It occurred to me tonight, as I was standing on the stage at the Dreamland Theater, rehearsing Friday’s show, that it had been a while since I’d posted anything on the site about Andy Kaufman. And, here, to remedy that, is a short interview with television director James Burrows, on that infamous day when Andy visited the set of “Taxi” as Tony Clifton.

Word is that Tony Danza wanted to beat the shit out of Andy that day when Clifton stopped production.
From Andy’s writing partner, Bob Zmuda:

Have you read about the script that Kaufman and Zmuda wrote for Tony? It’s amazing.

Kaufman is alive. He’s Victoria Jackson.
