Podcast appearances and mentions of Andy Kaufman

Tom Kelly and Steve Burgerer riff on Long Island "victimless crimes," fake service dogs, loud motorcycles, e-bikes, bad parking etiquette, walkable towns, and whether naming every town on Long Island could somehow become viral content. The episode eventually turns into a full-on Long Island town naming marathon inspired by Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jimmy Fallon — with debates over which towns are real, which ones sound fake, and why every Long Islander secretly wants to hear their hometown mentioned. Tom also talks about comedy, podcasting, audience behavior, Andy Kaufman-style performance art, and an awkward comedy dating show featuring 9/11 jokes gone wrong. If you love Long Island culture, local humor, Massapequa references, Eisenhower Park, Nassau County chaos, and two comedians arguing about whether "Village of the Branch" is a real place… this episode is for you.

Screenwriting Legends SCOTT ALEXANDER and LARRY KARASZEWSKI discuss their origin stories of being film nerds, drive-in movies, how looking on the back of Variety was glorious when they were kids, how Shakey's Pizza's silent movies influenced them, meeting the first hour at school and deciding to go to the Nuart Theater in Los Angeles, why they program screenings including The Wrong Guy, what makes a good story from real life, why offbeat losers make better subjects than heroes, how directors like Tim Burton are loyal to the script and love stories of art and outsiders, why awards are fun but stupid, their process of deciding on ideas in a shockingly random way, sinking time into ideas that go nowhere, the amazing Marx Brothers movie that can't seem to get made, how they can't shake a movie once they love it, how producers are just as stupid as they are, whether everyone has a movie in their lives and why someone doesn't make a bio movie about them, and how pickleball can save your life! Bio:SCOTT ALEXANDER and LARRY KARASZEWSKI met when they were freshman roommates at USC's School of Cinema. On a whim, they wrote a screenplay during their senior year, which sold a week after graduation. They are best known for writing very unusual biopics with larger-than-life characters. They wrote the highly-acclaimed ED WOOD, for which they were nominated for Best Screenplay by the Writers Guild. They followed this with THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, for which they won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay, as well as a special Writers Guild award for civil rights and liberties. They scripted the extremely postmodern MAN ON THE MOON, the life story of Andy Kaufman. They wrote BIG EYES, the strange-but-true story of Margaret and Walter Keane, for which they received an Indie Spirit Best Screenplay nomination. For their first television project, they created the hit miniseries AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE PEOPLE V. O.J. SIMPSON, for which they won the Emmy, Golden Globe, PGA and WGA Award for Best Limited Series. Their most recent film, DOLEMITE IS MY NAME, is the celebrated tale of Rudy Ray Moore. Other than biopics, Alexander and Karaszewski are quite eclectic. They wrote the hit Stephen King adaptation 1408. They produced the Bob Crane biopic AUTO FOCUS, and they wrote and directed the comedy SCREWED. They have also written numerous family films, including PROBLEM CHILD, PROBLEM CHILD 2, AGENT CODY BANKS, and GOOSEBUMPS. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Andrew Kaufman appears on Outer Limits of Inner Truth to discuss terrain theory, the mind body connection, and personal health autonomy. He begins with the period when fear dominated public life, sharing his observations about how institutions leaned on it to override individual rights, then moves into his central medical argument, that the body operates on its internal terrain and inner state far more than on outside invaders. The strongest and most substantive stretch of the interview is the mind body material, where Kaufman draws on the adverse childhood experiences research linking early trauma to chronic disease in adulthood, explains the nocebo effect using the example of patients who developed chemotherapy side effects after receiving only a saline solution, and argues that unresolved emotional conflict can physically obstruct the body's ability to heal itself. The second half turns to the everyday inputs Kaufman believes shape long term health. He makes a detailed case for real, local, seasonal, minimally processed food, reasoning both from the composition of the human body and from medical anthropology describing populations before colonization who lived largely free of chronic disease. He raises concerns about seed oils, the role of chronic stress and cortisol, and what he calls obesogens, the persistent environmental toxins and forever chemicals such as DDT and PCBs that researchers have found stored in human fat for decades. Kaufman also shares his perspective on conventional medicine and alternative approaches to treatment, and frames the entire conversation around the idea of becoming your own doctor and refusing to outsource your judgment. He closes by pointing listeners to the free resources on his website, including his detox protocol and his masterclass on handling medical situations at home. Website: https://medauthentica.com/ ----- Dr. Andy Kaufman, a "recovering physician," transitioned from a prestigious mainstream medical career to challenge conventional paradigms. Trained in allopathic medicine, his journey of questioning traditional principles led him to become a dynamic educator and speaker. Dr. Andy shares insights on medicine, viruses, and natural healing, while exploring interconnected fields like economics, law, and science, offering a holistic perspective that inspires critical thinking. With a Bachelor of Science in Biology from MIT, an MD from the University of South Carolina, and a psychiatric residency at Duke University, Dr. Andy has held academic leadership roles, contributed to research, and patented a medical device. Now, he dedicates himself to researching and delivering trustworthy products and protocols, empowering health-seekers to achieve optimal wellness.

