Andy and Conan has got to be the best bromance in late night comedy.
The original Late Night with Conan O'Brien crew was fantastic with Conan, Andy, Max Weinberg, Joel Goddard, Amy Poehler(as Andy's sister).
You have likely never heard the story of Andy, Kitchner Leslie, and Kitchners old lady... Typical Swedish/German shenanigans, really.
The best time to watch Conan was during the 2000s, when Andy left to pursue a "movie career".
Andy Richter, the Swedish German. I met him once through a prospector in Atlanta, Georgia.
That is sooo weird whan a US citizen, born and raised in the US, is being called the nationality of their ancestors.
His father was born in Illinois, not in Germany. Especially when I am from Europe as well. He neither has a swedish nor a german passport. Even his parents (at least his father, didn't find the info on his mother) were born and raised in the US. From my point of view, he's as US as it gets. He is a (at least) second generation US Citizen.
I understand the sentiment, but boy is the US fixation on their ancestors weird for outsiders.
@@mephisto8101 The ethnicity of the ancestors is how we identify each other. Because the ethnicity of the ancestors is what dictates your home cuisine, how you celebrate holidays (and what foods you cook), what your family structure is like, etc etc etc. The US is a country of immigrants who do not assimilate to a standard cultural norm. Families keep most of the traditions of their ethnic heritage. So as an American, when I get to know another American, eventually I'm interested to know their ethnic heritage, because now I have the complete picture of how they live their life and what their family is like. Hope this helps.
@@markc380 That's a very interesting perspective, thanks.
@@mephisto8101Also, ZOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM (that's the joke flying over your head...) RIP Norm...
@@markc380wait wait wait that’s what we use to say the USA was.. melting pot:. Immigrants… customs - now we’re all just “white” and have absolutely no history or customs… where have you been?
Andy is brilliant. He added a lot to Conan's show.
Lot is an understatement. I literally watch Conan because of Andy. Conan is funny. But Andy is funnier. Infact he could have had his own show. He had to be really quick during interviews and still whatever words come out of his mouth are just too good. I have seen multiple times Conan losing the track of the conversation or interview gets awkward & Andy says something which just makes people laugh immediately.
He honestly was the other half of the show, they both compliment each other PERFECTLY
Andy is the embodiment of a team-player.
He is not only willing to be the but of the joke, but he is a master at playing along and making some hilarious self deprecating jokes.
He is not only willing to be the but of the joke, but he is a master at playing along and making some hilarious self deprecating jokes.
I highly recommend one of many Andy’s biographies, “Fake laughter, real tears”.
The thing Andy did was never try to take over or interfere, but the things away from the interviews was incredible
I love Andy, he contributed constantly to Conan’s interviews by adding funny comments and giving Conan moments to laugh and riff. RIP Ed McMahon, but Andy changed the game for comedy talk show co-hosts. Not going to call him a sidekick, he’s earned better.
Andy calls himself a sidekick and he says it's what he wants to be. So it's not taking anything away from him... He knows he could be called more but he loves that so I call him a sidekick for that reason only even though when I call Andy a sidekick it means so much more than when I call lets say Robin a sidekick to batman.
Whiney outside of work
I will always remember the zinger that Andy gave to Chelsea Handler, such a quick, funny and talented guy!
andy is and has always been, the silent assassin - calls for no attention, but when the opportunity is there he just murders it every time lmao
Andy is star struck? That’s kind of adorable.
True scorpio, deeply loyal and watch out for the sting. Plus Conan's wife ist scorpio too, so he likes them.
“What do you sink? Must be that cast iron heart. “
Andy's like the glue that keeps it together... Great combo, him & Conan 💯
One of the greatest Swedish-German's on TV.
😅 A nickel per BJ.
In the year 2000 skit they did together with Conan was always top quality. I remember they did that still after 2000 and it became even funnier because of that.
It was "in the year 3000" after y2k
@@sakumisan Yes, but not right away.
What a genuine, down to earth, funny and great story teller. Oh, and Andy is pretty good too.
Andy was awesome on the Conan O'Brien show...will always be one of my favorites because of the kind, funny person he showed us he was during his years with Conan.
Andy Richter Controls the Universe was underrated
Nice of Rich to make sure we had some Swedish-German representation on the show!
Conan really is a force of nature. I can see why he didn’t have to say much, or get a chance to. Andy on Arrested Development is one of my favorite parts of the show. I’m glad I got to see him shine on that show!
The very funniest stuff on Conan is Andy's one-liners.
Andy seems like such an unbelievably fun fella to hang out with.
Andy has a good heart and it is in the right places with his love and appreciation of the iconic people of the past!
"immediately stupid" is how I would describe watching Conan and Andy the first time
He's so good in his profession that i feel uncomfortable to call him a sidekick. He is more than a sidekick. Infact his humour and comic timing is even better than conan. He can read the tone of conversation so well & then he adds something or says something so unpredictable that cracks you up immediately. I remember once Conan said "Should i lower myself?" & Andy said "You lower yourself everyday". 😂
I miss watching Andy and Conan every night.
I personally love a good Andy Richter Swedish German joke
PREACH MY BROTHER!!!
Andy Richter should be the primary host of Jeopardy.
I watched Conan from the very beginning and at first I have to be honest I didn't get that the brilliance of Andy.
It wasn't until he came back to the show years later I realized how stupid I was for not seeing his absolute genius! I look at older episodes and it was always there I just was blind to it.
Can't believe I've never heard this side of the story.. I love Andy and Conan's partnership.
