I forgot the lead up to that bit, but I've mostly considered the blood after the sword comes out to be TV's finest moment. I've been searching for this for years since. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I remember this s a child and it freaked me out. I must have been 5 or 6 and watching it with grandma.... and she gasped and turned off the TV. I looked for this as well.... lol. So funny.
From the infamous episode of 'Fridays'......that ended up going off the air early that night.....as producer Jack Burns chased Andy around the set. I remember they cut right to commercial, at the end of the sword swallowing bit......and never made mention of it after that. For DECADES, I was convinced that it was REAL. I always wondered what happened to the poor 'Masked Magician'. I must've been SUPER high while watching the show.

Andy looks great!... hard to believe - as of last week- it's now been 25 years since he passed. ;( - & The current Masked Magician Val Valentino.... needs to see this vid. :)
"why do you wear a mask" "because I'm the masked magician you idiot" "what is your real name" I'd have never thought Andy asking for someone's real name would be so funny lmao.
Watch the Masked Muscian as he walks in. He steps up onto the stage. Also, if you look closely when they do a wide shot, you can see that they're standing on a stage and the audience is down below them.
@RS1963 Yes they were around back then, but then again they hadn't done anything like the masked magician at that time. Their act was different in the late 70s. Heck, they've even said in interviews that they were hugely influenced by Andy Kaufman.

these guys were a great shock comedy team.
Big fan of Kaufman since 1995... never saw this before!
The world needs more people like Andy.
Eric Andre is the closest thing we have to Andy
Hi Chris! Thanks so much for your work on Monday!
I'm going through my phone and I found you! Do you remember me?
Let me know, Allen Chris. Thanks 👍

kaufman was always WWF kay fabe.. all day every day
Andy Kaufman. The greatest comedic mind ever.
Revealing tired illusions while creating new ones.
* Decades later a masked magician revealed many great magic tricks on a FoTV neteork series of specials. ☺
Yeah that was Bob.
like anybdy didn;t knew that fucker
* And I thought it was Dick The Bruiser. ☺
Yeh Bob..4-
bad old bullshit..!
@@elchatodeoro1 - Do you know who he is then ?
Zmuda is wearing The Tony Clifton shirt haha
my two favorite geniuses. zmuda and kaufman had a one-of-a-kind sense of humor.
That would have to be two of a kind

“Andy kaufman” = 666
i rate all andy kaufman clips 5 stars before i watched them.
nowadays we just like them.
@@andy6677 they just removed the dislike count. Yay.
I was in this time capsule
One of my favorite Andy Kaufman skits...
Tony Clifton is the best lounge singer ever.
Hello Mike, how. are you??
What are you doing?

Cheers!

Holy cow! Penn and Teller stole his act lol!
Grail yeah, unfortunately a lot of comedians stole from Andy and Bob.
the blood is a great touch...that's funny
It's like a combination of a variety show and professional wrestling. The ending was so funny. Never laughed so hard.

