Andy Gives Conan A Tour Of His Old Neighborhood In Chicago | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

Andy is way far on the political left. I don't think Conan is. He doesn't really bring up politics. Norm Macdonald was pretty centrist or even right of center and Conan liked him a lot and had only good things to say about him. Andy, on the other hand waited for Norm to die to start badmouthing him like a coward, saying he was a homophobe. Hate Andy.
