The Strange Way Andy Kaufman Was 'Fired' From SNL
['Michael Boyle']
TVLine
There's been no comedian on "Saturday Night Live" quite like Andy Kaufman.
Kaufman was a divisive figure on "SNL," and became even more so in 1979 when he started wrestling women (seemingly for real) on the show.
At the end of the episode on November 13, 1982, "SNL" producer Dick Ebersol told the audience on-air that he had cut a Kaufman sketch at the last moment.
Because, as Ebersol put it, "The problem is Andy Kaufman just isn't funny anymore."
Ebersol's statement wasn't quite the end of Kaufman's "SNL" tenure, however; his true firing came one week later.