Alex Braverman is a filmmaker who has directed and produced acclaimed documentaries, including the 2023 film THANK YOU VERY MUCH, a fascinating portrait of the great Andy Kaufman. I first discovered Alex's work through THANK YOU VERY MUCH, which is currently on MUBI, and immediately wanted to talk to him about Kaufman, documentary filmmaking, and the strange blurred line between performance, truth, comedy, and reality. We talked about Alex's early work as a documentary cameraman, including MAKING MARINES, the making of THANK YOU VERY MUCH, the Safdie brothers coming on as producers, Andy Kaufman's obsession with confusing and challenging audiences, and why documentary filmmaking is often truly built in the edit. We also discussed STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT: UNLOCKING THE TRUTH, which Alex produced, the current state of documentary filmmaking, and the importance of cutting material that does not serve the story. Alex also shares two of his favorite movie scenes from THE HEARTBREAK KID and Bennett Miller's THE CRUISE.

1980's In God We Trust was the second film of a three film agreement between actor/director Marty Feldman and Universal Pictures.  Following the success of Feldman's The Last Remake of Beau Geste, In God We Trust was his attempt to call out the excesses and hypocrisy of commercialized religion.  But the film didn't connect with audiences and Universal cancelled Feldman's deal.  His co-stars in the film include a cavalcade of 70's comic geniuses - Peter Boyle, Louise Lasser, Andy Kaufman and Richard Pryor. Dan and Vicky discuss the little seen film and lots of recently seen like Lee Cronin's The Mummy, Mother Mary, Exit 8, Hamnet, Thrash, The Housemaid, and the Netflix Dan Levy series Big Mistakes.

The Met Gala lacks representation, The Cult of NatureBoy on Hulu, Shannon Elizabeth justifies OnlyFans, Blake Lively fails, bratty Blue Ivy, Stefon Diggs Not Guilty, Andy Kaufman, and the personal life of Jerry Seinfeld. Met Gala: Drew didn't see many people that looked like him at the event. Blake Lively SNAPPED at helpers. Timothée Chalamet skipped the event for the New York Knicks game. Blue Ivy was a total brat. Blake Lively is falling fast. Her Betty Booze alcohol is a joke. Justin Baldoni is soft… but he's the winner in the battle. Popcorned Planet has the story covered. Andy Kaufman was a legendary wrestler. We check out his musical number on The Midnight Special. Drew recommends the Thank You Very Much documentary. John Mellencamp has great stage banter and a giant head. Franki Valli's son is a menace. Drew spent 45 minutes without a cell phone. It was a stressful day. The Cult of NatureBoy is the latest wild doc on Hulu. The Devil Wears Prada 2 made a lot of money at the box office, but not as much as Michael. Drew is yearning for comedies, dramas and Hugh Grant rom-coms. Geese is totally an industry plant. Is Greta Van Fleet finished? They posted cryptic social media posts. Stefon Diggs is not guilty of strangling his chef… who he was also banging. McDonald's is under attack! Seattle has an interesting mayor. We go on a Jerry Seinfeld deep dive thanks to the work of Wassup with Lordbuckly?. Shannon Elizabeth now has complete agency over her body… but very little agency over her money. Woodward Sports has been sold and is moving to Royal Oak. Maz's commute is not affected. Merch is for sale! Buy it. Or don't. But do.

