Re: Andy Kaufman’s Legendary Elvis Presley Impression on The Tonight Show
from the article
"While appearing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in March 1977, Andy Kaufman began with his timid foreign character routine — then stunned the audience with a pitch-perfect Elvis Presley impression. He nailed the jumpsuit, the voice, and the hip-swinging swagger so precisely that Elvis once called it his favorite impersonation. In three minutes, Kaufman turned comedy into magic — and the King back into legend."
