Fans Voted Andy Kaufman Off SNL
Andy Kaufman’s time on SNL didn’t end because of the show’s producers, but because of the audience’s reaction. Many people complained to NBC about Kaufman’s comedy, and the network decided to let viewers have a say. They displayed a toll-free number on the screen and invited fans to call and vote on whether Kaufman should stay. Unfortunately for him, the majority of votes were a resounding “no,” leading to his departure from the show.
