Andy Kaufman war ein US-amerikanischer Entertainer und Performance-Künstler. Er wurde am 17. Januar 1949 in New York City, New York, USA, geboren und starb am 16. Mai 1984 in West Hollywood. Bekannt wurde er mit seinem Anti-Humor und seiner absurden Performance-Kunst, mit der er sich bewusst vom klassischen Komikerbild absetzte. Zu seinen bekanntesten Arbeiten zählen die Fernsehserie „Taxi“ und der Film „God Told Me To“. Kaufman besuchte die John L. Miller Great Neck North High School und das Grahm Junior College.
