Andy Kaufman Returning?

[KayfabeMan]

WEST HOLLYWOOD — Andy Kaufman had said if he were going to
fake his own death he would return 20 years later to the day.

That would be Sunday, May 16th.

So, his pals have rented out the House of Blues on the Sunset Strip
in West Hollywood for that night in hopes he'll show up - along with
paying fans, of course.

Even if Andy Kaufman doesn't show, there will be a night of comedy
- with Rodney Dangerfield, Caroline Rhea, Bob Oedenkirk, Andy Dick,
wrestler Jerry Lawler & Paul Rudd (who plays Phoebe's husband Mike, on "Friends"),and others.

And, Bob Zmuda as Tony Clifton provides the musical entertainment.

Details are at www.comicrelief.org

Andy's laughing it up with Tupac and Elvis.

[Rob]

If he shows, I'll eat this keyboard.

Then I'll call up Owen Hart, Tupac and Elvis for a chat.

[PureHatred]

You'd laugh just as much either way.

[Dave Youell]

Hmmmm,

Interesting

[Mr. Nerfect]

His friends and family have hopes, so why can't we. If he's still alive, :y: if not, Rest in Peace :(.

[Blue Demon]

coool

don't know if it's holding out hope that your family member played a sick trick on your ass. :p

[AareDub]

:lol: Crazy stuff.

[Innovator]

Kaufman would return, see Andy Dick there, and walk away

lol, even after his death, the joke's still on us.

[Mr. Nerfect]

don't know if it's holding out hope that your family member played a sick trick on your ass. :p

I thought of that. First I'd be all :y: then all :mad: for holding out on me.

[Vastardikai]

I thought of that. First I'd be all :y: then all :mad: for holding out on me.


Of course, that's Kaufman's style, too. He's a genius.

[Rob]

My keyboard is still here by the way.

[#1-norm-fan]

They were talking about this on Don and Mike today. Zmuda doesn't even honestly think he'll show but it should be good times anyway. I should watch Man on the Moon or something. :y:

[Rob]

Ok why did I just read on Yahoo he returned?

[#1-norm-fan]

link?

[#1-norm-fan]

Seriously. If he did return and the only thing that reported it was a small blurb on Yahoo... it's probably be best to just stay out of the limelight from now on.

[The Naitch]

yeah I read that too. I wonder what Jim Carrey thinks about this whole situation?

[Disturbed316]

Crazy stuff

[Loose Cannon]

Wait a fricken second here. Is this true or what?

[Disturbed316]

Seems to be

[The Naitch]

Isnt faking your own death a crime?

[Kane Knight]

wow.

[Kane Knight]

Isnt faking your own death a crime?
Depends.

[The Naitch]

I'd laugh if Kauffman went to jail. Think about it. He finally "comes back" to life. Then the next thing he knows, he's spending a good part of what's left of his life, in jail.

[Disturbed316]

Isn't it only a crime if you do it as part of an insurrence scam? or something?

[Kane Knight]

I'd laugh if Kauffman went to jail. Think about it. He finally "comes back" to life. Then the next thing he knows, he's spending a good part of what's left of his life, in jail.
I wonder if the last laugh would be worth it.

[Kane Knight]

Isn't it only a crime if you do it as part of an insurrence scam? or something?
Yeah, basically if your only intent is to defraud or something.

[The Naitch]

He'd probably be the most popular guy in jail anyways, in a non-ass rape kinda way. A win win situation.

[Mr. JL]

This is F'd up.

[Kane Knight]

He'd probably be the most popular guy in jail anyways, in a non-ass rape kinda way. A win win situation.
Come on, a pro wrestler best known for beating up women? He's be the assrape king. :p

[Kane Knight]

This is F'd up.
This is me not arguing.

[Loose Cannon]

Well if it's true, that's classic Kauffman right there. I love that guy.

[Savio]

Andy's laughing it up with Tupac and Elvis.
Not to mention Hitler

[The Naitch]

Hitler is probably too busy growling like Goldberg

[Rob]

If he shows, I'll eat this keyboard.

Then I'll call up Owen Hart, Tupac and Elvis for a chat.

I need tomato sauce and a phone book.

[Deceit]

NNNNNNNNNNNOPE.

[Rob]

He says some people will think it's a hoax though. We'll soon see for sure I guess.

[#1-norm-fan]

WTF!? How does this get on Yahoo and all? Crazy.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol @ some of the quotes. His mom says "It's good to have Andy back."

[KayfabeMan]

:lol:

[Disturbed316]

What did he 'die' of?

[Rob]

"Cancer"

[Disturbed316]

ta :y:

[Kane Knight]

I wouldn't be totally surprised if he was still alive. The guy was brilliant in his routines, from the more mundane to the totally crazy. If anyone could pull it off, it'd be Andy.

However, I've not seen enough to make me a believer.

Maybe the joke's on me, I don't care.

[Nowhere Man]

Andy Kaufman was a comedic genius. He could pull off a stunt and have the whole world playing right in the palm of his hand. Kaufman was truly a master of provocation.

But Andy Kaufman is also dead. Yeah, he did a lot of things that were tacky, but I doubt he'd be tasteless enough to mock cancer patients. I mean, he's not a McMahon.
