Game CloudAndy Kaufman – The Midnight Special
The big mystery about Andy Kaufman's work is in trying to figure out what's serious, what's an act, why he is doing what he's doing, and whether he even knows the differences himself. His performances are among those rare examples where you feel extremely uncomfortable watching them, but at the same time you can't pull yourself away because it's hysterical in a twisted and bizarre sort of way.

Notes
Rare Perfromance Footage!
1981
A time when people on TV still said "don't touch that dial." And meant it.
It was January 23, 1981, that Andy Kaufman - Saturday Night Live alumnus, comedian, Elvis impersonator, "Taxi" star, and wrestler of women - urged us not to touch that dial from the stage of Wolfman Jack's legendary rock & roll show The Midnight Special .
Here for the very first time on DVD - is this incredible episode, which includes some of Andy's most groundbreaking and well-known routines: Andy as Elvis. Andy as Latka Gravas (featuring rare, behind-the-scenes footage from the hit sitcom "Taxi"). Andy as ventriloquist. Andy singing "It's A Small World" with an ensemble of African percussionists. Andy bussing tables at Jerry's Famous Deli in L.A. Andy wrestling women. And, Andy presents Tony Clifton, his abusive alter - ego.
With exclusive interview footage from the artist himself, and live appearances by Andy's hand-picked musical guests Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon (performing "Tallahassee" with Andy on congas), and Slim Whitman (Andy's expression as Slim lip-syncs through "I Remember You" is priceless), this collection is a digitally-remastered, never-before-seen glimpse of the late comic visionary at his peak.
