Good job.
I still ain’t. If he could return after, say, 27 years, would he really return after 20? It’s such a boring predictable number, isn’t it?
We might really find out the meaning of 42 once and for all!! 
I thought this was a great report, and just wanted to throw in that the first time I remember seeing Andy Kaufman on television was not on Saturday Night Live, but on a variety show that Dick Van Dyke had sometime in the mid-to-latter 70’s. He did the routine with “foreign man” doing the bad impressions followed by the spot-on Elvis Presley. If memory serves, this was at least a year or two before he ever showed up on SNL.
Andy appear on SNL starting in 1975. The Dick Van Dyke’s variety show Van Dyke and Company aired in 1976.
I first saw him in a focus group sometime in the 70s, in a tape of an old episode of the Mac Davis show, which orginally ran 1974-1976. (The point of the focus group was to test some new commercials.) He did the Mighty-Mouse bit, and the Mexican-cannonballs joke.
Nitpick: the line was “Here I come to save the day!”
Otherwise, great report, Bricker
I turned 20 a few days after Andy did that bit on the very first episode of NBC’s Saturday Night (as they called it then), and instantly knew I was witnessing a genius at work. I was a big Andy Kaufman fan from then on, although I did get a little tired of the wrestling women bit. But that was what he wanted.
I’ve just gotten the DVD set of the first season of SNL, and Andy’s bit is just about the only funny thing on that first show.
