Words can't describe what Andy was. He was
humerous, with a touch of fright. To sit and watch Andy work is
true magic. He's serious one minute, then does something completely
off the wall the next. He was a true comical genious. It is a true
shame that he is no longer with us. May Andy Kaufman rest in peace.
B. Johnson I have been the biggest Andy Kaufman fan since I was eleven. After recently finishing "Andu Kaufman Revealed" I cried my eyes out, the first time in a long time. Your web page is one of the best archives that is out there. Keep it up! Adam Scott After I saw the "Mighty Mouse" routine on SNL as a teenager, I became hooked on Andy's style of humour. Who cares whether he was serious or not, to me, he wasn't. Chris Just recently, with the Jim Carrey movie Man on the Moon up and coming have I become interested in the life and times of Andy Kaufman. The more I learn the more I want to learn. Andy was definitely something else. Words don't do him the proper justice. Remember a star that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. Mike God bless Andy! I don't think I would have survived the 80's without Mr. Kaufman taking the piss out of everybody. He turned a plastic world on it's head, sharing his subversion and anarchic joy with everyone pure enough to see his art for what it was. We all laughed with him, and we all loved him for his nerve. I suppose my favorite Andy memory was when he went on T.V. proclaiming he was a born-again Christian, and sang a duet with a Lawrence Welk lady whom he said he was engaged to. Brilliant!! Wherever you are Andy, thanks. And all our love!! Jimmy Angelina Andy Kaufman is the Marcel Duchamp of entertainment. We still don't understand just how good he was. Joe Ford I have recently only grown to know about andy, but he is truly the funniest man Ii have ever seen. Andy I admit it, I watched the Andy Kaufman special on Comedy Central just because I'm a HUGE R.E.M. fan, and Michael Stipe loves him. But there's something about Andy...he was light years ahead of ALL of us...the Mighty Mouse bit...Oh, golly, don't get me started on Elvis...you wanted to hug him, hit him, and pee your pants laughing at him all at one time. They don't make many people like that anymore. Brandi Butler Who was Andy Kaufman? I was blessed to have snippets of the real Andy on the phone in 1979 & 1980. He was a sweet, kind, considerate gentleman. Concerning Memphis, I know he was messing with the heads of all those okey-doak hayseeds who had no way of understanding his art; that he was merely bringing to mind his concept of how wrestling was done in the old days, when wrestlers traveled from town to town with carnivals and were mean and tough. He provoked women to want to take him on by saying that women raised the babies, scrubbed the potatoes, etc. I know he had much more real respect for women than that, and he was just fishing for "takers", provoking their response. His spirit roams the earth to comfort those of us who miss him, knowing there will never be another to replace him. I love Andy. He was such a fine man. Tana Lister Thank you for this site. It's a great tribute to my hero Andy Kaufman. No one will ever beat Andy in what he did. He is the god of comedy. Many people will know Andy once they see the movie coming out this summer MAN ON THE MOON. Hopefully these people won't look at him as a stupid moron who got famous by almost getting his neck broken. I will write more and tell you what people think. And once again your site is my shrine.LONG LIVE THE KING ANDY KAUFMAN!!!!!!!!! Cody I think Andy was a brilliant actor/artist. When he played someone, he really became that person. It's great for you guys to make a site dedicated to him. He certainly deserves it. Jodi Andy Kaufman changed my life. I discovered him through a book Bob Zmuda wrote. He is my idol and will forever be a genius and a God to me. I will be famous too someday. Just like him. Andy lives on forever. Forever and ever, where ever he is. Cody Always was a big wrestling fan and always new latka was a wreslter. Glad to know that the world will know now. Mark Hello all! Thank you, Andy, for everything! We love you! I found this really great Andy Kaufman Tribute site that contains ALL the lyrics and dialogue in the soundtrack! You can find it at: http://students.washington.edu/dwu1/MOTM. MistaKite I consider a select few people to put on my list of those who did what they did amazingly well. Above that is the list I put Andy Kaufman on: True geniuses. Roger Waters is the other on that list. I am in awe every I hear anything about Andy. If anyone would like to e-mail me; feel free. My ears and mind are open. Tim Friedman I think Andy was a brilliant actor/artist. When he played someone, he really became that person. It's great for you guys to make a site dedicated to him. He certainly deserves it. Jodi One of the things that always amazes me about Andy each time I see something "new" is that you can't explain Andy's humor, or entertainment style to people. I can never really explain why it is funny, or entertaining … it just is. Sure not everyone gets the joke, but I don’t think that was Andy’s point. I think it makes it even funnier that people don’t get the joke. I am so glad to see that Andy is back in the spotlight due to "Man On the Moon." So many people now don't remember him or only think of him as that "Taxi guy." I have been a huge fan for years, but unfortunately I didn't know about him until after his death. (I was only 7 ... give me a break) Even so, somehow I truly miss him. Brent Kaufman is one of the funniest people to ever live. I hope the movie does him justice. From the previews it seems as though it will. Ben Freeman Andy Kaufman will go down as being one of my 2 favourite performers, the other being Charli Chaplin, both these great men were so incredibly talented and original, there will never be another Andy, May the memory of Andy live on for ever, long live "The Inter-gender champion!!" Darren Goss I think Andy was a misunderstood genius. He was clearly ahead of his time, and still may be. Perhaps one day we will finally comprehend this amazing artist. Amanda O'Mahony Andy was the man! Big Stone Gap, VA misses him! Tony Patrick This is a good solid website, although I wish it was updated more regularly! In addition to this site and others (http://andykaufman.jvlnet.com), why not try out the Christians for Andy Kaufman Society (CAKS) website (http://caks.homepage.com) for a different spin? We specialize in showcasing art, remembrances, and poetry about the greatest performance artist of this century!
