One of Andy and Jerry’s most famous stunts happened when the two appeared on David Letterman back in 1982. The two engaged in an intense physical fight onstage leaving the audience totally bewildered. Andy ended up with a real broken neck after a piledriver, although the whole thing was staged.

The two continued their shenanigans for years but in private they were friends. The truth was not revealed until years after the death of Andy Kaufman. When Jim Carrey played Andy in a film about his life, Man on the Moon he revealed the truth of the “feud”.
