Carrey tweeted Wednesday:
During the filming of ‘Man On The Moon’, Norm MacDonald came to join me as Andy Kauffman for a lunch on the real porch of the ‘Psycho’ house at Universal and was scare pranked by another famous Norman…

That “famous Norman” is the fictional serial killer Norman Bates from the “Psycho” series of films.
“Man on the Moon” starred Carrey as a fictional version of Andy Kaufman and Macdonald as actor Michael Richards. The movie also starred Danny DeVito, Courtney Love, Paul Giamatti and Patton Oswalt, among others.
