Resumen:
Cuando Andy Kaufman era un niño ya le gustaba organizar espectáculos de variedades, aunque no tuviera público. De adulto empieza a destacar como humorista y es descubierto por el cazatalentos George Shapiro, que le consigue un papel en "Taxi", una famosa serie de televisión, en la que, gracias a sus dotes cómicas, alcanza una gran popularidad. A pesar de ello, se plantea nuevos retos: con su colega Bob Zmuda crea el personaje de Tony Clifton, su "alter ego"; además, organiza espectáculos de lucha libre entre mujeres que le ocasionan numerosos problemas.
