ANDY KAUFMAN Anonymous 08/19/23 (Sat) 00:40:57 No.96287

if you don't already know about Andy Kaufman, you're missing out.

ask ANY famous comedian "who is your favorite comedian?" and they'll tell you "Andy Kaufman".

Andy wasn't a "comedian" as much as he was always playing a joke on the audience, keeping them guessing, not sure exactly WHAT to think about him...

h was a master of abstract insanity

Tonight, I'm going to tell you the story about "HOW I MET ANDY KAUFMAN"

back in the old days, every week SNL used to air a "bumper spot" between commercial reads, where the announcer would say, "Guests of Saturday Night Live stay at Th Essex House Hotel, New York's Finest Hotel Blah Blah Blah"...

and I thought to myself :

"Andy Kaufman is a Guest...

so he's staying at The Essex House Hotel?"

The show ended at 1:00 AM here on the east coast, so I waited an extra 15 minutes just to make sure Andy would have enough time to make it back to the hotel...

Back then, we didn't have smartphones or the internet.. back then, people dialed 511 and it connected you to a long distance information operator...

directory assistance, they called it..

A human, usually a woman answered the line, and this one gave me the number to the Essex House Hotel..

I dialed the New York exchange, and it rang... " thank you for calling the Essex House hotel, how may I direct your call?"

I didn't ask if Andy was staying there...

instead, I simply said, "Andy Kaufman's room, please"..

I wasn't even sure if my hunch was correct, or if Andy was staying at that hotel or not.. I was just winging it

"one moment please. I'm connecting you now, sir."

(I was delighted to discover my hunch was right !!)

the phone rang in the hotel room

I introduced myself, and told Andy I specialize in painting Elvis Presley portraits for celebrities, and I lived in atlanta, and I would love to paint Elvis for him.

He told me he was flying back to San Francisco the next morning with a 90 minute layover in Atlanta.

He said I could come meet him at the airport, if I wanted to.

so I stayed up late and painted a really quick Elvis picture for him...

And the next day at 1:00 p.m. I invited several of my friends to come to the airport with me, at where we all hung out with Andy Kaufman for an hour and a half
