Well Andy moved on with Conan to be on the new TBS show, but what happened to their drummer Max Weinberg? Did he decide to stay with Bruce Springsteen?
Maybe it would be different if I was in his shoes but I can't understand how someone goes from an a struggling actor just looking to support themselves to Someone whose unhappy with a great gig like late night with Conan O Brien. To call himself Ed McMahon is really selling himself short.
It seemed (to me anyway) that it took a while for Andy to get back into the 'groove' as being the Andy (i.e., Conan's "sidekick") we all know and love on the new TBS show.....but it's clear he's now back, and in GREAT form again.
I get the impression that people don't fully appreciate how difficult a job it is to constantly be funny, when you're only able to interject a thought here and there, when stuck down at the far end of the couch.
Kind of like being a good pinch-hitter in baseball...
I never saw it as just Conan - but a comedic duo - Andy and Conan, and most fans will tell you its Andy that gets to have his name come first. When the word slipped out Andy was coming back, I remember fans going ape $h!7. Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Beavis and Butthead, Andy and Conan.
they are going to be a part of entertainment history, that future comedians will admire and pay homage to.
This interview makes me sad that Andy feels this way and then after 'Andy Richter Controls The Universe' went back to Conan as his fall back. Andy makes me laugh more than anyone else on Conan and he does it with only snippets. He shouldn't see himself as the sidekick but as a part of the show. and for the record I love andy's laugh!
andy, you suck, you kill conans funny mojo.... Go somewhere else, get off the show please. I like watching late night tv because of conan, and ur killing it.
Looks like Andy fell through every showbiz crack. Two years prior he laughs about it and elueds that he would have to be desperate to return as Conans side-kick -- poor guy is crying these days rather than laughing.
Personally, I just don't think Andy is funny enough to be a comedic actor.. but I love him on Conan's shows, I just feel bad that he will always, ALWAYS be Coco's sidekick.
He might have been asked to leave by Lorne but he really left to do that show on Fox he mentioned "Andy Richter Controls the Universe." Of coure, it lasted less than a season and he hasn't had much of a career since. And he's not a very good actor, he was great as a late night sidekick but he wanted more. He makes that very clear in this interview. He wasn't pushed out.
I like him & Conan & all,but he was asked 2 leave by Lorne Michaels back then.Also i bet he didn't "decide" not to take his % of Coco's severance package!
@gherch - A National Esquire Photographer - Caption "Andy Goes out in blaze of Glory breaking out a bottle of Tequila and tells Conan to Stuff it on the Air".
Conan's late night show got better after Andy quit. It seemed like Conan was always trying to keep up with Andy while he was there and was never quite himself.
@spacegeek I wonder if Andy felt a little awkward about leaving and coming back. That could have been why he was kissing up. Plus I can tell you from being on the radio myself sometimes you aren't aware that you're doing something until you play back the tape. I hope Andy joins Conan on TBS and they tear things up! I just hope they don't get too raunchy. I liked what they were doing with the Tonight Show. I thought "Twitter Tracker" was hilarious!
I just want to add one thing. Andy and Conan have a chemistry that even Johnny and Ed didn't have. Chemistry like this is rare and we were lucky to get to see it. We might not see it again but I hope we do.
@2taggs2 yeah cuz watching the current show on tbs, there are moments where andy gets to put in a zinger or two and you feel awesome for him because he rarely has anything to do besides announcing at the beginning and i could always tell when conan is on the roll and you hear andy in the background trying to respond off of that but conan becomes into it too much that he has no choice but to retreat and it makes me cringe because you never know what brilliant comeback he might've had.....
One of the funniest Conan - Andy skits was when Conan had Larry King on, and Larry was taking pot shots at Andy then Andy got up and kicked Larry Kings head off... a manequin that looked like king. OMG I wished Andy could have done that for real. Can't wait to see you guys in Sept..
Watching Them on the Tonight show I grew to appreciate Andy and Conan even more. Conan at least let Andy have some funny lines where Ed was never allowed to top Johnny. I thought Andy made a great contribution to the Tonight show.
@WFTL14 agreed. his side remarks to conan's or a guest's comments were VERY funny and witty. I really liked skits in which he was involved, as well. great guy. amazing talent. so sad that he hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves.
@WFTL14 i agree, especially if you watch the first show June 1st, Andy was not that good, he had a fake laugh and kissed ass, until the next week, they had there old chemistry back. and i liked that Andy better
Did you even listen to the clip? The interviewer DOES ask Andy if/when Conan takes over the Tonight Show, would Andy consider going back to join him. Andy flat-out says "No."
@DungaroosRFun2 Conan was told he was taking over the Tonight Show and the deal was done on September 27, 2004. Maybe he was referring to not wanting to do it when it came time to switch.
@DungaroosRFun2 Towards the end they mention that Conan is in line to get The Tonight Show and ask if he is interested in going back for that. His answer? "No. No." So I'm sure that is what they are talking about.
@DungaroosRFun2 He says right in the video that he wouldn't do the Tonight show, obviously his plans didn't work out because he did do the tonight show. Or he was just lying to surprise everyone.
@MaxBialystock Being on his own didn't quite work out, he had three shows; Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Quintuplets and Andy Barker P.I. They were all canceled.
can't this guy just enjoy interviewing, joke'n around and enjoy conversions with the stars, not like anybody gets to do that and get paid for it. but i don't know follow ya dreams Andy. in time they do come true. even if it is for 7 months sheesh, better once then never. for Conan.
Andy's the man. Extremely underrated in my opinion. And I definitely understand how he feels but to me he's always been a lot more than a sidekick. I never looked at him like he was just Conan's crutch or something. He is just seriously funny. I hope Andy will control the universe someday.
