Real or Fake?

Twenty years ago, on May 16, 1984, most of the world believed that we had lost a comedic legend forever. This has turned out to be what will inevitably be known as the greatest comic prank ever conceived. Andy Kaufman, by all accounts, is alive and well at age 55 and is now living in New York City on the upper west side. To his loyal supporters and fans, Andy says "sorry about faking my death," in a recent interview with ABC News at his apartment. In order to reach legendary comic status and seal his place in the history of performance art, he said it was "necessary to go away for twenty years."

Stated an ABC News interview, then backpedaled (ABC news never did any such interview).

Stated DNA test results certified by Ernst & Young, then backpedaled (Ernst & Young did not oversee any DNA testing, and threatened to sue the website owner if their name was not removed).

It lacks the style Kaufman would have had in ressurecting himself.

But perhaps it might work for Elvis...
