Taxi stars' bitter feud with Andy Kaufman
PUSSSYKATT
Andy Kaufman, who played befuddled immigrant Latka Gravas on Taxi, drove his
co-stars on the hit sitcom crazy with his outrageous behavior.
COMIC wildman Andy Kaufman was so disliked by his co-stars on Taxi that none of
them bothered to go to his funeral, according to a shocking new book.
Kaufman died of cancer a year after the show went off the air in 1984, but his
co-stars still simmered over his outrageous antics, according to author Bob
Zmuda, Kaufman's longtime friend and comedy co-writer, in Andy Kaufman
Revealed!
Amazingly, the Taxi cast's lingering bad feelings haven't stopped most of them
from appearing in a blockbuster new movie about Kaufman, starring Jim Carrey as
the manic genius. Judd Hirsch, Jeff Conaway and Marilu Henner will all star as
themselves in Man on the Moon, set to open on Christmas Day.
Zmuda reveals that Kaufman's problems with Hirsch began even before they
started taping when both discovered the other had been guaranteed he'd be the
show's prime star.
"Andy didn't care who got the billing, but it gnawed at Hirsch," Zmuda claims.
One clash happened, he recalls, when Kaufman appeared on the series as
foul-mouthed lounge lizard Tony Clifton. At the time it was planned he would
play a dual role -- Tony and Latka the mechanic.
Kaufman demanded that the rest of the cast call him Tony instead of Andy.
When "Tony" first delayed a rehearsal while two prostitutes serviced him in his
trailer -- and then changed Hirsch's lines during the run-through -- Hirsch
exploded.
" 'OK, that's it, this is bull****!' Hirsch bellowed," Zmuda writes.
" 'Either he leaves or I do!'
"Tony Danza ran off to get his super-8 camera, convinced a melee was about to
occur," recalls the author.
Another confrontation actually led to fisticuffs. one of the rare occasions
when Kaufman attended a cast party, Jeff Conaway started needling him.
"You think you're better than the rest of us, Kaufman?" Zmuda claims the
drunken Conaway blared at his co-star.
When Kaufman denied the charge, Conaway punched him, knocking him into a table
of hors d'oeuvres.
"From then on, Andy had a practical excuse for not showing at cast functions,"
writes Zmuda.
The author also gets a dig in at Marilu Henner for unexpectedly showing up at
the premiere of a movie Kaufman filmed shortly before his death.
"Some of the celebrities who had been so unsupportive in the past now came out
to support the dying man," Zmuda writes. "I wanted to scream at the top of my
lungs: 'You hypocrites. How dare you show up now?' "
Zmuda says the funnyman hated filming Taxi -- he agreed to do it only because
it gave him the financial freedom to pursue his wacky comic stunts. His first
contract stipulated that he'd appear on just 13 of the she's 22 episodes -- and
that he had to work only two days a week.
"Being excused from most of what was perceived as the normal workload created
some friction between Andy and the rest of the cast," Zmuda acknowledges.
"But Andy contracted for and devoted to Taxi exactly what he felt it required
of him - - no more, no less. His diminished presence was not the behavior of a
prima donna but rather was based on the precise calculation of an extremely
goal-driven man of how much of his time this particular project deserved."

You can include me in the apparently small group of fans who became
increasingly annoyed and bored with Kaufman. My friends and I got sick of him.
We no longer found his humor to be funny. I guess we just weren't hip enough
to *get* him.
Now that Kaufman's become such a comedy icon, nobody will admit they didn't
find him a comedy genius while he was alive. As I remember, he became so
self-indulgent and egomaniacal that fans voted him off of show. Was it
Saturday Night Live?

Yes, it was SNL; I remember that show in particular. I never thought the
guy was funny, and am surprised to hear that he's become a comedy icon.
Wait, scratch that... Adam Sandler has become a comedy icon too, and I
don't think he's funny either. (well, he was funny on SNL, but his act gets
old after 5 minutes... to me, anyways)

He was irritating and obnoxious. Taxi was
one of my favorite tv shows, but when Kaufman
was on,I did not watch it. I could not stand
him for even 30 minutes.