@sigurjong i used to always watch conan back in the day just for andy's little quips. i love his quick, dry wit. i was so disappointed when he left and even more when his series didn't take off.
after hearing this... I just feel bad for him... conan at least got a good taste of his dream, he was there for that moment however long it lasted... it seems like andy never got there
brickman must be a leno fan sry that andy and conan are funnier than him wait and see this whole nbc mess will only make them more popular than leno and by the way you suck richter is one of the most underatd comedians out there what r u doing u probably spend ur life playing video games and watching vids on youtube and maybe even live with ur parents or in a run-down apartment and like coolpilot sort of said brickman sucks at least coolpilot is a good name brick means ur probably fat u hipocrit
What are you talking about arrogant? He said it was the best that happened to him! And he's just saying he wanted to be an actor! He's saying he didn't want to be pigeon-hold. Geeze you guys.
I agree, I was going to stop the video early but I watched the whole thing to try and see what everyone was talking about and I didn't see it.
Where does he imply he is better than conan? He just said that it was good but he needs to accomplish his own goals and realized that he can't piggy back his whole life.
He never said he was better than conan but you could tell he was bitter that he wasn't able to prove to the world he wasn't anything more than a sidekick. that's fair enough, but just the way he was saying it made him seem arrogant. I means seriously andy, its being the sidekick on the TONIGHT SHOW not being the sidekick on last call with carson daly.
Andy Richter has a big ego, he is not this humble funny fat man that he plays on TV. If you look at him closely in the eyes he looks like a sociopath.
I disagree. The comedic punctuation that Conan needs is awkward silence -- it worked for many years on "Late Night" after Andy left and that's when the show became popular.
Though when Andy left, Max filled the void to a degree. Personally, I liked the awkward "tension" between the Conan and Max more than the inane banter Conan and Andy shared.
And lots of people do. That isn't "retarded", it's an opinion. Heaven forbid someone has one that differs from you, right? You should try a new example.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No I shouldn't. I know lots of people do. That's the very point I was making. People who think FF7 is the best in the series are obviously only conforming to the popular consensus, which means that they are incapable of formulating an opinion on their own. Granted it is theoretically possible for someone to make an informed decision that FF7 truly is their favorite without any outside influence, but I submit that the former is far more likely.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think FF7 is the best of the series by far. And I played it BEFORE it was the cool FF game to play. You're assuming a very generalized stance and trying to make it fit into a very flawed argument.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
to edenfire:
There was no BEFORE. The game sold millions of copies upon it's release. The real question is did you play the final fantasy games that appeared on the snes before FF7 came out and turned the series into a cultural phenomenon. If you did, good for you.
to azncaliguy22:
Go stick your hand in a garbage disposal you obnoxious prick.
@dreyersg Lol, not sure how this FF7 argument got started on this video only saw it and needed to comment. FF7 was my first FF game, since then i have played every one through to completion except 1, and you are right, it is easily the best FF game they have made and everything since has just been an attempt to equal it. They haven't done it yet, or even really come that close.
yeah but he was good at acting and his shows were good but there want any interest for 2 reasons 1 reality shows are destroying tv and 2 he was known as a sidekick well those are my opinions
Andy was actually pretty funny and entertaining when he was on Late Night with Conan. However, the moment he left up until now he's just become an annoying douche.
Andy adds the whimsical side of the tonight show, without him Conan would seem cold and alone. I love Andy will try it! Stop fucking Conan and his crew! NBC's whole team is babies...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Andy just realizes what most people knew a long time ago. Conan is not funny at all. If anything it was Conans dream to destroy a number 1 rated show in it's time slot in less than 6 months. And I'm sorry Andy, your not funny either which is why you and Conan do so well together.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Phawkers, Your the douche! Anyone with an ounce of brains knew Conan would fuck up the Tonight Show. I guess that means your brains weigh .4 ounces. I'm shocked you know how to use a computer. Even an earth worm has bigger brains than you obviously have.
Totally agree. You guys need to understand that even if you're fans of Conan and Andy, from a mainstream POV, Andy does not make the show work. He needs to go. Sure, he doesn't want to do the show, but he wants to make money. I'm sorry.
if you're watching conan for a slick leno-esque monologue you're doing it wrong, the funniest moments come from the improvised, genuine comedy between bits. anyone can tell a warmed over paris hilton joke.
I think Conan and Andy have awesome chemistry. they are both very clever, very intelligent guys, and their sense of humors seem to feed off each other. At first I wasn't sure about Richter rejoining the Tonight show, but now I wouldn't want it any other way.
I don't like Andy on the show. He could be a funny comedian, but on the show it don't work. I think if the show is mainly failing cuz of Andy he should do what is right for his friend and leave the show. It's the truth isn't it? If you know your friend will be out of a job and his show will plummet cuz of you. Wouldn't u quit instead of bringing him down with you? If Andy knows this he should definitely follow through. Unless hes in a binding contract then we're all fucked
@statman06 them being friends is fine And I'am even ok with Andy's plan of falling back on Conan's show as a crutch for safety. But if people don't find him funny or don't like what they see, they r entitled to there opinions and ultimately it's up to the people themselves whether or not the show should stay or go. And god forbid that it should go but from what I hear and I'am not going to confirm it but I heard NBC is looking to replace Conan with Jerry Seinfeld as a talk show host.
I'm so glad he came back. It's not Conan without Andy

