Man on the Moon

I worked a 12-hour shift doing security on movie sets.

One of my first movies I was working on was a movie called Man on the Moon with Jim Carrey, and Miloš Forman was the director, and Danny DeVito was there, and all.

And I'm like, "Wow, this is Hollywood, man.

This is Hollywood." You know? And I was happy.

The film is loaded with references to dogs, the number 33, and Christ.

And then, as an aside, I'll even mention a fifth movie, which is Man on the Moon, where he played...

Andy Kaufman.

Andy Kaufman.

That's, that's what you've demonstrated to me.

It reminded me of, uh, that scene in Man on the Moon where Andy Kaufman gets cancer, and he goes to the crystal healer, and, uh, yeah, it's the same thing.

Yes.

He goes to see Paul and he, and he just laughs.

Gays were represented on all levels of society, huh?

I guess they were.

Did he say banana in the moon? No, he said man on the moon.

Or in the moon.

A famous British drag artist posted an Instagram image.

Man on the Moon.

The caption read, "Alexis Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris." This had a prosthetic mask, teeth, and a wig sitting on a desk with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

The internet went mental.

No.

The doc- the documentary? It's about when Jim Carrey was getting into the mode to be Andy Kaufman for Man on the Moon.

Ah.

That sounds interesting.

I'll give you your three, and then you tell me which one is live.

Number one is Jim Carrey was supposed to play the character of Craig, the trainer, but he couldn't make it work because he was filming Man on the Moon at the time.

Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan had a falling out during production.

They didn't speak for an extended period after the movie wrapped, and Will Ferrell met his wife on set, and they are still married to this day.

So he does have that ability as an actor.
