Andy Kaufman fans believe he's ALIVE after photos turn up showing mystery man in New Mexico 27 years after comedian's sudden 'death'
In a tale no different from the likes of Elvis Presley sightings or Bigfoot, late comedy entertainer Andy Kaufman is said to be alive and living well in New Mexico.
Kaufman, whose abrupt cancer death in May of 1984 left fans, friends and foes alike wondering if it were all an act even at his funeral, would be 64-years old if alive today. For some, mysterious photos taken of a grey-haired man in Albuquerque suggest he

"Ibi Da!"

I think it would be the height of hilarity, if Kaufman really DID fake his death, and resurfaced after three decades.

And the masses reply, “Andy Who?”
Here he comes to save the day.
Tony Cliffton is still singing?