Writer, comedian and producer Bob Zmuda has had a busy career, performing, writing and producing comedy specials, co-creating the charity Comic Relief and collaborating with the late (??) great comedian/performance artist Andy Kaufman. Gilbert and Frank rang up Bob at his house in Lake Tahoe to talk about (among other things) his early days as half of the comedy duo Albrecht & Zmuda, his role in bringing the Kaufman biopic “Man on the Moon” to the screen, his controversial new book about Andy's life, and his theory of how his old friend and collaborator pulled off the greatest hoax in comedy history. Also, Eddie Murphy takes a phone call, Tony Clifton (or was it Jim Carrey?) invades the Playboy mansion and Garth Brooks (almost) portrays Bob on the big screen. PLUS: The ventriloquist team of Dick & Stinky! Larry the Lobster gets a reprieve! Gilbert gets the axe at SNL! And a surprise guest crashes the podcast! Learn more about your ad choices.

Awhile back, during our Season Five look back, we wanted to do a "Deep Thoughts" episode on the Andy Kaufman special, Andy's Funhouse, which aired in the summer of 1979 (though it was filmed back in 1977). We were very excited to get into it with such an iconic performer and one of his biggest showcases. We even had a guest lined up—a proclaimed "expert" on Andy Kaufman. Sadly, the day of recording, our guest ghosted us.We had two choices—postpone the recording and try to reschedule with our unprofessional guest or just push on and record with two guys who have only a surface-level knowledge of Andy Kaufman, skimped on the research (since they were supposed to have an expert on the show), but did spend the time watching the special. We decided to press on, by ourselves, and record our own look back on the special.At the end of the day, we chose not to put the episode out. Not because the episode isn't good (we think it is) but because it wasn't AS GOOD as it could have been. But, in going through the vaults of stuff we have after the end of "The Early Years of SNL," we thought it would be fun to share now.So enjoy our look back on the very first Andy Kaufman television special that is at times very interesting, at other times very befuddling, and at many times very entertaining. Andy brings back many (if not all) of his classic bits and welcomes guest stars like Cindy Williams, Howdy Doody, and Wendy Polland (who?).This was actually a lot of fun.---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!And follow us on social media: Twitter: @NR4PTProject Instagram: @nr4ptprojectBluesky: @nr4ptproject.bsky.socialFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

April's almost over but we're not done talking all things comedy just yet:   We present to you an exclusive, long-in-the-making tribute and retrospect on '50s TV host, visual gag perfectionist & awe-inspiring comedian ERNIE KOVACS.   Who knew that Jack Lemmon was part of the Nairobi Trio?   What influence did Kovacs' abnormal style have on Kids in the Hall, Monty Python, MST3k, Pee-Wee Herman, Mr. Show & even Conan O'Brien?   Aside from Kovacs, how did Edward R. Murrow, Tex Avery, Andy Kaufman, Stan Freberg, David and Amy Sedaris & Mike Nesmith change the realm of meta-humor possibilities?   We also share trivia, a review of his TV biopic movie starring Jeff Goldblum & where you can get his CD recordings/DVDs!       CLIPS USED: "Ernie Kovacs Theme Song: Oriental Blues" by Robert Maxwell Ernie Kovacs: Between the Laughter TV spot

We got to talk to comedian, Matt Levy! Jason interviews comedian and filmmaker Matt Levy about parenting a three-year-old and collaborating with his wife, who appears in his shorts and has starred in his films. Matt recounts his early comedy path through high-school improv, speech and debate bits inspired by Andy Kaufman, and stand-up classes he took with his dad, plus working at the Tempe Improv. He discusses an interning at The Onion in 2010 doing photo research, the notable colleagues who later became successful, and meeting Judd Apatow before giving Jason some suggestions on our newsletter and our planned 10-year live episode. Matt also talks a bit about Just Jokes, his short film about the guilt felt after a roast-battle, his goal of making annual shorts, and writing features for his podcast Unmade Dream Projects.

