Friend: Andy Kaufman is still alive
Could faking his own death be Andy Kaufman's biggest joke yet?
In 1980, legendary comedian Andy Kaufman and his writing partner, Bob Zmuda, wrote a script for a film called “The Tony Clifton Story,” based on a character of Kaufman’s. On Page 124, there is a block of dialogue intended for Kaufman to speak as himself, informing viewers of Clifton’s demise. Among the lines: “On June 12, 1980 . . . Tony Clifton, at the age of 45, died of cancer at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Hollywood, California.”
Four years later, at age 35, Kaufman himself would, supposedly, die — from cancer at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Hollywood, Calif.
It was no coincidence, Zmuda reveals in a new book, “Andy Kaufman: The Truth, Finally” (BenBella Books), written with Lynne Margulies, Kaufman’s girlfriend.
Not only does he firmly believe that Kaufman faked his death, but that Kaufman will be emerging to reveal his great prank to the world very soon.

Kaufman was smarter than that. Revealing a prank to a world that has largely forgotten or never known him would be a complete flop.

Exactly my point.
I remember him but most of the world doesn’t.

If that movie about him didn’t kill him nothing will.

I wish it were true. AK was one of the great prankster/comedians of our time.
Only thing that could make his re-appearance better is if he showed up with Johnny Carson.

If you were Elvis, would you really want to come back to images of Lisa Marie/Michael Jackson, the now plastic ex-wife,...?
He probably finally retired from working on the road crew in Bloom County.

Lisa Marie marrying Michael Jackson didn’t raise Elvis. No, but I bet it did cause a lot of spinning.
