Andy Kaufman Comes of Age

Friday, January 26, 2007

Andy Kaufman's blend of comedy and performance art involved making up strange, annoying characters and staying in character, even beyond the walls of the TV studio. His routines bewildered audiences in the '70s and '80s. But with performers like Sasha Baron Cohen, Stephen Colbert and Sarah Silverman, the world has finally caught up with Kaufman's genius. Eric Molinsky connects the dots. (photo courtesy: www.WayneWilliamsStudio.com)
