giving small group tours ? It would be amazing to come to L.A. and have you show us around !

[@susanfaulkner2304]

The house is such a sweet place and well kept. "Latka Gravis" I believe was his characters name on "Taxi".😊Thanks!

[@LindaLinda-co8yh]

OMG! I loved him on Taxi!!! He was hallarious.

[@MrHeadbanger366]

I believe faking his death is the kind of thing Andy Kaufman would've done, but I don't believe that he did.

[@bonniebrown6960]

I remember when that happens on the David Letterman show . Just the Elivs Conspiracy . You never know ..!! I remember watching him on Saturday night live and Taxi . But the Elivs impersonator was the greatest . Elivs , said you better get it right boy...!! And he laughed !! 😂 Great vlog . Glad I found it !!

[@robertcarly9183]

Even when Andy became famous he still worked 1 day a week at Jerry's Deli in Studio City.

[@dirtysanchez941]

I remember that. I am from Studio City, and we used to see him working. I never tried to bother him. Some did. Poor guy, I miss him.

[@BustyBeaver]

@@dirtysanchez941 thats awesome that u saw him

[@janemorgan358]

Thank you Jordan.I am a recent fan so I am going in the way back machine to visit your older vlogs. You entertain and educate me. Thank you for all of the effort you put into your work.

[@dollywilson3395]

Great vlog again, Jordan. Yes, I also read that Elvis thought Andy did a great impersonation of him. I hope if Andy IS still alive that he’s enjoying life somewhere. Thanks for showing me the great views of your city AND the Pacific ocean.

[@susanparker1374]

So nice to see you’re sweet pup.

[@jongrant3185]

Love your videos. Watch them every day!😀😀😀

Love your blogs Jordan, I've been binge watching … I also enjoy seeing your buddy Jah … lost my dog recently and Jah's face cheers me up !

Only Jordan can make a trip to an Autozone very interesting haha. I love this channel XD

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Thanks

[@kathyharitos2535]

You are awesome thank you

[@kahalak8171]

Holy Moly - those large crevices on the trail up to the Observatory are insane! What the heck - the park authority can't fill them and put in something to stop that horrible erosion. Wow. On another note - Thank you for posting. Since I can't travel much myself - it's wonderful to see your great state through your eyes.

[@brucebasil4164]

Excellence again. Can't wait until tomorrow's vlog. Thank you.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Another great posting.....

[@carobinsonrobinson3109]

Hey Jordan!! I absolutely loved Andy💙!

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

Thank you, I have learnt more about this talented man. I enjoyed all the views too.

[@jomama5186]

Love this one! I loved him too ! Thanks Jordan !!!!

[@AZHITW]

For future reference the car pictures were embroidered not crochet. ;) Doilies are crocheted.

[@daisymaefrench4041]

Andy Kaufman was the only person who was born on the same day as myself 01/17/49. No one cares about that except me, I'm sure, but I always remembered him for that. Thank you for your videos. They give me insight into sites I would never have seen. Thank you from Rhode Island. Rest in peace, Andy. You are missed.

[@marciaknight6482]

Just found your channel, love it.

[@chasingdragonflies7691]

Thank you for this one!! I really loved Andy, such a talented man!!

[@leetherockjohnson5376]

Great vlog 👍, learned a lot of facts about Andy I never new of before. Just when Jordan walks up and down streets, along roadways is fantastic because for me it's getting to see America up close in person which is always a bonus. 👌.

[@ExclusiveLM]

If Andy Kaufman is still alive it's the longest lasting prank in the history of the world at this point.

[@BigDogCha]

Andy was the absolute greatest Comedian EVER in my opinion. No one has ever or will ever be in Andy's league. R.I.P. Legend.

[@ernieevans6643]

I like your videos Jordan they are entertaining and they dont give me a headache alot of videos give me a headache but keep up the good work buddy i live in north Carolina and during this pandemic i have watched alot of your stuff

[@RaceIsOpen]

Love your work Jordan. Andy is dead, sad but this legend is gone...🤕

[@treywest268]

What a very nice, and modest home!

