Andy Kaufman's biography

Andy Kaufman has a pair of big, childish eyes. Like an innocent lamb. It is said that this actor who brought laughter and happiness to the audience has never really made a joke in his life, not even once. In the center of the huge sports arena, he wore socks and long underpants and screamed at the audience like a madman: "Any woman who beats me in the arena will not only get 100 dollars, but I will also shave my head and marry this lady!" Although this was nonsense, the audience took it seriously. At this point, everyone in the hall hoped that the self-proclaimed wrestling champion of both sexes wasn't talking big. However, it is absolutely true that Andy not only won his first wrestling match, but he won every subsequent one. At this time, paper cups and other projectiles flew towards the arena circle like raindrops. But the bullshit champion doesn't care. Then he shouted to a woman he had just defeated with a rather disgraceful trick: "I'm going to send you ladies back to the kitchen, and you just stay there." Kaufman then gestured Speaking to a sports reporter about his view of the world: He raised his hands above his head to signify "God" and lowered his hands to eye level to signify "man." After a moment of pause, he put his hands on the marrow to indicate "woman", while "dog" meant hanging his hands.

Another time, Andy read the book "The Great Gatsby" in front of the audience, making the audience laugh with joy. He asked everyone to keep quiet and said: "We still have to go a long way together." Later, the audience realized that what this guy said was indeed serious. He then went on to sweetly flatter the more than 3,000 New York audience: "You are How amiable, I'm happy to treat you to milk and snacks." After the performance, he actually used 20 buses to pull the audience to the self-service cafe, and Andy personally served milk and snacks to each audience.

However, Andy Kaufman is best known for his performance in the television series "Taxi". The play aired in the United States from 1978 to 1983 and was very successful. He plays Ragat Glavas, an unpretentious and charming foreigner. He became famous for this drama and was nominated for the 1979 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for this role. Still, he never really felt at home in Taxi. Kaufman's humor is different, completely alien. He said: "In my life, I have never told even one joke. I want to see the real reaction of the audience. I like people to laugh, to be sad from the heart, to be angry from the bottom of their hearts." In this regard, the famous Actor Robin Williams praised him and Jim Carrey even suggested erecting a monument in his honor because he was truly a genius among actors of his generation.

Of course, not all viewers can understand and appreciate Kaufman's rare humor. For example, he performed wrestling because he loved the sport, and he fought against real boxers, but as expected, he ended up in the hospital for it. He also recreated the scene on "Saturday Night Life." He threw the coffee cup at the head of boxer Lawler. This was a very exciting and unique move that will always be a shot worth admiring in the television media. Unfortunately not everyone, including viewers accustomed to such crude jokes, understood his performance. On November 20, 1982, Andy Kaufman heard on the radio that 195,544 angry viewers had called him. Just a few months later, Andy Kaufman died of lung cancer. Viewers didn't believe he was actually dead and said he would be resurrected on CBS' Saturday Night Live.
