Andy is like a comedy assassin. He hits precisely where he intends, and when you least expect it. Conan once called him "slow, but stealthy."

Andy is an underrated comedian. Often he’ll give the perfect capper to a segment with one well-placed joke.

[@jp-sn6si]

how is he underrated? you can't go around calling everything underrated because you just found out about something.

[@newsduke]

@@jp-sn6si I didn’t just find out about Andy, I was watching Conan’s show decades ago. But he’s best known for being a sidekick on a show starring someone else. I watched Andy’s attempt to star in his own show, Andy Barker, P.I., and it was great. But it got canceled a couple months later. I thought the show should’ve been a hit and Andy should’ve been a name-above-the-title TV star. But, it didn’t happen and he went back to Conan’s show. So, he’s underrated.

[@redacted2275]

​@@newsdukeYou not knowing about something doesn't necessarily make the thing "underrated"... unlike other talk show hosts, Conan always acknowledged how great of a comedian Andy is, he never treated Andy as a sidekick. So much so that Andy left Conan in the past and came back without any fuss from Conan's part.

[@newsduke]

@@redacted2275 Did you read my last comment? This KZbin clip is not the first time I’ve seen Andy Richter. I was watching him before KZbin was invented. Anyway, you’re right. Conan understandably loves Andy, and was happy to have him come back. But there’s a reason why Conan’s name is on the show. He’s the star, not Andy. Andy came back because his starring vehicles didn’t work out. Which was too bad for Andy, but a benefit for Conan’s show.

[@bardsamok9221]

​@@newsdukeGreat comeback. I impulsively agreed with the other guy at first, but I stand corrected. Yeah he is underrated, wish his shows did better and he flourished in comedy, could have been awesome.

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

His timing was always impeccable without stepping on the hosts toes. Can't teach that

[@bmyra]

Yeah. He's a perfect sidekick.

[@kevinfager.]

I can relate to Andy. I remember in college with a group of people, most of which I didn’t know too well, I popped in a one liner (literally not having said anything else) and my friend says “He doesn’t talk that much but when he does it’s gold.” I never felt funny before that moment.

[@acmelka]

Hey Steve we were just being nice

[@grumbogee1772]

this didn't happen

[@rite2bcreative]

This is the best :) I'm quiet too and I think it actually helps that I catch people off guard when I say something funny

[@kevinfager.]

@@rite2bcreative Yeah, I think that’s part of it for sure. I’ve gotten less quiet over the years, that was a decade ago. Now I just say everything I think is funny and it’s for nobody else but me. So it misses the mark often but I don’t really care. If you can make yourself laugh that’s awesome, if others happen to think it’s funny too it’s just a bonus.

[@kevinfager.]

@@grumbogee1772 I’m a little more imaginative than having to make up a story about being quiet but only having good one liners a decade ago. Trolling is cool though too. Nicely done.

[@CoverBydAn]

“Every show you lower yourself” Two great things about this. One, Andy’s little dance after. Two, conan just took it without dishing it back, showing he subconsciously knows he and andy are equals. I love this dynamic

[@kaiserj1982]

Reminds of when Johnny Carson as Carnac asks for silence and Ed quickly says "you've had it many times before"

[@papasy3748]

I was so happy when Andy came back to the show. Conan is as funny as anyone i've ever witnessed, and his respect for Andy as a comedian is so tangible. One of the greatest comedy duos of all time, and possibly the most oft overlooked one. After Norm Macdonald passed he said on his podcast that if anyone wonders what he actually found hilarious (contrasted with his duty as host to laugh generously for any guest), they should watch their interviews together. The only other person to get a rise out him consistently over the decades has been Andy Richter (the Swedish German).

[@Mopark25]

​@@papasy3748Which podcast episode? Do you remember?

I believe Tim and Conan are buddies in real life: their wives are friends and the couples socialize together. So Tim was reacting in a more genuine way to how hard Conan was laughing at him, which makes it even funnier.
