Never realized he was married to figure skater Tai Babilonia.

And by you posting that and me following up, I think we are proving we are both old.

Why in the world would someone want to create an elaborate hoax that Wayne Knight, of all people, was dead?

"Some of you will be glad to hear this, others strangely disappointed, but?.I am alive and well!" he joked. And after his name started trending, he continued, "Does someone have to DIE to trend? Geez!  Thanks for all the love everybody.  I didn?t know you cared. Glad to be breathing!"

Same thing with Chumlee from Pawn Stars earlier in the week. I think the idea is that if you go with an A-list celebrity obviously people are going to immediately know it's not true because they would run that on the bottom of the screen  on CNN all day long. If you go with someone that everyone knows like Newman from Seinfeld it's easier for people to believe because that doesn't seem like the kind of person that there would be a large media coverage of their death about.
