Andy Kauffman was a very unique comedian. For anyone that doesn't know the story it pretty much went like this. This was all staged (Letterman had no idea, no one did but Lawler and Kauffman). Kauffman had just lost a wrestling match (professional wrestling, which is also staged) to Lawler where Lawler got Kauffman with the piledriver which was a banned move at the time. This 'broke' kauffman's neck (which I'm sure was staged also, but I don't know for sure). This was the closer to the long running inside joke between Lawler and Kauffman. Andy didn't care if people got his jokes or not, the joke itself and your dumbfounded reactions were golden for Andy regardless.

No serious man would through coffee and then run that fast in the other direction. You'd know it's time for a beating. Like Charlie Murphy so eloquently put it... "YOU DON'T SLAP A MAN!"

^ Yes it was which speaks volumes on Jim Carrey's behalf. He played Andy Kauffman better than Andy Kauffman did...

i remember this scene from man on the moon. when lawler asked jim carey, "what kind of a man are you?" carey said, "that's what i am talking about! you are white-trash."

then lawler kicked his ass.

Everyone knows pro-wrestling is entertainment. FOR YEARS everyone thought the feud between Lawler and Kauffman was real, even me til someone smartin'd me up.

Those who dont know - this was Andy Ks idea. Guess what?? Andy made Lawler who he is today. Jerry "THE KING" Lawler was just a small town wrestler, wrestling in high school gyms throughout the south. When Andy came calling this blew the lid off pro-wrestling and sent THE KINGs popularity into the stratosphere.

My favorite part of the film (man in the moon) is the introduction to the wrestling match between Lawler and Kauffman. Lawler comes out to a huge fireworks display and loud music. Kauffman comes out to a guy holding two sparklers and pitiful music on a record player.

David Letterman is *NO** Talent!!! Just like Adam Sandler and Josh Hornett.. No-talent garbage being pushed through the air waves, down our throats, and they come out as Hollywood stars...
