A member of The Mayhem Nation from Cincinnati, OH asked that what kind of impact did Jerry "The King" Lawler have on Andy Kaufman’s worldwide perspective? Bob was forthright in his response, despite feeling some animosity towards Lawler after the piledriver incident. "Huge, the effect of Jerry Lawler stepping forward & taking this to a whole new level by getting into the Kaufman thing & vice-versa. Kaufman bringing that to ‘Saturday Night Live’ & David Letterman…areas whe re you would never see this stuff was definitely big". Bob did add that things were not settled between him & Lawler. "One of these days you never know. I know one thing that Tony Clifton (the legendary lounge singer & whom many have classified for years as Andy’s "alter ego") would like to settle the score with Jerry Lawler. And I mean a real match between Tony Clifton & Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler."
More is covered in this exclusive & phenomenal interview with the best friend of the late Andy Kaufman, Bob Zmuda, including even more backstory about the Kaufman/Lawler feud, the early beginnings of Andy wrestling women (and being challenged by thousands from across the United States; the focal point of "Dear Andy Kaufman: I Hate Your Guts"), the psychology of Andy Kaufman’s comedy, & Bob’s plans for the 25th anniversary of "Comic Relief" in 2010. If you are in the Los Angeles area this Thursday (December 3rd), you can be a part of the special "Tribute To Andy Kaufman," sponsored by Process Media at The Silent Theater. Both Bob & Lynn Marguiles (the book’s author & Andy’s former girlfriend) will be on hand to personally greet Andy’s legions of fans.
