TONY CLIFTON AND ELVIS

"tony clifton comes back atcha this time...... as a puppet"

Andy Kaufman did Elvis impersonations while the KING was still alive. Apparently Elvis actually liked the way Andy impersonated him. Andy was THE ONLY one who did imitations of him while he was alive. This was before all the exploitation.

The 70's are long dead and gone, so enjoy this classic gem from the past why don'tcha.

JACKIE ROGERS JUNIOR - WE NEED YE

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE IN HOLLYWOOD MAKE A JACKIE ROGERS JUNIOR MOTION PICTURE ... PLEASE !!!

I would see this in a theater - I don't know why Martin Short hasn't already done this. The last Austin Powers movie wasn't that great. The only other character I would love to see in the theater in his own movie would have been Andy Kaufman's Tony Clifton character, (there actually was a Tony Clifton screenplay being passed around in the early 80's).

JACKIE ROGERS JR. IS CRAZY
Jackie Rogers Jr was the first albino Vegas star, He did all the Elvis tunes and wore lots of rhinestones and beads. His stories are great. Now his father, Jackie Rogers Sr. was mauled to death by live cougars. The tranquilized cougar was suddenly awakened by a plate of java mocha coffee beans..... I told you this guy was crazy.
This was reinacted on SCTV once in a flashback clip for his book, "Love + Genius = Jackie".

I also like the joke about the Beta machines.

Someone in Hollywood should really consider making this character into a movie. Its hysterical.
