Andy Kaufman - the Mike Douglas Show - 1/2

[@bababooey2024]

Wish they included that beautiful TCR bar in television now a days. I only watched this video because it included it.

[@jcenadude]

Andy is the smartest comic ever to have lived, he was way before his time and had he been doing these performances today, he would still be before his time.

[@lego4271]

He'd be canceled today. He set the groundwork for something special. He wouldn't be the same if he was around today. He came at just the right time... He just came to early for you and me because we didn't get to fully experience him in all his glory while he was alive

[@809Ollie]

this was hilarious had me in stitches so funny clever and quick witted

[@JJLewis-so1iq]

Mike Douglas to boot! I loved his show

[@JJLewis-so1iq]

I remember this show

[@Gnillob802]

Here's some real wild trivia. This is 1976. The woman is Bernadette Peters whom Andy Kaufman would co-star in HEARTBEEPS five years later.

*if only there was a way to be reminded of how long this runs...*

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

shame about the bar across the middle but i freakin love andy kaufman

[@evhvariac2]

The bar is part of the act

[@shanustheanus]

Even Sacha Baron Cohen realises that Kaufman is in a different league. However I would be lying if I said Borat didn't make me laugh. But Borat and Bruno and Ali G is all broad comedy, Kaufman really thought out his characters.

[@Worldofbubba]

shanustheanus Andy started it all. No doubt about it.

[@TheMetatron333]

They are about in the same league, but Andy was pioneering.

[@rahan9886]

Where is part two?

[@barrypotter5751]

There's probably a copy of this without the tcr bar this is from the original master this has been done deliberate so it can't be bootlegged

[@LeFruFru]

lol yeah thats what I was thinking too

[@dandiacal]

The film Kaufman is talking about here is called Alice Sweet Alice.

[@captainpungent]

I think it's actually 'Carrie'

[@40colby]

The original Borat.

[@NevilleStyke]

Got a feeling Mike Douglas may be sporting a syrup.

[@7beers]

Is that Bernadette Peters? Yummy!

[@BayviewFinch]

He looks like the bass player from Nirvana.

[@TheMetatron333]

BayviewFinch lead singer of Reel Big Fish

[@tabber87]

Yeah, but which is more profound; heaven or hell?

[@mrpoontastic9941]

jajajajaja

[@misterhiden54]

@jericho100008 well said

[@JJLewis-so1iq]

And Bernadette peters!

[@fleischpudding]

so maybe its true that he didnt die after all

[@Itemtotem]

always a jsilence418 in every group.....hatin on someone whose intellect is superior.

[@carlosdaison9439]

TCR???????????????????

[@jeffclaterbaugh567]

Desd

[@mcschoep56]

Very fucked up video!!

[@nonoo]

Sorry, but this bit is pretty boring to be fair.

[@jsilence418]

andy kaufman apart from some taxi episodes ,overrated, and unfunny.

[@ZippityDoDay]

jsilence418 I agree. He demonstrated a serious lack of fresh ideas.

[@TheMetatron333]

Idk man, 100% commitment to a character, Will Ferrell/Sasha Baren Cohen level. Watch him on the dating game. Or letterman.

[@zippyoffrainbow8174]

That’s the point 😂