I remember he got voted out during the period that SNL was at
it's low point, during the time Lorne Michaels was not associated
with it. He was annoying at that point, but I thought it was pretty
hyprocritical to vote him off a show that sucked so much.

he was a featured player, not a regular OR, iirc, a host.
still...no one "voted" anyone off the show. he appeared occasionally and then
he moved on.

Consider God's Math:

N = 14x6 = 84
D = 4x6 = 24
Y = 25x6 = 150
K = 11x6 = 66
A = 1x6 = 6
U = 21x6 = 126
F = 6x6 = 36
M = 13x6 = 78
A = 1x6 = 6
N = 14x6 = 84
6+84+24+150 = 264
66+6+126+36+78+6+84 = 402
264 + 402 = 666!!!
How could Andy Kaufman, who is best known to the public as TV's lovable
"Latka" on the series "Taxi", be the unholy spawn of Satan as predicted
in the Book of Revelation?
Skeptics will say that Andy Kaufman died in 1984, BUT there are quite a
few, including many of his close friends, who believe he FAKED HIS
DEATH!
Would not a son of Lucifer be as wily as his infernal father? Is the
Beast not described in Revelation 13:14 as skillfully deceptive?
As many have already discovered, New York will play a role in the Great
Tribulation:
N = 14x6 = 84
E = 5x6 = 30
W = 23x6 = 138
Y = 25x6 = 150
O = 15x6 = 90
R = 18x6 = 108
K = 11x6 = 66
84+30+138+150+90+108+66 = 666
Well, guess what? ANDY KAUFMAN WAS BORN AND SUPPOSEDLY "BURIED" IN NEW
YORK!
The film about Kaufman's life is directed by none other than Milos
Forman, whose previous film "The People vs. Larry Flynt" propped up a
wicked, atheist pornographer as a "hero" and shamefully debased upright,
God-fearing Christians such as Jerry Falwell and Charles Keating.
(Speaking of Falwell, he recently drew fire for predicting that the
Anti-Christ will be Jewish. Do I have to tell you what kind of name
"Kaufman" is?)
The title of the film, "Man On The Moon", named after a rock song by the
group R.E.M. that praised Kaufman (as well as Charles Darwin, who has
been responsible for leading countless numbers away from Christ with his
unproven "theory" of evolution).
And just which R.E.M. song has sold more than any other? "Losing My
Religion"!
I truly believe that the release of this satanic film will trigger the
events leading to Armageddon. The world will come to think of Andy
Kaufman as a misunderstood genius, and he will use the opportunity to
"rise" from the dead soon after. His growing popularity will lead to his
installment as the leader of an unholy alliance comprised of the World
Council of Churches, the Tri-Lateral Commission, the World Wrestling
Federation, the United Nations, and Comedy Central.
"What!?" you may ask. "THE UNITED NATIONS!?!" It is not as ludicrous as
it may sound. It is well-known that the UN has employed BLACK
HELICOPTERS in secret missions against this great country.
H = 8x6 = 48
E = 5x6 = 30
L = 12x6 = 72
I = 9x6 = 54
C = 3x6 = 18
O = 15x6 = 90
P = 16x6 = 96
T = 20x6 = 120
E = 5x6 = 30
R = 18x6 = 108
48+30+72+54+18+90+96+120+30+108 = 666
What roles will Henry Kissinger, computers, nuclear war, Judd Hirsch,
and the Federal Reserve play? Only the Lord knows the truth for now. But
it cannot be denied that Andy Kaufman and UN black helicopters will be
intrinsically involved. GOD'S MATH DOESN'T LIE!
Please alert as many as you can to the approaching showdown between the
righteous forces of heaven and the satanic forces of Andy Kaufman!
Do NOT go to this "Man on the Moon" movie opening on Christmas Day! Stay
home, play Elvis records and pray God saves us from Anti-Christ Kaufman.
Yes, I was involved in Kaufman's evil charade but I now serve the Lord
Jesus Christ and his loving eternal Father.

Christopher Lloyd the actor from "Taxi" and various wacky roles is
not the same person as the tv producer ("Frasier", "Golden Girls" etc)
with the same name.

