I'm glad people are beginning to talk about the fact that this Sunday, it will be 20 years to the day since the death of Andy Kaufman. You see, it is said that even before his diagnosis of cancer, Andy plotted what he called, "the greatest put-on of all time." Namely, that he might fake his own death, and return exactly 20 years later to make the wildest performance in the history of comedy.

Sunday May 16, the House of Blues in LA will host "Andy Kaufman — Dead or Alive?" featuring Tony Clifton and the Cliftones, Jerry "The King" Lawler, and others.

Check out this article in the LA Weekly for details.
