Andy Kaufman Is a Busboy Who Commits to the Bit in ‘Thank You Very Much’ Documentary

Andy Kaufman's documentary 'Thank You Very Much' captures comedy legend during his stint as a busboy, where he pranked customers for the bit.

In an exclusive clip from the documentary Thank You Very Much, Kaufman slips on his red apron to pour coffee and deliver food to the right tables — except he added an extra step of snatching them back up before the customer could finish eating: TikTok is flooded with videos, many of which have amassed hundreds of thousands of views, where servers are recruited to prank unsuspecting customers by taking their food away in the middle of their meal. The documentary includes commentary and interviews from Bob Zmuda, Danny DeVito, Lynne Margulies, Steve Martin, and Marilu Henner.
