American Pickers

Andy Kaufman was the comedian and that happened on David Letterman.  The wrestler was the King Jerry Lawler.  It all started when Andy was wrestling women.

I was watching the Man on the Moon movie about Andy Kaufman and it seemed that him and Lawler were friends and this was just a stunt.  I don't know if it was real or not.

I remember Andy Kaufman appearing on a Dick Van Dyke comedy hour back in the seventies doing Elvis.  That was funny.  It was before Taxi and he had that Latka voice when he talked and then sang like Elvis.  Very funny.

Yes Andy was very talanted and a master at setting people up and everyone thinking it was for real.
