When Andy Kaufman died at the age of 35, his funeral wasn�t attended by his costars from the sitcom �Taxi�. �We all thought this was just another one of Andy�s put-ons. None of us believed him.� (Marilu Henner). Raised on Long Island, Kaufman is perhaps best known today as his character on the sitcom �Taxi�, Latka, who was taken fairly directly from Kaufman�s onstage persona, a confused immigrant who couldn�t deliver a punchline but had a killer Elvis impression. He was also a regular featured performer in the early episodes of Saturday Night Live, until a publicity stunt encouraging the audience to vote whether to keep him or kick him off the show: they voted to kick him off, and he never returned to the show.
