Comedian and fictional archenemy of Jerry Seinfeld Wayne Knight was recently claimed as the most recent victim of a celebrity death hoax. But as he will happily tell you himself: Wayne Knight is not dead yet.

Some of you will be glad to hear this, others strangely disappointed, but….I am alive and well!

A site masquerading as Us Weekly posted the story, which claimed Knight was the victim of a fatal car accident. According to Celebuzz, the story also appeared on a similarly fake version of TMZ.

If there's a lesson to be learned here, it's that we should be critical of celebrity death reports and live each day watch every "Seinfeld" episode to the fullest.

jQuery(window).bind('load', function(){ window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({mode:'autosized-1r-organic',container:'taboola-autosized-1r-organic'}); _taboola.push({mode:'autosized-1r-sc',container:'taboola-autosized-1r-sc'}); window._taboola = window._taboola || []; _taboola.push({flush:true}); });
