"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."
