If Andy Kaufman never got lung cancer and was still alive as of 2022, what do you think he would have done? He would probably be having lots of fun with social media. Also, you just know Vince McMahon would have hired him at some point to work with one of their top faces.

I'd say definitely Celebrity HOF, but then again, the pop star who helped spearhead the Rock 'n' Wrestling boom isn't there yet.
He'd get lost in the shuffle with everyone trying to work each other into a shoot these days, though.

The idea of Andy Kaufman with a twitter account sounds like it would be either a disaster or a gold mine, nothing in-between.

I imagine he would be like Iron Sheik in having someone do his twitter feed and Andy would all the while be laughing that fans think it's him tweeting.

I'd like to think there's an alternate universe were Andy ended up being like Howard Stern. TV was too ridged but radio could contain his creativity.

He’d be Tim & Eric before Tim & Eric. Adult Swim would snap him up early on quick.

Honestly and I say this as someone who likes him, a lot of people would have probably got tired of him years ago

Honestly and I say this as someone who likes him, a lot of people would have probably got tired of him years ago I can see people getting bored with him and him getting increasingly desperate for attention. Or I could see him retiring and spending his time meditating. While Bob Zmuda keeps doing increasingly crass and outrageous stunts and trying to make people think its Andy.

What do you mean "if" he had lived...?

Not only did he present absurd things on stage, but find any of the TV specials he did, and you'll see where T&E got their inspiration, complete with fake low-budget trickery and all.

It sounds messed.up, but the dead ones cant release new shitty material that detracts from how great their old stuff was.
