Andy is such an unsung hero of Conan's late shows. Dude is so funny and a great complement to Conan.

@256k_ Год назад

Andy is an amazing comedian and improv. sooo many times he would just throw these supe throw away jokes that would pass under the radar that were pure gold. i also later on realized how "dirty" of a joker he was and it kinda blew me away coz he's always super clean on tv but man when he gets to the dirty jokes he's unbeatable!

@globdrop Год назад

He's not unsung. He's a sidekick. Sung properly

@michaeldecenta2104 Год назад

Hahaha

@kufitop Год назад

Absolutely the anchor when the ship needed it! ❤

@roems6396 Год назад

Yeah, he was a huge part of those early year skits and tomfoolery. I was both upset and excited when he left to do his own shows. Too bad he never took off on his own, but he is a perfect sidekick. He knows when to stay silent, and when to come in with a quick one liner, without ruining the flow of the conversation.

@johnny__b1299 Год назад

Andy is a great sidekick that's for sure. I wish they had given him more remotes on the TBS show. He was so great in the late night remotes. Alone and with Conan. Andy's podcast is awesome too!

@victoryak86 Год назад

Johnny I agree. They’re some of the best things to watch on this whole channel. He’s a very talented comedian on his own.

@2darkdragon Год назад

@jkap34 Год назад

I would have loved his remote in new Orleans. It sounded so funny in the podcast, him just eating weed brownies and touring in one of those bike things.

@MegaBawse Год назад

Most def,good thing my dude was also being an active film/tv actor as well

@victoryak86 Год назад

Andy is the best of “co-hosts” because he is so genuinely funny on his own and to me one of the most truly likable people in show business. He and Conan are to me the best combo among late night shows past or present.

@olafurbjornsson Год назад

Craig Ferguson and Geoff Peterson are the kings of (late) late night. Will never be topped

@raystaar Год назад

Andy's quips were, I think, among the funniest moments on the show. Conan has an amazingly quick and fertile comedic mind, so his sidekick didn't need to be "on" all the time, but whenever Andy spoke up, what he had to say was well worth hearing.

@brentkelly9864 Год назад

For real. Andy has some of the best off-the-cuff one-liners in all of late night talk show television.

@shinkiryu1313 Год назад

"You kinda look like a lesbian."

@dlxmarks 6 месяцев назад

I've always felt that Andy is a master at calling his shots. He could have made a lot more comments than he did but he saved it for the home run joke.

@waynecanning4122 Год назад

Andy is an assassin. He waits in the weeds until the exact moment and strikes with deadly accuracy

@billyeveryteen7328 Год назад

Speaking of Andy in "ridiculous costumes," my mom isn't a big fan of Conan. She doesn't dislike him, and didn't prevent me from watching him when I was a kid, just not her cup of tea. But I showed her the bit Andy and Conan did when they went to Mexico City, where they both trained as wrestlers, and Andy in the "El Bebe Malo" costume had her literally in tears with laughter. Even still, later, when she tried to explain to my dad what she had been laughing at, she couldn't get through the words because she'd start laughing again.

@omegadirective Год назад

Does El Bebe Malo mean "The Bad Baby"? Sorry not a Spanish speaker.

@heats13crazyness Год назад

Based on your comment, I looked the bit up...definitely worth hysterical laughter. ..

@pibstarr Год назад

@@omegadirective yup it correctly translates to that

@runnergo1398 Год назад

Andy, you're the best, man. You really are. We are so glad you ended up on the show.

@SNESdrunk Год назад

It makes sense Andy doesn't remember certain things. When you're creating brand new stuff every single day for years and years, a lot of it gets lost in the ether

@ohdaUtube Год назад

SNNNNNNESSSS DRUNK~

@pibstarr Год назад

Didn't know about Andy's improv background. Makes sense why his comedic timing is impeccable.

@ByGriPhone Год назад

What a crazy time in TV that was. Nowadays it would be impossible for Conan to get a Late Night spot as a simple writer, not even a performer. And for Andy to get a sidekick gig simply by hanging around on set. But totally deserved for both of them. A perfect storm to say.

