Incident with Jeff Conaway
I was wondering if anyone had read any eyewitness (or other)accounts of the incident where "Taxi" co-worker Jeff Conaway punched Andy at an awards dinner. The Zehme book gives a few versions of this event, and I recently came across an interview with Conaway (who is apparently now very religious) in which he gives his version-of-memory (he says Andy was slagging on other cast members and saying he didn't care anything about them, etc.) The Zehme book reports Andy as telling George that the incident was quite unprovoked, that he hadn't said anything like what Conaway claimed he'd said, but that Conaway was upset over Andy's attitude & work habits.
For some reason, this has always kind of intrigued me. Was Conaway a jerk and simply a mean drunk or was Andy incredibly aggravating to work with? (not that being aggravating justifies assault.) I am assuming, since this occured around other people, that someone else must have witnessed it.
