Throwback Thursday!

Today is Throwback Thursday, and today's choice might be a little bit of a surprise, but it is definably a great and an innovator. This Sunday I watched the Jim Carey movie Man on the Moon. I remembered the greatness that is Andy Kaufman. Before Tom Green, Ashton Kutcher, Jamie Kennedy and any other prank or stunt show Andy Kaufman pulled stunts on real shows and only a select few were in on the joke. He added an alternative style to comedy that is now used by acts like Demitri Martin. As a frequent guest on David Letterman, SNL, and the short lived Fridays he would pull different stunts that seemed crazy at the time. Andy Kaufman was a true genius and on May 16, 1984 we lost him to Cancer. Here are just a few of his many infamous stunts.
