For context: Jim & Andy - but this was a great podcast post for others researching this incident. Seems that he didn't connect to you as "Jim" when filming, he was too involved with being Andy.
I'm surprised you even have 11k subs... You're so pompous and arrogant even though you're a has-been and no one gives a shit about you anymore. Not sure they ever did. Wrestling fodder at best.
"I'm expecting something really cool and all I see are these old wrestling albums." Geez King, that was a pretty amazing and thoughtful gift. I'd be happy to take it off your hands if you don't appreciate the gesture!
lol it really is a cool gesture from Jim but I think it’s comparison to the disappointment he likely felt by not getting the costume he was originally under the belief that he was supposed to be able to keep. And I wonder if that aspect of things prevented appreciation for the thought behind the gift. He also seems to think past that Jim he doesn’t consider how to get in touch because he has people who can seek out and arrange that stuff for him and doesn’t really consider that Jerry is famous but he’s normal human famous not world renowned, immense wealth famous like Jim.
I have had the chance in my life to meet and talk with many wrestlers. The coolest though was in the lobby of a hotel in Grand Rapids Michigan, when I met Jerry Lawler. I asked him about Man on the Moon and Andy Kaufman. The King spent almost an hour just telling me stories about Andy and fimingbthe movie. Genuinely cool guy.
What a sweet and beautiful gesture from Jim. It’s sad lawlor can’t let it go. He was method acting and Jim clearly apologizes and sends him a very thoughtful letter and gift
Jim Carrey was a disgrace to Andy and his memory. He played Andy bits in a Jim Carrey way. So Lawler might not let it go because Andy was a good friend to him. And Jim is a delusional douche
Jim was an idiot on the set and ruined the experience for everyone. AND...if Jim wanted to do do method acting he should have stayed in character and realized Andy and Jerry were friends!!!!!
Carrey being over the top as usual. JL would have none of it. Sounds like AK and JL had a special relationship and Carrey upset that energy with his very presence.

it was a truly amazing, glorious, ride back in the day during the King vs Andy Kaufman/David Letterman era!!! Phuckin Classic!! Miss that kind of work in todays Business! Loyal to the King #CenterRing316 Thanks Glenn!!! Awesome Show!
Imagine he received a note from Jim in more recent times. Talking about how all we have is this moment and that we are all beings of light. That would be Fucked up.
Good point Jerry, at 9:50, that the role was a spiritual shift for Jim Carrey. I think it was the straw that broke the camel's back - being someone else for so long he saw through the illusion of self.
I actually think it was generous of Jim to send the album's and also a note. I'm sure if Jerry was in It wouldn't be too difficult for him to get in touch with Jim. I know Jerry probably still harbours resentment towards Jim because of everything that went on while filming "Man On The Moon" but that was 20 years ago. There is absolutely no need to publicly humiliate Jim like this.
The reason jim never warmed up to lawler on set was because of the doc being filmed and the rest of the cameras . If cameras were around when Andy and lawler were in the same vecenity andy always stayed In the character that him and lawler were enemies . This was lost on lawler because the depth was a little much . It was an actor playing a part that was playing a part in an environment that if andy was actually carrey wouldnt have been able to leave character. You cant blame lawler for being confused in the situation and you cant deny the genius and commitment it took for jim to succeed in this task .
Exactly. It feels like he brought this letter just to mock Jim. He was trying really hard to direct it that way, but interviewer didn't let him xD I think it was nice from Jim's part to send a gift, which he obviously well thought on. Just shows how forgiving he is, if only people opened up a little bit.
@@janetthompson1862 absolutely. I think if Andy was in Jim's possition he would do things exactly the same. If only Lawler played along, it wouldn't be such a problem. It must be hard for people like Lawler to get individuals like Jim.
@Disingenuous White-Boy says the guy with a fucking CARTOON as an avatar. Maybe it's you who are projecting, you the one who mentioned it, lol. Btw, there's nothing wrong with being gay, you closed-minded fuck.
