Okay I will! Thanks for watching!

That's awesome!! Good luck!

@@showbizhistory tysm!

I think he would have liked that maybe.

He was better than Andy Kaufman for being a Dadaist personage..

my guy, you just saved yourself 5 minutes and 55 seconds.

He made more than you 😂

It's been proven and I doubt you are a Phoenix how it's actually spelled lil girl

It’s the lyric to the song about Andy Kaufman by REM 😂😂

Why are you watching it then

I agree to a certain extent I think andy had talent and was unique for his time but going back and watching him I don't find him particularly funny

Ok? Sounds like you enjoy lame comedy, stuff that most people would say is not funny at all. Maybe lighten up and learn to appreciate other comedy. You probably laugh and find stupid stuff funny. One of those people who laugh at lame jokes

The two who think Andy was not funny are just the idiot marks we laugh at when they give any opinion on anything. Marks!

@@Justin-bd8qy Ironically you’re calling someOne ELSE a mark for not liking it? You’re literally marking out over AK and his whole schtick.

whaaaaat - must know more. Did you hang out with Tony or Andy? Did you meet Andy?

This was way past Andy's passing. Just Bob Z Turns out we had had a mutual friend and I got an amazing story from that]. But I did meet Andy K many years before at a club VIP room and challenged him to an arm wrestle. He politely told me that he only arm wrestled women!. He was sitting at the next table and that was the extent of our conversation.

@@peppermintpasta that is fantastic!!

aw man, thanks! just having fun!

​@@showbizhistoryiimt shows 😊

My pleasure!

I’ve never really found him funny. I get that he was who inspired Jim Carrey to become Jim Carrey, but Jim, Sacha Baren Cohen, etc. these guys all took Andy’s formula and made it funny. Andy was just a weirdo who was funny to about 1 out of every thousand people.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 and thus, from being voted off SNL by the public, to now being debated in CZcams comments, the controversy over his "comedy" or rather "performance art" continues.

@@showbizhistory I’m not sure I’m convinced, that seems a bit hyperbolic to me. I get what his comedy was, I just didn’t find it funny on a personal level. I understand why others did (like his bit where he wrestled Jerry Lawler and then came out in a neck brace was objectively hilarious). I just found most of what he did to be not for me. I’m the same way with Jerry Seinfeld; I get why people like his comedy, but I never have (standup, Seinfeld was amazing). To me, Kaufman and Seinfeld are in a similar vein in terms of how much I enjoy what they do, while I can still understand why others find it hilarious.

@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 Oh no I'm completely agreeing with you. To an extent (in that I recognize the polarization). At least I think I'm agreeing with you. My comment absolutely was hyperbolic and kind of meant to be. But in that, I mean to express that I find it fascinating that this same type of polarization occurred while he was at his height. The debate over whether he was a comedic genius or just a performance artist was happening from the beginning. There were those, like you, who could appreciate what he did from a distance--understanding that people found it funny, while others thought he was a comedic genius, the funniest person alive etc... And then there are some today who look back on what he did and think it was downright offensive, as many did while he was doing it. He's a bit of an enigma to me. I don't find myself laughing out loud at his stuff, but like you, I can appreciate why others might. I watch with interest and fascination though for sure.

What....?????🤦‍♂️

Lol

Tony was Andy and Bob Zamudaon different occasions after Andy died Bob kept playing the character making some think Andy was still alive

Bob Zamuda swears he worked for a guy based on Tony Clifton. Called him Mr. X in his autobiography and at one time A K had a script and almost a green light for a movied based on TKs life! Bob Zamuda: comedy from A to Z is the book. How they met. What was a work, everything

Nobody cared to know until man in the moon was made.

you're right. "Girl group Pandora's Box went on to record it, and it was subsequently made famous through a cover by Celine Dion, which upset Meat Loaf because he was going to use it for a planned album with the working title Bat Out of Hell III." Given the context of how i'm listing it here (to highlight his major accomplishments in a list of notable achievements), Celine Dion was what was relevant. Not the little known Pandora's Box. Ultimately Celine is what made the song famous. To answer your question, people get it wrong because it has, when all is said and done, become "her" song. But yes, correct. It wasn't for her. My bad!

and if you asked Meat Loaf: "the song was intended for Bat Out of Hell II and given to the singer in 1986."
