Andy Richter has been a late night TV staple since 1993, when he joined the writing staff for "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" and was elevated to sidekick months later. Richter appeared alongside O'Brien for the next seven years, until he left the show to pursue his own television projects.
After leaving "Late Night," Richter starred in three NBC sitcoms: "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," "Andy Barker, P.I.," and "Quintuplets." Some of them were critically acclaimed, but none lasted beyond a season.
Richter rejoined O'Brien in 2010 when O'Brien took over "The Tonight Show," although that would only last for seven months until NBC handed the show back to its previous host, Jay Leno.
When O'Brien landed his own talk show, "Conan," on TBS, Richter followed him and continued as his sidekick until 2021, when the show aired its final episode. Now, Richter pursues acting projects, and game show hosting opportunities. He also directs TV commercials (via The Hollywood Reporter).
