Self-proclaimed song-and-dance man Andy Kaufman - who never considered himself a comedian - began pushing boundaries in the '70s, taking comedy and performance art to the edges of irrationality and blurring the line between reality and imagination.
After he wrestled a woman on NBC's Saturday Night Live in 1979, Andy then publicly offered to shave his head, pay $1,000 to, and marry any woman who could beat him.
The self-proclaimed "World's Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion" traveled around the country holding wrestling matches in any venue he could find: comedy clubs, mud-wrestling joints, college campuses, sports arenas, even on airplanes and in his own home ... Wherever there was an angry and willing female. He retired undefeated.
The hate mail poured in and was recently published in the book, "Dear Andy Kaufman, I Hate Your Guts!" Now, you can remember this late iconic comedian at his best in this hysterical DVD, culled from Kaufman's private collection, compiled and edited by his girlfriend and archivist Lynne Margulies.
