20 years from the day he was pronounced dead of lung cancer at age 35, a press release and website launched claiming that Andy had returned. The website is actually a blog with the reportedly returned from the dead Kaufman explaining what he's been doing for the past two decades, how he plans to prove the real Andy Kaufman is alive, and what he is going to do now.
Obviously, reaction has ranged from scepticism to shouts of sacrilidge. As far as I'm concerned, I think it's a hoax. Mostly because of what Snopes.com points out in their investigation of Andy's return.
It's still all fun to read about. One, just to watch how people react to what is happening on the Andy Kaufman Returns website. Two, because we are talking about Andy Kaufman here - there is a possibility this could be legit. I doubt it, but it does make the whole thing a lot more fun.