[@MsTee7475]

These vlogs are the best. Random walks through Hollywood, never knowing what gem I’ll get to see. How cool ❤️‍🔥😎🥳 Thank you 🍿👏🏻

[@hometowngirl8062]

Thanks for the tour! It's the only way I can go.......lol

[@becomeaudible1]

Taxi was one of the best shows on tv.

[@carolynstewart8465]

Your Good Will car art is embroidery, not crochet. Thought you'd want to know! Good find! Andy is probably still alive! Blessed be, Jordan !

[@prondlee]

Jordan im responding to your #140 vlog (comments were turned off) and im ROFLOL! YES! The damn post office was closed after you walked there! Your reaction was priceless! Amazes me how many holidays they get (and still do lousy work) at our hard working tax dollars expense! My mom used to say if you want anything sent rightly, send it UPS, not USPS!😂Have a great day!

[@MMorbid]

I think Andy is playing a joke on us as we speak. By talking about faking his death, we will ALWAYS wonder if he really died. I think he did actually die, but he set us up so that we will never be sure.

[@carolgillis5265]

Thanks Jordan

[@888AshLi]

Griffith Oberservatory was my most beloved place in L.A. Oh yes... Andy Kaufman was so right: Anything is possible. I've seen it again and again. :)

[@knope2023]

He's one of my favorites too....

[@treywest268]

Thank you so much for this! I first saw Andy on TV on SNL in 1975. I followed him for the rest of his life.

[@marilynbawtinheimer7194]

Great job on your channel thanks for taking us back to the good old days some things we missed or haven’t seen yet , We all enjoy PS for jah they have like a balloon boot for dogs easy to put on check waggers, all the best in the future , Marilyn Teulon Manitoba Ya Canada

[@autocrow]

Relatively modest house for a big celebrity, but probably worth a fortune because of it's location.

[@sunspots6077]

I knew a guy whose older brother wen to college with Kaufman... right about the time he was getting famous he came and spent the weekend... Kaufman could not turn off his act and spent the whole weekend hanging out at their house being crazy

[@missdaisy5736]

Love you and Jau 🙏

[@luquezada1049]

i grew up watching Andy as a kid. He’s from LI, NY originally and buried there too. or is he? 👀

[@chrisstephens5310]

thank you for the great history

[@JudithElizabeth67]

Oh this is amazing! I just saw the movie “ Rebel without a cause “ about 3 weeks ago! Cried my eyes out at the end! Then found out that the actor that played the young kid- died under very mysterious circumstances. And then so did Natalie Wood! I mean the Observatory is iconic , every reality show shows that first glancing over LA! Thank you for another strike of my bucket list! 🙏🏼👼🏼✌🏼🙋🏻

[@JudithElizabeth67]

And cherry 🍒 on top Andy Kaufmann the unique comedy genius! Rest In Peace!

[@melissaonorati3458]

Judith Elizabeth what do you mean?

[@chadmears136]

Cool video Jordan

[@craigcorsini8241]

I’m guessing there’s a certificate of death signed by the coroner verifying the death occurred.

[@BenBarrett1]

Jordan: First time viewer. Found this channel on an Andy Kaufman binge. The way I see it, Andy Kaufman is truly dead. Yes, he said some cryptic things that have led some to believe that he might have faked his death, but that's really where Andy's genius comes in. In normal comedy, the joke is set up with proper timing, delivery and ultimately a punch line that results in laughter, if the joke is done properly. Contrast this with Andy's performances, which often left the uninitiated baffled and confused. Andy was not a person who was big on punch lines. His "apology" for the Fridays incident was played straight, with no discernible punch line at all. He even feigned confusion at everyone's laughter and said that it was in poor taste. Wouldn't it be like him to use his own death to set up the ultimate joke? He leaves a bunch of strange documents behind. He gets his friends and family to feed this line about the gag having a maximum life of 30 years. Then, after the 30 years have come and gone (5 years ago this year), people are waiting and waiting and waiting for him to make a reappearance. They're waiting for a punchline that will never come, because that's what he was good at. As much as it pains me to say it, Andy is dead. He left this world wanting us to always wonder if he was going to resurface some day, because he would have found it all funny as hell.

