Best known for his sweet-natured character Latka on Taxi, Andy Kaufman was the
most influential comic of the generation that produced David Letterman, John
Belushi, and Robin Williams. A regular on the early days of Saturday Night
Live (where he regularly disrupted planned skits), Kaufman quickly became
known for his idiosyncratic roles and for performances that crossed the
boundaries of comedy, challenging expectations and shocking audiences.
Kaufman's death from lung cancer at age 35 (he'd never smoked) stunned his
fans and the comic community that had come to look to him as its lightning rod
and standard bearer.
Bob Zmuda -- Kaufman's closest friend, producer, writer, and straight man --
breaks his twenty-year silence about Kaufman and unmasks the man he knew
better than anyone. He chronicles Kaufman's meteoric rise, the development of
his extraordinary personas, the private man behind the driven actor and
comedian, and answers the question most often asked: Did Andy Kaufman fake his
own death?