I loved Andy’s tv shows, the universe and the detective show.
What a great gig Andy fell into! Awesome 💕👍
Conan & Andy Forever - Andy made Conan & Conan made Andy.
Ur so awesome Andy may everyone around you remind u
Andy was always one of my faves
Andy Richter the Swedish-German.
Recurring homophobic joke that Andy has said he absolutely hates.
@@RHelenius hardly homophobic and totally hilarious. The Swedish-German is just butt hurt.
@@RHelenius I can tell that you don’t own a dog house oh also you have no sense of humor
I came here to type this 😂
I sincerely doubt that Andy Richter owns a dog house.
ANDY RICHTER THE PEOPLE.
Andy did an incredible job!! Conan was lucky to have such a great comedy team player!!
Not only is he very funny, he just comes across as a guy I’d love to hang out with. Good vibes
Yes. I needed this.
Bowie's cameo on Extras was a great take on why you might not want to meet your hero
Well, I 'm waitin - was perfect!
How insane would it be to see James Brown just sitting in a studio hallway watching the foot traffic
Andy should write a book
I love andy, miss the show.
Love Andy!
Legend!
Love Andy ❤️ and Conan ❤️ and company ❤️ love Andy's recounts 😊
He's just such a good guy, all around. What makes his comedy so special is, yeah, the quality of the joke, but also the fact that it's coming from a guy who really cares about the person who he's trying to make laugh
Love you Andy ❤️
Love Andy
The Swedish German himself!!
Will do, Andy.
Someone give Andy a show bec my god do I miss the dude.
I have the same shirt that Andy is wearing in this interview...homeboy shops at Target yeaaah buddy!
@David Pietras he hated Andy
So honest and funny.😂
The lighting in this set...
Andy the best sidekick.
Andy has more comedic talent than Colbert, Kimmel, and Fallon combined.
Amen.
kimmel and fallon for sure, but colbert? well colberts talk show isnt funny but his other work was
@@polarwavehole4545 Have you seen him or John Stewart be funny since that show? They're no talent hacks.
Best guest is Norm McDonald by far.
Martin Short and Kevin Nealon were up there as well.
Legend.
8:44 Andy still going with his instant Zingers "Well what do you got in your wallet" 😂
That's a simple obvious one, though.
@@terri6854 really? that easy? where's Your extensive TV career then?
Everytime Andy crack a joke, Conan always burst into laughter..and you know that the joke is good.
Soooo... did I miss the part where Andy talked about the secret to being a good sidekick?
Andy Richter and Chris Elliot (Dave Letterman) have to be the two best side kicks ever. They should team up and do a show together. They would be hilarious together.
They worked together in Cabin Boy
never forget what a talent he is - totally could lead a show as a comedic actor (imho it was just a bit ahead of its times, the comedy series).
He was about to say Michael Peña 😂
"Did the superballs bounce back up to the 9th floor" This guy really knows how basic physics and gravity works.
Hopefully that hbo stuff works out for him and Conan.
10 people or more can watch me completely.
Shelley Winters was a two-time Oscar winner. I'd consider that as being an A-lister.
at the time she did the show her career was not what it used to be.
SW was in her mid-70s when she first appeared on Conan, so she wasn't quite first choice for a leading part in a movie at the time, hence not A-list.
Well you'd be wrong.
Yorkville!!
"Did a super ball make it back up to the 9th floor?" Haha...no...physics.
I liked him in the movie Scary Movie 2.
I'm just picturing walking down a hallway and thinking "That dude looks EXACTLY like James Brown."
My mom worked for NBC in 30 Rock. She hated it. Retired years early.
Genius
What's the statute of limitations on hitting somebody with a superball from 9 stories up?
Bowie was so darn funny in a few Conan shows.
If you’ve never seen Andy’s detective show (or even if you have) go find it quickly!
I don't know about you, but a job that afforded you the opportunity to throw a bucket of superballs out of a ninth floor window sounds like just about the sweetest gig anyone could ever hope for...
We had a cat named Kitty Carlisle she was awesome
I guess the secret is going to stay secret.
When the white balance on the cameras is messed up.
I would usually forget he was there … and more than half the time he interjected, it fell flat
One of the most low key funny guys
Before Eric Andre and Hannibal Burress, there was Conan O'brien and Andy Richter.
"And the feller in there holding Andy Richter down is going to know about it."
What a guy❤️🖤❤️🫂🫂🫂
Michael Caine?! Why do people put simple actors on a pedestal? Movie acting is probably the simplest of all creative works. Everythings prepared for you in advance, you get endless do-overs, and then the editor/director cuts & pastes the best bits together.
Andy’s got COVID twins. He’s the best!
Andy was, is Great.
He could take a punch(Norm Macdonald) and give one…
3:20 - How Andy met Conan.
Not surprising that this Swedish-German fella didn't mention a certain old chunk of coal.
Andy Richter the swedish german
That Swedish German guy. What does he know? He doesn't even own a dog house. 😛
It seems like Andy Richter and Jim Gaffigan are brothers, separated at birth.
Swedish-German Andy Richter....
Swedish Germans make the best sidekicks
rich is lowkey pretty funny lol
Rich: "I feel like I was born to give away cash and prizes."
Andy: "Whadda ya got in your wallet?"
Andy Richter the swiss German it is..
Lol superballs dropping from the NY sky.
Andy should take over Match Game as host. Because I'm willing to bet Alec Baldwin won't be coming back.
It got cancelled but I'd love to see it come back with Andy
