Andy’s one liners are so good yet so unpredictable, which is what makes him great. The “sometimes you can see memories” sting is just genius 😂

[@winzyl9546]

I dont get it

[@sarcastaball]

It's an old skit. He lifts almost all his stuff.

[@WalterDiamond]

They're also tumultuous and salty.

[@jeremyc9593]

@@sarcastaball Sure it is. Sure he does.

[@daveballjoint5285]

The memories bit was good. A lot of his stuff is predictable but also still good. The man is smart and funny which is the best combination.

[@palmerlp]

I remember around ‘99 they were doing one of those fake ads bits, and the ad was for a pair of binoculars. The joke tagline was “Watch from a safe distance as Satan’s legions triumph!” Which is already pretty funny. And then Andy said “It’s comforting to know that when Satan’s legions triumph there will be a safe distance.”

[@rdug2165]

hahah that's so good. Thanks for sharing.

[@xchapix]

That just literally cracked me up 😂

[@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs]

I can see why Conan wanted Andy out there, especially at the start. Conan is already a comedy genius but just in case there was even a chance of dead air, Andy fills it in. It's a recipe for success

[@gregwessendorf]

Even Johnny Carson had Ed McMahon, don't fix what isn't broken.

[@daimingburai]

They talked about that on one of the podcasts, like they clicked so fast when they first met it just seemed natural. And then after Andy left in the early 2000s, the bit of Conan and Max having zero chemistry grew out of him not having Andy there to help him.

[@JRobelen]

No better instincts on display than with Mel Brooks. Andy held off as long as he could to not step on Mel’s bit, then he went just a bit too long vamping it. So before it died Andy put the button on it.

[@galaga00]

Conan was recently on the Smartless podcast and he said how in the early days Andy basically got him through it…knowing he was up there with him. He said he found it comforting.

[@jimesberger228]

Agreed. These guys might just make it in the biz.

Geoff Peterson was also excellent.

[@NeroKoso]

[@ekathe85]

Mel Brooks' comeback was the only one up to par I think. There's also a clip of Andy describing the late Norm MacDonald's style of humor as "somebody telling you they gotta show you something, then taking you on a four mile hike to see a dog turd" which is perfect, and you can tell Norm loved it.

[@shahxad6533]

Love how gently Andy responds & never interrupt anyone neither does he overdo it.

[@withershin]

OMG Mel Brooks saying, "That's Andy Richter. Sometimes he's actually good" - like this is a moment in time for future comedy nerds. The handshake on a good joke is mostly lost right now but it'll be back.

[@Tralalala00]

I still don‘t understand Andy‘s joke. Was Mel Brooks ever known for mob-connection?
