What are your thoughts on Andy Richter as the new announcer on Conan?

I would love it if he starts getting more involved. Not so much if he just stands there.

@Bri_L he’s actually one of the writers as well.

Goddard was good, but he was creepy.

@eponymoushipster – Good to know. Now start doing stuff with him. Like when they had him dress in blue and shoved him in front of the weather map.

@Bri_L like when he was naked on the Today show set in 94 or whenever.

i think they’re still settling in, trying to figure out what works with the new set, setting and time slot.

too, he was the butt of jokes a lot when he was with Conan before (see the above, for example). he may want to eek out a different spot on the show at this point.

Wasn’t Andy Richter the first announcer he had years ago? I think it was Andy someone?

I just googled him and I swear that Andy is the same guy he used to have.

Don’t tell me I am the only one old enough to remember that.

@rooeytoo no, it is the same guy. he was the sidekick for the first 4 years or so. (the conan equiv of ed mcmahon)

@eponymoushipster – Thank you, it is nice to know my brain is not getting addled.

As I recall they made a pretty good paid, they did some good skits.

@rooeytoo yeah, they’re the originators of the “In the Year 2000” skit, probably the best known from the show (after Masturbating Bear).

i miss Pimp Bot 5000

I think they worked well together during their first stint, and would expect the same, this time.