Andy Richter Controls the Universe was an AWESOME show. FOX doesn't know what's good.

I think the one with the ego problem is the person who is raving about sociopathic(is that a word?) comedians.
But seriously man, I don't know what you have against this guy. You seem, kinda....deranged.

Why the hell did he do the show if he proclaimed that he wasn't interested? Maybe it is time to retire, Andy.
goodfellabeats 2 years ago
What are you talking about arrogant? He said it was the best that happened to him! And he's just saying he wanted to be an actor! He's saying he didn't want to be pigeon-hold. Geeze you guys.

I agree, I was going to stop the video early but I watched the whole thing to try and see what everyone was talking about and I didn't see it.
Where does he imply he is better than conan? He just said that it was good but he needs to accomplish his own goals and realized that he can't piggy back his whole life.
ArcaneInquisitor 2 years ago
He never said he was better than conan but you could tell he was bitter that he wasn't able to prove to the world he wasn't anything more than a sidekick. that's fair enough, but just the way he was saying it made him seem arrogant. I means seriously andy, its being the sidekick on the TONIGHT SHOW not being the sidekick on last call with carson daly.

You guys are right. This guy is arrogant. I can't believe Conan brought him back if this is his attitude. I wonder if he will follow Conan to Fox.

Read between the lines, he's saying, "I didn't want to share the spotlight with Conan, I wanted all of the attention on ME."
What an ego problem this guy has. I've noticed that Conan actually likes Andy much more than Andy has EVER liked him.

