NBC says Andy Richter and Conan O’Brien will be back together again on late-night TV.
Richter, who worked with O’Brien for seven years on NBC’s “Late Night,” will become the “Tonight” show announcer when O’Brien takes over from Jay Leno as host in June. NBC said Richter also will take part in comedy bits.
This is good news and sad news. The great part is that Andy Richter will certainly add another character to an already hilarious show. Andy was usually the butt of many Conan bits, and Conan will certainly take advantage of that once more. On the other hand, this means that Joel Goddard (his current/previous announcer) who was equally if not more hilarious and certainly creepier, won’t be taking the trip out west along with Max Weinberg and the MW7. I can’t wait for his first string of shows in L.A.!!