Kaufman was actually trying to make people hate him. Well, not him, exactly.
His alter ego, Tony Clifton. Kaufman would NEVER even admit that HE WAS the
Tony Clifton character.
Clifton was a disgusting, obnoxious character who was supposed to be hateful.
Kaufman's goal, as the Clifton character, was to do everything he could to make
people hate him. Kaufman didn't feel he'd reached his goal until he made
everybody around him hate the Tony Clifton persona.
When Kaufman was Clifton, he would never break character. On the set of Taxi,
Clifton made all the other actors' lives a living hell. Kaufman did everything
he could to make everyone else on the set miserable.
Here is just one example of the Tony Clifton character from the "Star's"
interview with Bob Zmuda:
One clash happened, he (Bob Zmuda), recalls, when Kaufman appeared on the
series as foul-mouthed lounge lizard Tony Clifton. At the time it was planned
he would play a dual role -- Tony and Latka the mechanic. Kaufman demanded
that the rest of the cast call him Tony instead of Andy. When "Tony" first
delayed a rehearsal while two prostitutes serviced him in his trailer -- and
then changed Hirsch's lines during the run-through -- Hirsch exploded.
That example of the Clifton character was really pretty tame. He was usually
much more disgusting.
Kaufman was an impossible person to work with. He lived in his own little
world.
There was a really good profile of him on E or The Comedy Channel. It showed
Kaufman warts and all. He was a totally fascinating enigma.
Kaufman almost seemed like someone with multiple personalities. Or someone who
was *pretending* to have multiple personalities.
I've never heard of an entertainer quite like Kaufman. His alter ego, Tony
Clifton, wasn't just obnoxious, he was frightening.

Oh wow, Andy Kaufman one of my all-time favorite comedians, along with Bill
Hicks (who also died much too young). Has anyone seen "My Breakfast with
Blassie"? It's classic. Andy's wrestling days were hysterical, people really
hated him. Maybe he was a prick in real life, I didn't know him.
All I know is that when he literally stopped the show on "Fridays" - "I'm
sorry, I can't do this" - and the actors all got in a brawl - man, ya can't
beat live TV like that. Anyone know if that all was real or fake?? I think it
was real.
I adored Andy K., may he rest in Iowa (I think that all the Elvis sightings in
the midwest are actually Andy Kaufman, dressed up like Elvis).

Real or not, was it not one of the most *wonderful* moments on TV ever?
All the other stuff you saw on TV looked scripted and there was never that
sense that you were being shown anything out of control. Andy, God bless
him, took his audience to places that no one else had the balls to. Even
scary places.
Like him reading the entirety of The Great Gatsby and getting angry
with the audience for laughing at it, explaining as he fanned the book to
show us, "We've got a great deal of reading here to do." And I suspect he
would have read it all the way through to the end, just to make his point:
"And so we beat on like boats, borne ceaselessly into the past."

tears, and "apologized" to the Fridays audience. He got real upset when people
were cracking up - "Why are you laughing? Do you think this is funny?!? My
career is over!!!". Oh man. lol.
I heard a rumour that his Tony Clifton character (in his stage act) was at
first played by Andy but then, after several shows, he tricked his audiences
by having his manager, Bob Zmuda, pretend to be Andy playing Tony. Is this
true? I think that's funny as hell. I think he also had Bob in the audience
heckle him sometimes.
Another comedian whom everyone should check out on tape or TV: Bill Hicks,
from Texas. This guy was as funny, in a very different way, than Andy. No
alternate personas; just witty stand-up, non-gratuitously profane, a great
social commentator. He died of pancreatic cancer in February 26, 1994, at the
age of 32. What a loss. I remember opening an Entertainment Weekly to an
article titled: "Death of a Comedian" with a picture of Bill Hicks. I thought,
"Ha, what's he done now?!?!?" thinking he got himself in trouble again. Damn,
I about fell off the couch.
His comedy videos are One Night Stand, Relentless and Totally Bill Hicks. I
have a third generation copy of "One Night Stand". Go get them if you can!
