I love Man on The Moon, and was not familiar with Kaufman at all even though I probably was exposed to him as a kid... but never remembered who he was.

Only recently did I catch some clips of Kaufman performances on the Late Show and Taxi.

Yes, funny and somewhat surreal. I can imagine what he was doing was edgy for the 70’s and 80’s...

Although to this day, I still can’t work out if the wrestling thing was a hoax. It seemed to ridiculous to be real... but then maybe Kaufman’s genius was working with people who took themselves too seriously (like that wrestler) and turn it into an ongoing gag.

Who knows??? Looking forward to seeing this new film.... there’s nothing I love more than a film about a man making a film about a man.... how meta!
