Thanks for that!

Tony Clifton was the best part of Man on the Moon, imo, including when he showed up on the set of "Taxi" with those 2 hookers.

I got all turned around and bent because I saw Netflex's Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton, before I ever heard of The Man on The Moon.

Check out Jim's 2017 documentary on making the Man On The Moon; all the crazy stuff was happening on the set, behind the scenes.

Ah, it's on YouTube!
