<< It's a total ripoff of Andy Kaufman happenings.
It upsets me when people think that Kennedy is doing something original. He's not.
To see how Kaufman pioneered this kind of show, watch Man on the Moon. The DVD is out, and Jim Carrey plays Kaufman very convincingly. >>
Why would it bother you, it's not like the guy claims to have invented hidden camera comedy, and neither did Andy Kauffman for that matter, but whatever. If it really bothers you then you have problems.
It makes me laugh, and I could care less if it has been done before, as long as the same skits are not done over it makes absolutely no difference to me. I bet this show does really well, actually.
