Andy Kaufman’s brother says he is still alive
Comedian Andy Kaufman’s brother, Michael Kaufman, has claimed that he has been the victim of a hoax.
The buzz started when Michael Kaufman read a letter, which he claimed was from his late brother, Andy Kaufman, at a comedy club in New York on Monday.
He also introduced a 24-year-old woman, who claimed to be Andy’s daughter, to the audience.
However, in an interview with CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Michael Kaufman said that he now believes that he was the victim of a hoax.
“Now that it’s Thursday, not Monday anymore, I believe I am part of a hoax,” Kaufman said in the interview.

The Smoking Gun reported that the woman is actually an actress named Alexandra Tatarsky and her father is a psychologist.
Michael Kaufman denied the claim and told CNN, “That is not true.”
When asked if he was angry, Kaufman said, “I’m still processing it. As Andy’s brother, you learn over the years, you know, to go with the flow, kind of.”
“So I have mixed emotions. I never allowed myself to get too excited, but I was always slightly skeptical.”
The latest buzz about Andy Kaufman being alive started when Michael Kaufman told the audience at the New York comedy club that he received a letter from his late brother 15 years after his death.
Michael Kaufman went on to explain that he was going through Andy’s writings and found a reference to him “talking about faking his death” and his reappearance on Christmas Eve in 1999.
When Michael Kaufman went to the designated location, he claimed to have met the young woman who said she was Andy’s daughter.
This has led many to question the authenticity of the story and whether Michael Kaufman was indeed the victim of a hoax.
It should be noted that Andy Kaufman was known for his unconventional and elaborate pranks, so this latest twist wouldn’t be entirely out of character.