@billyeveryteen7328 Год назад

To be fair, it was considered impossible back then, too. The only reason Conan got Late Night is because Lorne Michaels saw something in him that I don't even think Conan saw in himself.

@dushyantbangal169 Год назад

On the contrary, its easier now than before. In those days, there were very few channels and timeslots. These days there are so many networks + internet, they have to settle with not-so-good people.

@filipino0021 Год назад

No it’s honestly easier today because Conan paved the way for networks to take chances on writers like Seth Meyers is one of the top of my head

@B-Nice Год назад

The combination of Andy and Conan was truly special. Thank you all who helped make the show what it was!! 🙏

I was devastated when Andy 1st left the show! But I also rooted for his film career because he deserved it. I still own ever movie he was in, Cabin Boy is still my favorite though.

@DBeatles4Ever Год назад

Andy is just great! He's one funny dude and a lot taller than I imagined. 😅 Saw him at El Cholo's in L.A. with his fam. I kick myself now for not asking for an autograph but left him to enjoy his privacy. Luv him!

@ajn465 Год назад

I did most of my Conan watching in his earliest years mainly because I was watching a lot more TV back then, but I really liked Conan and Andy from day one. I was a big Dave fan, but had no need for sour grapes because he got his CBS show. After Dave I would switch to NBC and was amazed that they had found these guys. I enjoyed Conan’s way with humor, which was more about painting a funny scenario than telling a joke. I thought Andy was underrated from day one as well. It makes me happy that they were so successful.

@PaperHamburgers Год назад

Late night aired at night and then would repeat again at like almost 4 am, and it would be from 2 weeks prior, so when Andy left late night I’ll never forget staying up all night for 2 weeks to rewatch the final Andy episodes.

@zaccicala2341 Год назад

Andy's TV shows Andy Richter Controls the Universe and Andy Barker PI were both fantastic, quirky shows. Its too bad they didn't last longer.

@madnessbydesign1415 Год назад

The Andy bits were always gold. He has a comedic authenticity that translates extremely well. I hope he makes (several) more appearances on the podcast... :)

@bfgivmfith 5 месяцев назад

I live my life in the moment as well Andy. You are very comforting to watch! :) You bring the balance!

@homeaudiobasics Год назад

This show was so culturally important to those of us who were in our teens and 20s when it first started. Late Nite is how i learned to laugh at my self, laugh at the absurd, and why i didnt kill myself as a teenager.

@prettyshinyspaghetti8332 Год назад

Wow

@forseriousthoughb9165 Год назад

Wow I never thought of it like this, and couldn’t agree more! Grew up sneaking episodes of the show when everyone was sleeping and love Conan & Andy content to this day- just saw Jim Gaffigan live last year finally! But having had a very traumatic childhood, I bet this is where the ability to laugh through life was created and strengthened over the years. Wow. Conan & Andy helped me get through so much, and be able to laugh at the ridiculous/ have a healthy perspective now like you said. We’re very lucky they had the opportunity to reach such a large audience, so well deserved! 💜

@KristineMoment Год назад

I remember the Imelda Marcos bit. Lots of shoes used in it lol

@isentropic8279 Год назад

Andy is a brilliant comedian. He makes me laugh so many times.

@harrisumar3099 8 месяцев назад

Bro Mort is too hilarious he should have his own talk show and he was genuinely the BEST sidekick for Conan I mean Mort and Conan were like the 2 best friends in high school who always hung out with each other instead of trying to be popular with other people. I mean I have known Mort my whole life he is so hilarious he obviously has great comedic skills along with timing as a pro comedian I mean he makes stupid comedians look like amateurs which makes me laugh 😂 like if Mort had his own podcast that would totally be nice he totally deserves his own podcast his voice is very calm and he obviously has solid mannerisms of a solid podcaster and a solid talk show host like Mort ok? Mort I mean HE TOTALLY MAKES ME LAUGH OUT LOUD SO LOUDLY I MEAN MORT IS TOO HILARIOUS BRO 😆

I'll never forget Andy in "Cabin Boy" Hilarious movie. The main reason I actually started watching Late Night with Conan O'Brien was because of him. I knew if he was involved it was going to be funny.
