![]() Wally as Andy
Special appearance by Tony Clifton |
This two hour
special focused on the bizarre but all-to-brief life of one of comedy's most perplexing
stars, Andy Kaufman. In a seamless mix of interviews with friends and co-stars, file footage, film clips and staged recreations, you learn things about comedy's most enigmatic performer that you never knew. Wally portrays Andy in the aforementioned recreations which include Andy getting thrown off stage at a comedy club, meditating in his car before a "Taxi" taping, rehearsing his Elvis Presley act, and adamantly convincing a fan that he is NOT Andy Kaufman. |
| You also see footage of Andy's alter-ego(?) Tony Clifton, getting thrown off the "Taxi" soundstage, cavorting with hookers & performing on stage. The special is also narrated by Wally. | |
