      I think he inspired a lot of comedy today. The Eric Andre Show, Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat"; along with inspiring characters. For instance, "Perfect Strangers" had a character very similar to Andy's "Latki." He was brilliant and very misunderstood.

      @cb2000a (2 years later) I've often thought that Kaufman wanted to live a healthy life, but in reality
      he didn't. Julie Hecht says in the book "Was this man a Genius" that A.K. ate, slept and lived very irregularly.
      He did everything to the point of exhaustion and often collapsed.
      He really liked drinking milk, but cow's milk isn't as healthy for humans as we've been told for a long time.

    There’s a lot of great subversive comedians since Kaufman who seem to really hold his unusual spirit well intact in their methods. Brilliant talents like Tom Green, Nathan Fielder, Sacha Baron Cohen, Eric Andre, etc., who all understand that there’s grey-areas to comedy and entertainment, and that these grey-areas can and should be explored. Whether or not Andy really is dead, his spirit through courageous inspiration is most definitely still alive and will and shall forever remain that way ❤️

    I was a fan at 12/13 76-77 on up and liked his Elvis impersonation and Taxi, I was a fan of Jim Carry and I thought he was right on in the movie. If they faked their own death as a fan we should respect that 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Andy and Jerry Lawler had the best reaction in wrestling like no other. Even the talk show. It was great Kaufman framed all his wrestling checks cause the man loved wrestling so much. So sad he died

    There is absolutely nothing tragic about Andy Kaufman's life. He wasn't extremely bright light and he lived to the fullest. Anyone can get cancer and die but not everyone can live fully and joyously like he did and the joy that he gave to everybody else. It's insulting to call his life tragic

    • @raincloud7817
      @raincloud7817 15 дней назад

      @Vpopov81 Who is offended by this term?
      It's tragic for anyone to die so young.
      Furthermore, we don't know whether he really had a fulfilling life of joy. According to Julie Hecht's book, he was restless and driven. When he found the only love of his life, he was probably already sick.

And thanks to Andy people all over starting watching wrestling that had never cared about it before and helped make wrestling a huge spectacle! God bless Andy, you were truly one of a kind and my self and many others who grew up knowing, loving, or even hating you will never forget you!
