MY BREAKFAST WITH BLASSIE

Still wearing the neck brace from his wrestling “injury”, Andy Kaufman is filmed having breakfast with Wrestling Legend “Classy” Freddie Blassie at a local Sambo’s Restaurant (later to become “Denny’s” after people complained that the name “Sambo’s” was racially insulting).

Kaufman is rude to people who recognize him, is nearly puked on by a “fan” (actually this is Bob Zmuda, Kaufman’s friend, chronicler and sometime “Tony Clifton” double) and then manages to demonstrate the fake “hanging booger” he wants to market. Blassie buys one of these from Kaufman for a buck.

Nothing much else happens except that they eat and talk. This, I guess, was supposed to be the “charm” of this program. It must have worked because I bought one of these tapes!
