>Last night I just caught the tail end of a film biopic essentially about the dissolution of Andy Kaufman, "Man on the Moon", played by Jim Carey. > >Now there have been several seminal TV sit-coms from the USA, that were loved over here: Rhoda, Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, Friends. And Kaufman, as Latka, was one of the main draws. Apart from this, esp. as he died quite young, I don't think a lot was known of him over here. From this film though it appears that, outside of his role in Taxi, he was, to the British senses, about as funny as a dose of distemper in a dog's home. And he was nutsoid, arrogant, single-minded in his conviction of his own talent and funniness and self-destructive. > >Did you guys really find him all that interesting and hilarious, outside his Latka role?
Not me. I agree with your last statements. Latka was funny. That's about it. His wrestling stunts were stupid. I never cared for it.