Jim Carrey gives one of the most intense and transformative performances of his career in Man on the Moon, but the real question is… was Andy Kaufman a genius or completely unhinged?In this review, we break down the film, Carrey's commitment to the role, and how it blurs the line between performance and reality. Kaufman wasn't just telling jokes, he was creating experiences, confusing audiences, and sometimes pushing people away entirely.Does the movie capture that? And more importantly, does it make you understand him… or just leave you more confused?Let us know what you think. Genius or insane?#ManOnTheMoon #AndyKaufman #JimCarrey #MovieReview #FilmTok #Cinema #FilmAnalysis #Biopic #Acting #Comedy #WeirdMovies #90sMovies #ClassicFilms #FilmDiscussion #MovieTok #ContentCreator #YouTubeMovies #PodcastClips #TheCleanSlate

I've known comedian/writer/animal activist Elayne Boosler for a couple of decades, but there's so much I didn't know! We got loads of juicy bits from the woman who pioneered stand-up comedy for all who followed in her wake. From her earliest days at The Improv in New York, a waitress/hostess, who needed Andy Kaufman's help to differentiate the brown drinks, to her love/hate relationship with proprietor, Bud Friedman, swooning over 20-year-old Richard Lewis, MC'ing without an act or a net, singing and then not thanks to now partner Andy, who Elayne credits with teaching her “everything.” Tom Waits? Who knew! We got a great story there. Robin Williams, to Bill Siddons, her husband of 30 years, with whom she shares a home in Italy, and a great line to sum up the current state of their union. We got lots on Italy, the when, where, why, and how. Elayne was always a must-see for me whenever she appeared on TV, and hugely impactful when I tried my hands and feet at standup. I could never be as smart, but she gave me permission to let my sass shine. A fan for decades, it was a pinch-me moment when we met on the Facebook and became instant friends. It translated to the reals not long after, over pizza in New York, and sometime after that, with Elayne gracing my living room for Women Who Write. It's taken 10 years to get this sit down, she was well worth the wait. Despite a couple of tech glitches, I adored every moment, and I'm so grateful for all the laughs, so needed now. I'm about to do a YouTube Elayne deep dive and continue to lose myself in her brilliant shine. Elayne Boosler Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, April 8th, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET

The 2026 slate for Hey, an Actor! inevitably starts with a well-known comedic actor of Hollywood pedigree: New Jersey's greatest short man, Danny DeVito. The Brothers Wilson skillfully navigate his Taxi sitcom days by covering his film dedicated to his former co-star, Andy Kaufman, in Man on the Moon, as well as one of his first post-Taxi cinematic supporting roles in Romancing the Stone, and his directorial effort in bringing Roald Dahl's Matilda to the silver screen. Along the way, Pandy introduces a new character, Ian learns a new synonym for "taint," and Jerry Lawler is discussed just enough not to worry the podcast's legal budget. Oh, and there's a song parody that sounds unintentionally Muppet-esque.

Johnny Mac covers Jay Leno on Judd Apatow's podcast discussing a comedy “Mount Rushmore,” with Mac calling George Carlin and Richard Pryor undeniable while debating other candidates and noting women like Joan Rivers; Leno's four picks are Richard (“Richie”) Pryor, Robert Klein, Bob Newhart, and Rodney Dangerfield, with Carlin as his fifth. Mac also recounts Leno telling Craig Ferguson about failing to recognize an uninteresting Tonight Show guest he'd just interviewed. Kevin Nealon describes learning by bartending at the Improv and studying comics like Leno, Richard Lewis, Andy Kaufman, and Seinfeld, plus advice about not taking the business personally. Jerry Seinfeld and Nate Bargatze discuss touring as a muscle and staying sharp in arenas. Rob Riggle talks career highlights and writing his book, and Russell Peters tells stories involving Blake Griffin trying comedy and later heckling him at an NBA game. 00:17 Mount Rushmore Debate01:52 Leno Picks Pryor02:39 Robert Klein Case03:17 Newhart and Dangerfield05:14 Leno Guest Brain Drift05:56 Kevin Nealon Lessons06:44 Seinfeld and Bargatze Touring07:53 Rob Riggle Grit Book09:05 Russell Peters vs Blake Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