Andy Richter has a big ego, he is not this humble funny fat man that he plays on TV. If you look at him closely in the eyes he looks like a sociopath.

even when andy was still with conan on late night i remember guests who were asking andy what the hell his job was on the show in the first place ...

He definitely provides the comedic punctuation that Conan needs. Maybe now Andy can get that second wind he needs after his first show.
JesusManson323 2 years ago 3
I disagree. The comedic punctuation that Conan needs is awkward silence -- it worked for many years on "Late Night" after Andy left and that's when the show became popular.
leroyinc 2 years ago 3
Though when Andy left, Max filled the void to a degree. Personally, I liked the awkward "tension" between the Conan and Max more than the inane banter Conan and Andy shared.

leroyinc you are a douchebag poseur. I bet you think Final Fantasy 7 was the best game in the series too. Don't you? Retard...

And lots of people do. That isn't "retarded", it's an opinion. Heaven forbid someone has one that differs from you, right? You should try a new example.

No I shouldn't. I know lots of people do. That's the very point I was making. People who think FF7 is the best in the series are obviously only conforming to the popular consensus, which means that they are incapable of formulating an opinion on their own. Granted it is theoretically possible for someone to make an informed decision that FF7 truly is their favorite without any outside influence, but I submit that the former is far more likely.

I think FF7 is the best of the series by far. And I played it BEFORE it was the cool FF game to play. You're assuming a very generalized stance and trying to make it fit into a very flawed argument.

to edenfire:
There was no BEFORE. The game sold millions of copies upon it's release. The real question is did you play the final fantasy games that appeared on the snes before FF7 came out and turned the series into a cultural phenomenon. If you did, good for you.

@dreyersg Lol, not sure how this FF7 argument got started on this video only saw it and needed to comment. FF7 was my first FF game, since then i have played every one through to completion except 1, and you are right, it is easily the best FF game they have made and everything since has just been an attempt to equal it. They haven't done it yet, or even really come that close.

Andy was actually pretty funny and entertaining when he was on Late Night with Conan. However, the moment he left up until now he's just become an annoying douche.

Andy just realizes what most people knew a long time ago. Conan is not funny at all. If anything it was Conans dream to destroy a number 1 rated show in it's time slot in less than 6 months. And I'm sorry Andy, your not funny either which is why you and Conan do so well together.

@Phawkers, Your the douche! Anyone with an ounce of brains knew Conan would fuck up the Tonight Show. I guess that means your brains weigh .4 ounces. I'm shocked you know how to use a computer. Even an earth worm has bigger brains than you obviously have.

Totally agree. You guys need to understand that even if you're fans of Conan and Andy, from a mainstream POV, Andy does not make the show work. He needs to go. Sure, he doesn't want to do the show, but he wants to make money. I'm sorry.

so glad Andy's back. it was mildly devastating as a teenager when he left... Conan's great on his own, and so is Andy. but together? magic.

man how can anyone hate on andy.
if you're watching conan for a slick leno-esque monologue you're doing it wrong, the funniest moments come from the improvised, genuine comedy between bits. anyone can tell a warmed over paris hilton joke.

I think Conan and Andy have awesome chemistry. they are both very clever, very intelligent guys, and their sense of humors seem to feed off each other. At first I wasn't sure about Richter rejoining the Tonight show, but now I wouldn't want it any other way.
squeege421 2 years ago 6
I don't like Andy on the show. He could be a funny comedian, but on the show it don't work. I think if the show is mainly failing cuz of Andy he should do what is right for his friend and leave the show. It's the truth isn't it? If you know your friend will be out of a job and his show will plummet cuz of you. Wouldn't u quit instead of bringing him down with you? If Andy knows this he should definitely follow through. Unless hes in a binding contract then we're all fucked
TheRealDEATHERON 2 years ago
@statman06 them being friends is fine And I'am even ok with Andy's plan of falling back on Conan's show as a crutch for safety. But if people don't find him funny or don't like what they see, they r entitled to there opinions and ultimately it's up to the people themselves whether or not the show should stay or go. And god forbid that it should go but from what I hear and I'am not going to confirm it but I heard NBC is looking to replace Conan with Jerry Seinfeld as a talk show host.
