Has he returned or is this all a big hoax? 'Sorry about faking my death. It was the only way to seal my status in history as a legendary performance artist. I want to be remembered for so much more than having played Latka on Taxi. The worst part was lying to my family and closest friends.'

  • My mother, it was rumored, in fact, never had intercourse until several years after my birth. I know, it sounds crazy. All I can tell you is what I heard. You'll have to decide for yourself what to believe. posted by Andy Kaufman heh. this is good.
  • I only wish.
  • Who in their right mind would believe that one of the first thing Andy Kaufman does after "returning from faking death" is to create a blog. This is obviously some unemployed tech sector guy with a lot of time on his hands (not that there's anything wrong with that...). Funny stuff though
  • Heee heee heee. I love the internet.
  • I know a guy who faked his own death. But I'm not linking, because he's already copped massive embarrassment over this and the coppers have threatened to charge him for the costs of the investigation. Bad idea!
  • I faked a guy who knew his own death.
  • Maybe that John Titor (sp?) time-traveler guy and ol' Andy are one and the same?
  • I'd say this wasn't real, but this is so obviously not real that it makes me wonder if it IS real, and, you know, he's fucking with us on about six different levels. He'd do that, because he's actually God.
  • Andy Kaufman never actually existed.
  • Ah HAH, Nostrildamus! That's just what he WANTS you to think!
  • I killed a guy who named his own fake.
  • I faked a kill on a guy who named his own. *hangs head in shame for having contributed to the noise
  • I think Janeane Garofalo has it right in saying that he's been fucking with us all in the form of Ann Coulter all this time. Ever notice the adam's apple?
  • There's a press release! It must be true!
  • From the press release: Kaufman
  • How can they toy with our hopes and dreams? I agree with baby: it's so ludicrous and so desirable that I'm actually wondering if this is true. It'd be much cooler than when Dave Eggers faked Adam Rich's death.
  • I faked my life :(
  • Wouldn't it have been announced after the House of Blues event? I'm not convinced.
  • Am I really, truly, the only one who just doesn't get the whole Andy Kaufman thing? ::baffled::
  • Hey, you guys should REALLY check out the Bunny Ranch photos. Seems Bob Zmuda is behind this after all, which makes it more than marginally interesting.
  • Read it all, and now my fake head huuurts! /feigns headache
