Andy Kaufman appeared on The Dating Game in 1978 as a virtual unknown, and took the kooky show a step further with an early incarnation of his Latka Gravas character from Taxi. Same accent, same earnest, innocent expression and manchildish demeanor. Andy never gives up the act, taking it to fruition with the audience and players seemingly uncomfortable and unsure of how to handle the situation: exactly the way Andy Kaufman liked it
