Thanks for posting this! I never knew Orson Welles interviewed Andy Kaufman. It's rare to see Andy just being himself.

If you only know the "basics" about Andy Kaufman's public persona/image, it is kind of weirdly refreshing to see him behave "normally" and humble and down to earth. I heard that Jerry "The King" Lawler didn't get along with Jim Carrey on the Andy Kaufman biopic because Carrey stayed "method" in his acting in-between takes. The real Andy when he was around Lawler, didn't act like his heelish wrestling persona when the cameras were turned off.
