Party Set for Andy Kaufman, Just in Case
May 8, 6:37 PM EST

Andy Kaufman died of lung cancer on May 16, 1984, but according to legend, the eccentric comedian said if he were faking, he'd resurface 20 years later to the day.

So, just in case, a party is being planned by Bob Zmuda, Kaufman's best friend and partner, at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on May 16.

"Over 100 personal ads will be taken out across the country and abroad, reminding him of his words. Will he show?" Zmuda asked on the Web site for Comic Relief, a series of shows that raise money for health care for the homeless.

9. Took me at least 10 years to "get" his humor

I started to understand it.

Originally, I thought he was hilarious as Latka.

Anything else, I thought it sucked. Now, I think I understand some of it.

5. So THIS is what my sister was talking about!

Last week she emailed me "did you hear about Andy Kaufman" -- and then left for the day. I've forgotten to ask her about it since. Now I get it.

Thanks!

8. I agree with the poster above--this is great

to still be laughing and half-expectant thanks to Andy, 20 years later. It would be the greatest moment in show biz if he actually showed up. If he came in Elvis gear it would send me to my own grave!

I know, I know, but as a fan who loved him for his entire, brief career, I'll always hope.

10. The true sign of his genius...

is that when he died, I assumed it was some kind of performance-art stunt. And if he shows up in LA on Sunday, a big part of me won't be suprised in the least.