Whether you liked him or not Jerry, this particular gesture was a nice one and your response is classless. Clearly if he thought you'd sent him the robe he was under the assumption that you had his contact details.
Lol, why would he steal it? Looks like he was truly surprised that somebody sent it to him. Can't blame Jim for thinking that it was from Lawler. Like who else would keep it? Very generous from Jim to take it like an olive branch and immediately responding. Just shows how forgiving he is, unlike Jerry. After all the guy almost broke his neck..
I saw the documentary for the Kaufman movie and he really pulled Jerry’s chain and was lucky not to get his head ripped off but he did get smashed up by Jerry in the Documentary!
I've listened to other interviews with JL with regards to "Man on the Moon." Seems like he simply didn't click with Carrey. Possibly didn't even like him. You don't choose who you like in life. It's organic, either you get along with someone and share positive experiences, or you don't.
I read somewhere that Jim Carrey was very hard to deal with on Man on the Moon. I hope The King really slapped him on the Letterman scene. And piledrove him. Long live the REAL one and only King of Wrestling!!!!!
In Lawler's autobiography he says he couldn't get Carrey to understand that he and Andy were friends in real life. Carrey couldn't get past the 'wrestling enemies' aspect.
Damn King. Jim Carrey sent you a very thoughtful gift and invites you to his box at the Stapmes Center and you say "I thought it would be something cool" King is and was always a dick.
Jerry had said Jim Carrey was a total jerk to him while filming but the reason was Jim became Andy while playing Andy as it helped him get into the role.
Jim Carrey also sent him a Guitar signed by Elvis after his apology and Jerry still bitched and put it in his corner next to other things. Once I seen and red that I lost all respect for him. Yeh okay be upset at Jim but to disrespect Elvis? Any of us would kill to have that Guitar and signed by the King. Yet Jerry just acts like his above everyone...
Seems a bit ungrateful. A guy like Jim Carrey is busy every second of the day that he isnt sleeping. For him to take time out of his day would strike me as a big deal and would be especially grateful for something he actually put some thought into ........even if it was a box of Creedence 8 tracks!
JC assumed Lawler knew how to contact him cuz he sent him the robe. Why'd JC go artsy & reclusive? He cold dumped & shut off from his gf Jenny Mcarthy and her autistic kid who had bonded to JC, and was reportedly very tight fisted. Her Stern interview indicates he is kind of hard to get close to. JC and Kaufman were so far out there to get laughs. But, too much of JC went sexual and very inappropriate for my tastes. JC's movies appealed to kids but were very sexually inappropriate. That Man on the Moon role put Carrey in touch with fatality: Kaufman suddenly went from diagnosis to dead in a few months. Andy was duped into fake psychosurgery and JC played that utterly devastated moment in the movie very well, even if Andys closest friends / family say JC got the role mostly wrong and too aggressive. Andy sounds much nicer in person. Sort of like the Harpo Marx character who acted mute, Harpo never allowed his voice to be recorded or spoke in interviews because the "magic" would be tarnished, Kaufman was playing a role that included trying to be hated, "A bad guy." But, he was acting. No return address on that gift from JC? No manager to get hold of him? Would Lawler actually want to talk to JC about life, death, meaning when he calls JC weird? That Kaufman-Lawler slap on Letterman is still one of tv's highest rated moments. Genius entertainment, some ad-libbing and being on the edge, like Robin Williams, Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Jim Belushi, Chris Farley... all dead. No more quest for laughs. Maybe JC wanted "more." JC has all the $$$ he could ever need. But, having achieved his comedy dreams, whats next? On a search for what matters after all material wealth, fame, and influence connections were far surpassed. Give any of us that and who knows what would happen... peace to JC but Lawler could easily contact him if he really tried. Nice letter. Very heartfelt. Classy. Thankful. Genuine.