"Lemme help."
LMAO!
Andy was a genius!
Good lord i about swallowed my tongue i was laughing so hard!!!!!
I just watched a couple of these, and if Andy could read the comments on these videos he'd be laughing his butt off!
I'm the real masked magician. It is a collapsible/telescoping sword. They really do exist.
Theyre fucking crazyyy!!!! hahahahah fucking Zmuda started the masked magician.. I didn't knew that hahaa.. oh men I love Andy so much
Yes most of his stuff is pranking people when they really believe it was real. Genius.
what kind of screams are in the audience? is somebody having seizures?
Obnoxious people desperate for attention.
Bob Zmuda!
Joe Simon lolol I was thinking that
Let me help and the guy coughs up blood. This is sssssoooo Andy Kaufman. Very dark humor yet funny.
My right speaker loved this video...
Andy and Bob were epic
Andy and Bob pulling off a magic trick of their own it seems.
The real masked magician. Eat your heart out Val Valentino : )
This is the real masked magician exposing magic tricks and showing how it's done
this is actually hilarious bob is a genius as well
Hi Allen, how are you? I remember you! I hope you are well thanks so much for your help! I'm not giving up on you yet! 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
* This was same Fridays episode where guest host Andy screwed up the stoned people in the restaurant sketch. ☺
Most definitely a genius job by Zmuda!!!!
the first masked magician
Brilliant bit...genius.
Nice, up load. Thank's.
"why do you wear a mask"
"because I'm the masked magician you idiot"
"what is your real name"
I'd have never thought Andy asking for someone's real name would be so funny lmao.
THE RINGS!!!
Sound is bad... Can't hear a thing...
"Let me help you." Hahaha!
"connected"!!! Made me crack up
Zmuda's character here is like a precursor to Gob on Arrested Development.
Is that Zmuda? He kind of sounds like Ricky Jay. I wouldn't put it past Jay to work with Andy.
"Here let me help" hahaha while swallowing a sword.
Honestly... did people really think that magic is real?
Google the word magician
Ha! That's one of my favorite parts too! Too bad they wouldn't let Andy using vegetable soup as fake vomit.
" What if I pulled the mask off"?😆😅🤣😂
Who knew they had a magicians union. where do I sign up.
Is it Bob Zmuda?
Deep Blue yes it is. He use to be an ex magician.
of course
No, it`s the Masked Magician you idiot!
if he "used" to be an "ex" magician, wouldn't that make him a magician?? lol just kidding around. I had to say it
You got to say his name right. It's Baaaaaaaaaaaaaob
he discovered Mr M
Doug Henning , EAT YER HEART OUT !!
I had no idea Andy invented the masked magician. The masked magician tv show totally ripped him off.
What a genius!!!
I'm pretty sure that is really Tony Clifton...... that maybe why you don't hear about him anymore. That sword may have ended his outstanding career.
hahahahahahahahahaah what ca I say? there is nothing to say. there is just room for laughter. THANK YOU, ANDY. And thank you, Zmuda.
Was Penn inspired by The masked magician? Penn and Teller seem to do a similar act, albeit, with much better.
Penn loves Andy.
@magicd00d37 It is Bob Zmuda... it's in the book Zmuda wrote about Andy...
Great little skit
Watch the Masked Muscian as he walks in. He steps up onto the stage. Also, if you look closely when they do a wide shot, you can see that they're standing on a stage and the audience is down below them.
THE MAGICIAN's UNION!!!
1:03
IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY PAINFUL
for you
Bob talks like Donald Trump here :D
@RS1963 Yes they were around back then, but then again they hadn't done anything like the masked magician at that time. Their act was different in the late 70s. Heck, they've even said in interviews that they were hugely influenced by Andy Kaufman.
omg! i think he bled when he put the whole sword down his mouth!
I agree it's Bob Zmuda, Mr. Clifton....haha
Kaufman’s the magician
wasn't that Bob Zumada?
aaron gall yes.
No, Tony Clifton, lol.
"magician's union"? that was the funniest part
And that's why you don't swallow a sword so soon after you eat. Andy was way out of line to encourage that kind of irresponsible sword swallowing.
It is Zmuda. You can see the Tony Clifton resemblance.
I hope he was ok!
I think he pushed that sword a little too hard, and that guy was really hurt. Owch!
Chuffpup lool it's a joke man.
2000 years down the drain!
That was funny shit. LOL.
It's because they're in character.
Magician on this show actually was bleeding after he did his magic
right earphone
this is a precursor to Penn and Teller
Paul Giamatti for sure
did you even try
Paul Giamatti in elevator shoes
Haha! Paul Giamatti was about 13 years old at this time. You're confusing this 40 year old TV appearance with the Man on the Moon movie.
Your speakers are on the wrong sides.
As a wise sword swallower once said: danger lies inside you.
Must be Kevin Booth. Or the backing singers from Dan the Band
The original Mister M!
Look at his shirt. The masked magician is obviously Tony Clifton.
Is that Bob Zmuda?
Doesn't Andy know how to swallow a sword? He did do it on letterman
Carl Wolfe yes Andy does. The magician in this video is Bob zmuda which used to be an ex magician. So I suppose Bob thought Andy.
Carl Wolfe,*taught
Where's the sound?
Never saw this before? This probably predated the Valentino thing by almost twenty years.
He's saying that that's the whole point of the skit.
The Greatest thing that happened to Andy Kauffman was when he got taken down by Jerry Lawler for running his mouth.
@20842 It is Bob Zmuda.
Instantly.
If tony clifton was a magician
yeah..it is definately Bob...because you can recognize his voice. hehe
quite hilarious
sounded like bob that was hilarious....
"Let me help you" lol
It wasn't a genuine sword swallowing routine, I think. Either that, or it was real and planned and he can easily swallow the sword without danger.
