New York City, NY (PRWEB) May 19, 2004 -- Twenty years ago, on May 16, 1984, most of the world believed that we had lost a comedic legend forever. This has turned out to be what will inevitably be known as the greatest comic prank ever conceived. Andy Kaufman, by all accounts, is alive and well at age 55 and is now living in New York City on the upper west side. To his loyal supporters and fans, Andy says "sorry about faking my death," in a recent interview with ABC News at his apartment. In order to reach legendary comic status and seal his place in the history of performance art, he said it was "necessary to go away for twenty years."

I saw Tony Clifton on TV the other day, I thought it was weird. My guess is this is some big hoax in honor of Andy but who knows. If it is true I bet Andy loves the fact that people don't buy it and therefor wo't ever give out 100% proof it is him.

I doubt it. If you're going to fake your death as a joke, why keep the joke going for twenty years? That's just silly. THen again, Andy Kaufman never struk me as totally 'sane' anyway. Could be true... maybe.

In a mostly unrelated note, in GTA:VC the cab company you can buy is called 'Kaufman Cabs' which is funny because he was on that show Taxi back in the day. thankyouverymuch.
