I’m not buying that Andy’s brother, Michael Kaufman, wasn’t in on this hoax. No way, no how. Sorry. That isn’t flying with me. They way he commanded the on stage interaction with “the daughter” tells us otherwise.
He looks like a deer caught in the headlights in this interview. He is not a good liar…
Andy Kaufman supposedly died of a rare form of lung cancer in 1984. However, at the Andy Kaufman awards this week, a woman came out claiming to be his daughter. By her age, she would have had to have been born AFTER he supposedly died.
Do I believe her?
No, I don’t. She shows a lot of cognition when she talks for one. Second, she says “I don’t feel like you are my uncle.” When someone IS your uncle, you don’t have feelings like that because its non-negotiable. They either are or are not your uncle.
She also demonstrates pacifying behaviors–but those can support honesty or a lie.
Andy Kaufman’s brother’s reactions are right either, if you ask me.
This is, as some have suggested and in my opinion, a staged hoax.

This is a low stake scenario.
I have always believed Ryan Ferguson was wrongly convicted and that his friend, Chuck Erickson lied –which lead to both of them being convicted.
His family has spoken out for years and tried to raise awareness of Ryan’s injustice and finally last week, the courts overturned their conviction!
I originally spoke out in support of Ryan back in February 2006 when I first heard about his story.
To think that Ryan will be a free man is the best news ever!!!!!
You know what I say about flippy, arrogant people when they are accused of something? It’s a sure sign of guilt. You may remember when I wrote about Rob Ford back in June. I didn’t believe him at all. And many of you also saw right through him (good job, MJ!).
Be back to writing soon!
