No he’s not.
Sorry, Twitter, been having a productive morning before being sidelined by the "@iWayneKnight Is Dead" hoax, but Newman lives another day!

Knight confirmed that he is still among the living.
Some of you will be glad to hear this, others strangely disappointed, but….I am alive and well!

This Wayne Knight thing is the reason to always check before you start saying someone has died.
