Andy Kaufman’s Full Discography

Every bit of media of Andy Kaufman out there sorted into chronological order and categorised.

With Andy Kaufman, it’s important to be able to understand clips in relation to each other. For example, in a Fridays TV Special he hosted, he did a sketch at the end where he got into a big fight with cast over not wanting to read the lines. Then the next week, seemingly forced by the director sitting next to him, had to give an apology.

A guy called Joe did most of the leg work in archiving the brunt of the catalogue. I created a spreadsheet where I synced up a table of television appearences from Kaufman’s wikipedia and a list of life events found on a fan site, then scoured the interwebs for any extra clips, seperated some compilations out and renamed some for clarity. There are still many tv apperances missing and dates of stand up club nights possibly recorded, but neither anywhere easily findable.

For a a much longer list of life events with videos mixed in click here. Plus any suggestions or fixes are super welcome.

First I’ll show it categorised into 4 blocks, then at the end I’ll show it all together. All links are easily downloadable.