The thing about it is that Jerry seems offended that he didn't understand wrestling which is kind of a form of method acting kind of like kayfabe, Jim went about it the wrong way but he was trying to blur the line between fantasy and reality and took it a bit too far, sure. But get over it, man
Extreme method acting in which the actor never breaks character is silly nonsense. Just because that's what they need to do in order to "act" doesn't mean everyone else on the set has to suffer. A great artist doesn't need to annoy his fellow artists.
I disagree! Daniel Day Lewis is the greatest actor of all time (the only male to win 3 Oscars for Best Actor) and he adopts extreme method acting. If those around method actors don't like it.....then stay out of their way until you have to shoot your scenes.
Some roles require that level of immersion. While Jim definitely overdid it and came across as a jackass, he was doing what Marlon Brando does to get into character. You could argue all day about method acting, I haven't gotten into a role Big enough to require it, but I know that it's integral to acting, whether you like it or not. I feel that both ends could be more mature about the whole ordeal.
Is it possible Jim has heard over the years being bad mouthed by Lawler about working with him on the movie and decided to do this is a rib! (speculation and not even sure if Lawler made many negative comments about Jim Carrey post the movie.)
I seriously doubt that Lawler & Kaufman were actually friends. If they were, Lawler would understand Andy's style of humor & realize that Jim was doing to Jerry what Andy had been doing to audiences his whole career: making people doubt how much was real. Which is exactly what pro-wrestlers are supposed to do, oddly enough. But maybe Lawler lived in Vince McMahon's world of "sports entertainment" too long. He forgot what kayfabe is. Jim was playing a gag on Jerry just like Andy would do. It baffles me that this escapes him. I mean, of course, Jim Carrey playing Andy Kaufman playing a pro-wrestler would have to be that way.
That is still pretty cool. But I have to go with my standard comment. When this subject comes up. If you're going to have a celebrity wing on the HOF. How in the blue hell do you not have Andy Kaufman in it?
Jim Carry did go too far with the whole method acting, putting all that worked there through he!!, the first time, *) Jim Carry gets caught in a room and warned. His attitude adjusts a little, but sees many there as them thinking, " thats what he gets." Jim Carry felt it heavy, having deep thoughts, his reputation, "hey it was all method acting," then people will notice my change in my behavior," 😱 "hey but lm method acting," "lm like a reincarnate of Andy though, but why did l go so far," all that pressure..... Did any feel that as well after seeing the documentary?
When he speaks and tells stories about he’s time on set all it sounds like is Jim Carrey is just staying in character of the script. A lot of actors do as they want to make the character more believable. I thought Jerry who had worked on WWE for so many years would know about it. He just seems like a complete douche in this video. And I love Jerry but I just think he sounds really bitter as he does not understand how some actors work on a role. He probably was rude to Jerry and doing all the shit to make chemistry and build some tension for there scenes. And then Jim offers an apology and a present and Jerry try’s to humiliate him just bad form in my opinion. Like I said I love Jerry but listen to this video my opinion on him has gone a bit lower as he just seemed a bit of a bully in truth.
anyone else think it's a great big hoax - 'Andy K' style - which they're pulling and cont to pull on the gen public? - a comedian and a wrestler laughing at a world that's laughing with one and at the other?? kudos to them if yes!!
Or another deduction....maybe jim actually doesnt like you like hes still in character and he knows you wanted the costume and hes ribbing you about it

Jim Carrey being a pretentious douchey weirdo is one of the biggest bummers in Hollywood.
it doesn't even sound like him
Manuel Ramos This must be Jerry Lawler's real voice. I guess he "affected" a southern accent as part of his character. LOL!
anyone else think it's a great big hoax - 'Andy K' style - which they're pulling and cont to pull on the gen public? - a comedian and a wrestler laughing at a world that's laughing with one and at the other??
kudos to them if yes!!
Jim acts just like the coward
If he did send the wardrobe to you...maybe he didn't send you the letter. It's all very daft and shadowy...js
Or another deduction....maybe jim actually doesnt like you like hes still in character and he knows you wanted the costume and hes ribbing you about it
