———-
Two years passed between the filming of this special and it’s eventual airing show that ABC probably had some trepidation in airing this unorthodox special. The 1999 Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon, the fight over the airing of this program is dramatized with one executive telling Andy’s manager George Shapiro to “tell Kaufman this network will never air this program.” While that fake network executive would eventually be proven wrong, I have to imagine their reaction to the show must have been pretty close to the unhappy faces in the movie. But the stars did align and The Andy Kaufman Special did air (not once, but again on February 29, 1980, edited down to 60 minutes).
