“Right now I’d like to do a comedy routine.”
With these words—far more on-the-nose than a comic doing an actual comedy routine would EVER lead with—Andy Kaufman gets a laugh, and kicks off one of his finest performances, in the HBO Young Comedians Special of 1977, collected here in four clips.
Never mind that this first clip opens with “Thank you very much, that was Gallagher” from host David Steinberg; we leave that crap behind, and what follows is a spectacle of showmanship. Most of Andy’s TV guest appearances are one five or ten-minute spot featuring one premise, but here he segues from one immersive conceit to the next—starting, uncharacteristically, with what appears to be straightforward standup.

Brian Churilla of THE SECRET HISTORY OF DB COOPER is my personal art god who I find it weird enough to be friends with. Sadly, he doesn’t sell original art, no matter how much I threaten him, but he does do commissions.
He’s gonna be at Phoenix Comicon this weekend and he’s only got 3 (THREE!) commission slots left open. You can snag yours right here before the show opens or stalk Brian at Table 666 (no, seriously).
