“Andy Kaufman set a date in December 1999 to meet his brother 15 years after his death. A resurrection days prior to the year 2000. He could claim to his brother ‘2000 years down the drain, you can never see that trick again without knowing how it was done’”

El hermano de Andy Kaufman, Micheal Kaufman, dice que a Andy Kaufman le encantaba la lucha libre desde pequeño. También dijo en muchos medios de comunicación nacionales que su hermano hablaba a menudo de fingir su muerte. Dice que su hermano fijó una fecha y un lugar para
There are many examples of Andy Kaufman telling several people he planned to fake his death years before he did it. Family, friends, strangers, & business associates. There are also video recordings, audio recordings, notes, journals, letters, books, film scripts & more

My surreal life: watching I love Lucy. Reminded Stephen Maddox has a song about him by
@memorialhwy
of The Harmed Brothers. It’s from his side project called the GoBloots. This is a once in a lifetime moment
“Andy Kaufman did not die on 5/16/1984. It is so interesting to know people will read this statement centuries from now and laugh at those who vehemently disagreed” Reply to show yourself to the infinite number of people who will read your opinion in the future. No rush.

I can’t record from where I am right now. My journey begins in a few hours. I have no idea where I’m going or when or if I’ll be back. Going forward a trusted associate will post for me. Keep Andy in your thoughts & imagination. I’ve had fun I hope u do too. Here’s his message:
A strange human failing. Just because you couldn’t conceive of how to pull it off doesn’t make it impossible.
If we truly believe Andy Kaufman is a genius why do we sell him short in his bid for immortality?

if Andy Kaufman ever played one of the Fridays, assistant to Kamala Harris prior to 1984 or is Jerry aware Fletcher assisted Kamala in many ways later in life. The world could be closer to an answer” Stephen Maddox

“Michael Kaufman created a smoke screen of misdirection with Al, the fake daughter, & the letter all of which are real & fake at the same time. Im now free to say Michael Kaufman met Andy Kaufman in the flesh & that’s the truth on my mother’s grave” SM 8/12/24 Potential DBC
“Andy Kaufman's brother, Micheal Kaufman, says that Andy loved wrestling since he was a child. He also told many national media outlets that his brother often talked about faking his death. He says that his brother set up a date and place to meet 15 years after his fake death”
Hi Andy!
@theandykaufman
it’s Danny Maddox. I have always believed in you. I talk to you all the time and hear your answers in my heart. I want to say thank you for everything. My life has been so much richer with you in it.
Hi Andy!
@theandykaufman
it’s a wonderful day & I’m sure you are enjoying. It blows my mind people don’t feel you are capable of the genius level illusion cheating death complete with death certificate but to not question what you were doing the year prior
Hey Andy,
@theandykaufman
how’s it going? I hope all is well with you. Everything is great with me as always. I’m attaching a clip that shows PMP using Chris Maloney to make Michael happier than he’s ever been about you.
So the road smasher makes me think of the Extreme song which makes me think of the college project where Dianne plays a robot beating me over the head with JiffyPop popcorn. Which then makes me think of the rough edits because I was assemble editing and in a hurry.
Kudos to
@amiraball
she answered the trivia so fast I didn’t even get a chance to post my hint. All names collected over the next week will be put in a hat and I’ll draw ones
Hi Andy
@theandykaufman
Thank you so much for the advice that came to me in my thoughts when I asked you while I was in the store yesterday. As always you have enriched my life so much and I am forever grateful
Andy’s freind John gray was called in as a peacemaker after Lynne called Andy’s dad. There was a week long battle to try to make his parents understand what he was doing. It ended with Andy fleeing the country

@amiraball
It’s kind of like someone with cancer vs an actor. Or a real pregnant woman contemplating an abortion versus an actor. Or Elvis versus an impersonator. I could never do a deathbed confession with complete authenticity unless I’m on my deathbed. It’s just the way I work.
“So Steve, at this point, can you come clean and let us know, for real, what you know for sure?” Andy faked his death. He wants Micheal Kaufman to open the coffin after their father dies. Andy Kaufman isn’t in the coffin. Micheal has had 11 years & refuses. He knows Andy’s wishes
“My boss Bill Shirk tried to combine wrestling with escape artistry. The main thing I remember from that time was when Sabu really kicked his ass for money owed and promises broken. Shirk had us destroy the footage of that event. It was his last” SM
“They are not lying to you. They were told to believe so they do. They saw him die. That doesn’t mean they don’t know. It means they can only say what they saw. The teacher does not lie. The teacher withholds the answer.”
Drove myself to hospital as usual. Haven’t ridden in an ambulance since 2004 can’t spoil my record. That’s the context for why the gaslight was a morbid amusement for me.
30 years ago I worked as a producer/director for bill shirk. A man who beat houdinis time in a straight jacket. A professional Wrestler who wrestled people like cactus jack and sabu. A man who was intentionally buried alive. These were skills I was already qualified in.
I’ve now had 11 Cardioversions in my life. I’ve never gone out of rhythm in less than 24 hours before. I think 4 weeks last summer was the previous record.
“Was it Friday? Was it KimChee? Kamala Harris could say for certain. It was a very fluid character from its inception. Waffling more than even its own participants would ever dream” SM
The reality is Micheal did not arrange the actress to appear as his daughter. He left that task to Al Parinello. That way Micheal could claim in complete honesty he had not arranged it. As an Andy fan she previously met Micheal & got a selfie. He literally didn’t remember her.
Remember Warren? Barney’s replacement in Andy Griffith? He was Jack Burns the producer of Fridays. Andy told him he planned to fake his death. My favorite part of this clip is how he is play acting then turns 180 when he realizes the crew is gonna kick Andy’s ass.
