Editing Andy Kaufman (section)

===Carnegie Hall show===
At the beginning of an April 1979 performance at New York's [[Carnegie Hall]], Kaufman invited his "grandmother" to watch the show from a chair that he had placed at the side of the stage. At the end of the show, she stood, removed her mask, and revealed to the audience that she was actually comedian [[Robin Williams]].<ref>{{cite news|date=April 28, 1979|last=Maslin|first=Janet|title=Comedy: Andy Kaufman Fills Stage With Parade of Odd Characters|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1979/04/28/archives/comedy-andy-kaufman-fills-stage-with-parade-of-odd-characters.html|website=The New York Times|access-date=July 30, 2016}}</ref>

Kaufman also had an elderly woman (Eleanor Cody Gould) pretend to have a heart attack and die on stage, after which he reappeared on stage wearing a Native American [[headdress]] and performing a dance over her body, "reviving" her.<ref>{{cite book|last=Shackett|first=Barbara|date=2013|title=Stranded in Montana; Dumped in Arizona|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jnL3GnL3HfQC&q=eleanor+cody+gould+andy+kaufman&pg=PA81|publisher=Dorrance Publishing|isbn=9781434928559|access-date=July 30, 2016}}</ref><ref name="washingtonpost1979">{{cite news|date=July 1, 1979|last=Carter|first=Betsy|title=Hide-'n'-seek in Andy Kaufman's fun house|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/hide-n-seek-in-andy-kaufmans-fun-house/2014/10/06/e2e03928-4d93-11e4-8c24-487e92bc997b_story.html|newspaper=The Washington Post|access-date=July 8, 2016}}</ref>

Kaufman ended the show by taking the entire audience, in 24 buses, for milk and cookies. He invited anyone interested to meet him on the [[Staten Island Ferry]] the next morning, where the show continued.<ref>{{cite news|date=April 28, 1979|title=Comic Encore: Milk, Cookies For Audience|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2194&dat=19790427&id=Vr4yAAAAIBAJ&pg=7011,1562422&hl=en|newspaper=The Ottawa Citizen|access-date=July 6, 2016}}</ref>
