Sanjaya Hoax Revealed

Click to play!Will Ferrell and company have struck again!

The hysterical video of Sanjaya claiming to be an art student who created "Sanjaya," which showed up in the TMZ mailbox earlier this week, is actually the work of Ferrell's website, FunnyOrDie.com. It really is Sanjaya in the video, and Sanjaya is really Sanjaya -- and not Bill Vendall from the Rhode Island School of Design.

It's good to see Sanjy's sense of humor extends beyond his hair.

16. Sanjaya, you own us ALL. This was brilliantly funny. You are a star - just like you were on the AI finale singing with Joe Perry. Beautifully done. Don't you ever change!

18. 100% Sanjaya is a VERY good thing!

Bill Vendall/I am Art was a brilliant piece of satire that many of us "got" and greatly appreciated. We played it over and over, laughed our butts off, read the "is this real?" and "don't you feel stupid now, fanjayas?" comments, and then laughed our butts off some more. You are a cut above the rest. Thank you for being OUT THERE with your sense of humor. You will go far.

And you can sure enough sing! I can't wait til the AI concert and your first CD!

You're making us proud.

19. You people are all ignorant a-holes for even believing for a minute that this was real. Haters, go crawl back into your caves where you belong.

Sanjaya, you are brilliant. :)

22. Wow, no kidding, really? I'm pretty sure 90% (At least I hope so.) of people weren't that stupid, Sanjaya. You just want to stay on the news, any way you can.

23. Making bigoted comments says more about the poster than anyone else.. Sanjaya may not have had the performing chops at the start of the show, but he certainly improved. He has a real soothing tone to his voice and probably sings better than 90% of the people in the 'singing' industry today.

24. Okay everybody!! Enough about this non-talented non-celebrity! Ignore him and he will go away! Do not put anymore comments anywhere about him, don't vote for anything with his name on it, and don't watch any video that he is part of! As for me I am tuning him out completely and this is my last comment about him anywhere cos I don't even remember the dude's name! Sang-who?-ah
