And Kaufman back from the grave?
NEW YORK — Andy Kaufman died of lung cancer on May 16, 1984, but according to legend, the eccentric comedian said if he were faking, he'd resurface 20 years later to the day.

So, just in case, a party is being planned by Bob Zmuda, Kaufman's best friend and partner, at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on May 16.

"Over 100 personal ads will be taken out across the country and abroad, reminding him of his words. Will he show?" Zmuda asked on the Web site for Comic Relief, a series of shows that raise money for health care for the homeless. Zmuda founded Comic Relief after Kaufman's death.

1. but would he appear as Andy Kaufman?
If he were still alive, I would imagine being true to his ways, he would show up but in disguise.

I am sure there will be stories of which guest at the party was really Andy.

8. I think he really died.
And if he was really faking it, and shows up again next Monday, then he's the smartest publicity stuntman in history.