It's time to Art Funk with the Garf! This week, we've got a pleasantly mellow little outing from the original cast, one with a heavier bent on music than usual. And since the music is being provided by Art Garfunkel and Stephen Bishop, it's also maybe a little sleepier than usual but that doesn't mean we don't have some bangers in here too. In fact, we have one of the most recognizable SNL sketches ever nestled in this one and, for my money, one of the best musical performances as well. There's some real bafflers and Andy Kaufman so join us as we explore this strange, John Belushi heavy episode of SNL.

Episode 188 – Vancouver, Part Two: The Show ItselfEpisode 188 of The Letterman Podcast picks up right where last week left off.In Part One, Mike, Len, and Rob recounted the unforgettable experience of meeting David Letterman — and even Paul Shaffer — before Dave took the stage at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver for his sold-out conversation with Zach Galifianakis.This week, the focus shifts to the show itself.Len and Rob join Mike once again for a one-of-a-kind report on a one-of-a-kind evening, as the three of them break down the entire event from top to bottom. They discuss the surprise appearance by Paul Shaffer, the tone and rhythm of Dave's conversation with Zach, and a delightfully odd, very Andy Kaufman-esque bit that Zach may or may not have sprung on Dave in real time.If there's a more complete account of this Vancouver appearance anywhere online, we haven't seen it. This episode may well stand as the most definitive recap of the night — a David Letterman enthusiast's-eye document of a truly special show.For David Letterman enthusiasts, this is the kind of episode that preserves the magic.Before you go, make a stop at Hello-Deli.com — the one and only home of official Late Show with David Letterman merchandise, lovingly kept alive by the legendary Rupert Jee. Buy something classy. Or weird. Rupert contains multitudes.And if this episode brought you even a fraction of the joy that the show itself brought our little Vancouver wolfpack, please like, share, subscribe, and leave a positive comment. We're not above begging — but we prefer to think of it as charming persistence.

Johnny Mac delivers a Daily Comedy News briefing previewing Nate Bargatze's game show and a new Taylor Tomlinson special, then cites a Naughty but Nice Substack report claiming CBS News leader Barry Weiss is considering booking Joe Rogan on 60 Minutes, though sources say Rogan likely wouldn't do it and would not be motivated by money.Jim Jefferies recounts meeting Dave Chappelle backstage shortly before Chappelle's onstage attack, and Jefferies discusses preferring shows with his own fans, concerns about longevity, identity tied to audience approval, and family time.The episode shares audio from Mike Chisholm describing David Letterman's sold-out JFL Vancouver show featuring Trump jokes, Paul Shaffer, a rendition of O Canada, career retrospectives, and an interview segment with Zach Galifianakis that included Andy Kaufman-style moments.

After reflecting on our last bracket where we went through @VHSDates and played matchmaker, our resident bracketologist Drinks w/ Ron came up with the perfect solution for the problem of what to do this month. So: because this wondrous and beautiful account of newly unearthed video personal ads turned out to be a brilliant improv troupe, we decided to discuss hoaxes. And not just any hoaxes, but ones that got us good. Everything from Andy Kaufman to the Blair Witch Project. All that, and more!And if you enjoy what we are doing here at the Pit and would like to support us further, please check us out our patreon, where we have exclusive extended episodes!

