He is correct. The daily show is unwatchable.

Didn't end well for him, either.

For reasons not to do wrestling matches, see Andy Kaufman.

agreed. It’s contrived.

It was a worked angle, just as this is.

If one looks closely, one can see that the wrestler didn't really bitch slap him. It is no wonder that the wrestling federation sent Kaufman checks as they would any performer (they were never cashed).

I thought he got dropped on his head, doing permanent damage, leading eventually to his death.

This is one occasion where “Not my circus. Not my monkeys,” applies in fine fashion, at least until the law of unintended consequences has its effect on some jacka$$ bound to cross my path.

Lawler used a pile driver. The move gives the appearance of being dropped on your head. If properly executed, no harm will result. If improperly executed, serious injury and even death can result.

Lawler and Kaufman practiced this routine in the gym, of course.

No. Andy Kaufman died of lung cancer. Andy never smoked and was a vegetarian, too so go figure. The fall on his head certainly hurt, but Andy exaggerated it for show business effect. video of famous slap (language caution). Before they were in movies, The Three Stooges were really slapped by Moe and Ted Healy. It had to be done for entertainment purposes.

I don’t know who Seth Rolins is but I agree with him about The Daily Show.

It is awful.

No. It did not lead to his death

No. Andy Kaufman died of lung cancer.

Wow. Truly bizarre.

But no more bizarre than Andy Kaufman in life. That observation has probably been made countless times already.

I actually thought all these years that the pile driver started him on a path of declining health. Thank you for setting me straight.