[@tinaracle-mueller6053]

I like your blogs. There very good. Thank you so much for all your hard work 😊😎😎👍 Peace

[@mattkaustickomments]

Andy’s dead, but while he was ill, he very well could have sworn someone to secrecy to carry out some gags on his behalf after his death.

[@amypieterse3706]

i love your show!!!!

[@rchydrozz751]

As much as I liked Andy, sadly he is gone. I remember Carol Kane, that was his wife or gf on taxi. At the funeral actually poked him with her finger in the casket, to be sure he was dead. She thought for sure it was one of his bits. There's a video of Danny DeVito Talking about that. Like Danny said, Andy would love that we are talking about this, as in fooling everyone until the end.

[@beyondvaudeville]

Not a true story. It was a closed casket. We were there.

[@amandawhitworth2140]

Can y’all just imagine if he is still out there?Walking among the rest of us?Thats so wild to think about🤔

[@jerryweston2311]

I remember when that area outside Hollywood forever where auto zone was mowed grass from one end to the other

[@wildbill5670]

When I saw the sign for Griffith Observatory it immediately made me think of the photo of Jim Morrison on the step of that place.

[@andykaufman8102]

Hello this is Andy yes that was my home and I am alive

[@TinCupChalice40]

George Carlin was SNL first comedian guest. In fact he was on the very first show. Carlin guest hosted opening night for SNL

[@patrickbeck3285]

I really enjoyed the Andy stories. I do remember his being on SNL and the whole wrestling act. SNL had the thing where they voted whether to keep him on the show or not and he lost the vote. He was truly one of a kind.

[@williamhaggard451]

Jim Carrey played Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon bus boy to comedian in the film

[@joannaedwards4504]

Hey didn't Jim Carrey played Andy in a Movie 🎥

yes!

[@sallylouise9826]

Wow so nice to see California so healthy and verdant. It would kill me walking all that way lol. But ive noticed my mobility is getting better slowly. That reminds me I need to get a back wiper for my car . Great vlog as always and yes i think Andy Kaufman faked his death.

[@calebfreeman781]

Hey, I just thought maybe he did fake his death but then later he actually died and we don’t know it . It’s just something I thought of

[@clintrock]

Lol...wonder if that means no upside down parking.lol it's the monotone delivery that makes it.

[@markcall2764]

I thought Andy died in the hospital but that’s still awesome video showing his last home he stayed At before death I always love this stuff you should do videos on famous wrestlers where they lived and died at ❤

[@berthainesguerrabriones2956]

Kaufman sounds like cough-man , maybe a omen

[@treywest268]

Andy didn't smoke or drink. He was a vegetarian too. He also did like performing oral sex. However, Tony Clifton ate steaks and burgers, smoked, drank, and also liked doing that other thing I mentioned. Some psychologists have said that there is a possibility of a real split personality when Tony Clifton was around. A true psychological break.

[@treywest268]

He also got laid a lot with his wrestling. He would be whispering in their ears about what it would be like to sleep with a celebrity. According to Bob Zmuda in his book, they actually had to tape a certain part of Andy's anatomy down for his wrestling shtick as sometimes certain things became noticeable.

Many dead or almost dead pines and cedars (love cedars). Tough going for nature. Who lost their homes in the fires? Lots of critters lost homes and their lives. Andy Kaufman was wild. Can't say I liked the wrestling stuff but all the rest is great? I liked his Elvis impressions more than I ever liked Elvis. I hope he is alive and kicking.