What happens when a dream crossover forgets the story? We dig into WWE's Stranger Things night and explain why a themed set without narrative or talent cameos felt like a letdown—plus the simple, feasible beats that could have delivered a true Upside Down moment. From entrance ideas to atmospheric teases and a Wyatt Six-ready tone, we lay out a blueprint for crossovers that serve the wrestling, not just the brand.Along the way, we contrast AEW's pacing and match-first approach, highlighted by a suplex-heavy showcase from Shelton Benjamin and the kind of card flow that keeps viewers glued. We also wade into the Chris Jericho rumor mill, what his renewed conditioning might signal, and whether a surprise return could land at a Royal Rumble staged abroad. The bigger takeaway: locker room culture shows up on TV, and fans spot it instantly.Then we tackle the fault line between kayfabe and transparency. A new docuseries promo drops the word “scripted,” and we ask where the line should be. Is it lying to protect the mystique, or honoring the craft that makes the magic work? With Bill Apter's insider memories—including the midnight spark that helped ignite Andy Kaufman's Memphis run—this conversation threads history, present stakes, and the choices that shape how wrestling feels on screen.Hit play, share your booking fixes for the crossover, and tell us where you stand on kayfabe vs. candor. If you enjoy the show, follow, rate, and send this to a friend who loves the drama between the ropes. Your comments fuel the next mailbag, and yes—those new After Hours caps are coming to engaged listeners.Send us a text

James joins the Armchair Expert to discuss being an industrious high school reporter interviewing Louis Armstrong and Anne Bancroft, his lucky break as a studio page bringing Edward R. Murrow coffee, and co-creating the Mary Tyler Moore Show with Alan Burns.

Veteran actor Ted Knight hosts the S5 Christmas episode as SNL says goodbye to the 70s. As a present (to Gilda, we're guessing), Desmond Child and Rouge are the musical guest.While The Mary Tyler Moore Show star brings the comedic chops and appears to have a lot of fun, this episode is known more for the myth and legend surrounding it than the material itself. Andy Kaufman wrestles a woman (again) in his final Saturday Night Live appearance of the original era and the Nerds sketch is known more for its battle with the censors than for its actual content ("You can't give noogies to the Virgin Mary!").But, not all is lost! We do get a great Schiller's Reel and, did we mention the host was Ted Knight? You can't not like the guy.Speaking of guys you can't not like, we're joined once again by Ian Fermaglich who talked to a few people associated with this episode on his podcast, Ian Talks Comedy and shares some first hand stories about the night.Between The StatesBetween the States is a podcast where no topic is off-limits.

In celebration of the show now fully hitting it's 50th anniversary, we're going back to the earliest episode we've yet to cover: Rob Reiner, with no real musical guest. Except, we do get some music in the episode. We get A LOT of things, actually. Much like the show's first episode, there's a bunch of elements in the gumbo for tonight; John Belushi doing his Joe Cocker, Andy Kaufman and his record player return to the show, The Lockers do some street dancing, Albert Brooks turns in what has to be the longest pre-taped segment the show has ever aired. Hell, even Denny Dillon is there! It's a fascinating building block towards what the show would become, with a myriad of "firsts" in play and William Ham is on board to help us figure it all out!

Colin Fisher: The Collective Edge Since his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Colin Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics. Today, he is an Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London's School of Management, researching the hidden processes of helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He is the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups (Amazon, Bookshop). Most of us assume that the best thing we can do for our teams is to be a great coach as they're working together. That absolutely helps, but the research says that only 10% of group effectiveness is what we do once the team is underway. In this conversation, Colin and I explore how to get a lot better at the other 90%. Key Points The house always wins. If the structure isn't right for the team to succeed, little else matters in the long run. Leaders tend to put a majority of their attention on coaching teams in progress instead of the more significant work at the start of structuring and launching teams. Work on fixing structural problems before you focus on fixing the process. 60% of group effectiveness is determined by structure, 30% by the launch, and 10% by expert coaching. Critical for structure is the team goal being clear, important, and challenging. Be sure to document it. Negotiate roles, tasks, and jobs to support structure. Determine early how to articulate progress and highlight small wins. Ask yourself if the group has the right people to achieve the objective. Deep diversity that supports the goal is essential. Surface discussions about norms at the start, especially related to communication and storage of information. At a team launch, articulate why everyone is there, discuss key norms, and schedule a midpoint to reflect and align.
