Andy Kaufman and Jimmy Hart pose with Mr. Guy Coffee.

I recently stumbled upon the blog allegedly written by Andy Kaufman, who claims to be alive and well. With anyone else, this might be tacky, but Andy probably would have approved of some guy perpuating the myth that he faked his own death and is planning to re-emerge one day to complete the greatest practical joke ever pulled on the American public. (His writing partner, Bob Zmuda, for years predicted that Andy would return.) Wait–I just read where the blogger refers to Jerry Lawler as an “asshole.” Hey, maybe it is Andy after all.

At one point, the guy behind the blog was receiving threats, which could explain why the site hasn’t updated since June 2008. Amazingly enough, the blog received hundreds of posted comments, with several people questioning the author’s identity. Like it wasn’t painfully the obvious the guy was a fake. Or perhaps the 55-year-old Andy finally died before he could complete the ruse. You decide: Andy Kaufman Returns.
