That video was really bizarre, the interaction and conversation didn't seem natural at all.

She looks and acts A LOT like Andy in that youtube video. I could see all this being true, cause I never truly believed Andy was dead.
Andy said he'd return in 2004, well what if that was a joke too. Maybe he'll return in 2014 instead??

if...IF...this were true,3 major things could be preventing him from ever coming forward: 1) while it's not a crime to fake your death in the United States,it can cause serious criminal implications for anyone involved,including whoever called the police to report the death (i.e. filing a false police report),not to mention it could be considered fraud if you owed money for anything ( a mortgage, car payment,etc.),since they can go after you by saying you faked the death to not have to pay the bills you owed,even if that wasn't the reason. 2) Taxes. if he's still in the U.S. m the IRS would come a knockin with a surefire audit to see if he made any profit from anything for the last nearly 30 years.plus penalties and back taxes. even if he truly didn't have a job during this time and stayed at home with no income to his name (or alias),they're still gonna look. 3) pissing REAL cancer survivors or those who lost loved ones to the disease. at first,he'll be a bonafide star and celebrity again,but I can quickly see people turning against him for using a horrible disease that kills millions every year to perpetrate what is in essence a decades-long practical joke. The thing about Kaufman is/was he does/did not give a flying about any of that.

Let's be real here, Andy was the biggest deceptive piece of crapon the planet (and I mean that in the most loving way), so there's no true way of finding out what'd really happened to him, short of a public appearance and DNA testing. Keep in mind that Bob Zmuda was a creative consultant for "Man On The Moon," and he's as big of a loon as Andy himself.
I'm still on the "hoax" side, but I'm sure this is exactly how Andy would've wanted this to go.

Even if he had hoaxed his death. It was nearly 30 years ago and he was sick at the time so he'd probably be gone by now anyway.

They said the girl that was his "daughter" was an actress hired by his brother. This could just be a case of his brother carrying out a hoax in his honor, in which case it's working, because people are talking and aren't sure one way or another.
I can't post the link for some reason, but as of right now it's on the main page of aol.com

Dead or not, the fact that the Andy Kaufman story still has legs 30 years later is amazing.

I am sure Andy would still be happy that he was talked about for this.

There has always been hints about him being alive. If you do the research about his alleged funeral, it's said he was alive in the coffin during the entire thing. However many reports have said he really died 2 years after his "supposed" death date due to his illness. But other reports have said he was able to mange the disease and is still alive and everyone during that time including the police are in on it.
And if you don't want to do the research just watch the movie made about him, it's alluded in the film he was alive during his funeral because he wanted to see how people reacted to him after his death to see if they really cared or something along those lines.
he's also rumored to be crashing on the Easter Bunny's couch & reported to be Facebook friends with Elvis, Biggie, & Tupac…while dating Lana Del Rey & making an album with Axel Rose

he just released his first "comedy" album too. i'm pretty sure that everyone thinks that he's dead, but is just holding out the smallest bit of hope; and i'm not an exception.

He did always say that he was going to fake his death, but he said he would return 20 years later (which was 2004) so yeah, I doubt he's still alive. for what it's worth Bob Zmuda says he thinks Kaufman faked his death, but then actually died before he could reveal himself

Whatever the case, dead or alive, at least Andy has lived these past few days and was the number one trending subject on Yahoo and whatnot. This makes me a very happy person. Andy was amazing and for what it's worth? Oh yes, he is still alive!

Well, there are a few select people who say they saw Andy die in the hospital, namely his manager George Shapiro and Andy's ex-girlfriend Lynne Margulies. TMZ recently posted this on their site: www.tmz.com/2013/11/15/andy-kaufman-girlfriend-lynne-margulies-death-hoax/She says, "I was in the hospital room. I was there. They would have had to switch bodies." Is it possible Andy could have had the doctors and nursing staff in on the prank to make it appear as real as possible to even fool those who were in the room when he apparently died?? You never know how serious Andy wanted this to play out, you just never know. I think it's possible. But why in the world would this lady pretend to be his daughter?? Could it be Andy did have contact with her and ask her to play out the role of his daughter to try and fool his brother?? Who knows?? This whole Andy Kaufman saga just keeps getting stranger and stranger. I wonder if this is the last we'll hear of it....

Hear is the thing. Andy Kaufman could come out himself on live tv with a DNA test and I still wouldn't be 100% sure. If he can fake his death for 30 years he could find a person who looks like him and get a fake DNA test. Or he could really be dead and his brother could be continuing on his legacy and do that then reveal in 2024 that he really did die and the guy we thought was Andy for the past 10 years was a fake. Or they could have it be real dna test and really him and he could say 10 years later it was a fake test and fake andy when it was really him.
Honestly nothing his brother or the girl could say will convince me either way. Same as a possible Andy Kaufman showing up on live stage.
For all we know the government could've been in on the prank and got him a new identity. We don't really know. Andy is different then all the other supposedly alive celebrity stories. The guy had an odd sense of humor, was a known prankster, and died of the same cause at the same hospital as the character in his book. He talked about faking his death. He supposedly had cancer and treatment cost him his hair as he was bald but when he took off his shirt he had hair on his body.
As a wrestling fan I'd prefer to see Jerry Lawler in Memphhis on Raw in the ring doing a promo when a fan hops the barricade and takes off a mask and it's him inside the ring.

He's not dead. He's hiding on an island with Elvis, JFK, Tupac, Jimmy Hoffa, Michael Jackson, Chris Benoit, Randy Savage
