The “Hey, come on Andy” at the end felt so real. People never knew if he was being serious or joking, but they DID know where and when he needed to be on stage. It just felt like someone dealing with a child who doesn’t know any better

The same guy is playing Jim Henson and Andy Kaufman. He was originally just Henson but he was a last minute replacement for Kaufman. That's why he's a ringer for Henson but is taller and thinner than Kaufman.

This looks absolutely fascinating! The cast has a lot of fresh faces too!

Who edited this video? Barely getting half a second to read the name of whoever is speaking/who they play before cutting away is obnoxious.

[Psyclonus]
