[@TheRazor003]

As a long time Team Coco fan i have to say, the ONLY issue I have with this podcast is that Andy Richter doesn’t show up on it from time to time. They should a quarterly catchup episode with him just reminiscing about instances from the late night show.

[@odradekk]

Exactly what was in my mind. It's a real issue for me too.

[@s0mveraa]

I'd be happy if they just had andy actually just phone it in,from time to time, that alone would be hilarious. Every once and awhile andy just chimes in randomly without any warning, would be even better....

[@teejeya]

“Reminiscing with Richter” would be awesome 😄

[@Orkinman2008]

Reminiscing with Richter, except he actually isn't there. Just a cardboard cutout in the corner. Except one day, SURPRISE 🎉, he is there

[@lance134679]

100%. #BringBackAndy

[@bernlin2000]

"They're all addicts, their hands shake" 🤣

[@LagunaHeartly]

Andy richter is a national treasure

[@Leftyotism]

100%

[@kennethmullen-qe9hg]

I would say he's more like the prize down in the bottom of the crackerjack box, and maybe even your favorite cereal... Except those very rare times, when they doubled the prize(s), accidentally! Yeah...Andy's a lot more like a caramel-drizzled kernel or a frosted sugary flake, most likely, with a plethora of assorted colored and shaped marshmallows, than some old-ish sh*tty Nicholas Cage blockbuster (as in, MORE like the failed video store not successful huge-budgeted-and-grossing action flick) LmMFaO! ;) :P :o)

[@WG55]

There is a rumor that he is related to the Angry Rhubarb Lady. (One of my favorite Andy sketches!)

[@fdrstan]

I have to echo others on here and just say that I MISS ANDY TERRIBLY. The connection and banter between him and Conan was/is everything.

[@Leequidude]

This is the first time I hear Conan do an Andy impression and I didn't expect it to be that good 🤣

[@thisisit2082]

Conan having lifelong work relationships really is a great quality on him. In that business, it is expected not to be the norm.

[@playmaker3901]

Andy is technically Conan’s sidekick but all these years Conan always treated him as an equal and have nothing but compliments and appreciation for him 👍

[@Leftyotism]

Because Andy is great!

[@TooMuchFknPain]

Oh, you didn't know? Andy isn't his sidekick. He's Conan's lover.

[@MrThinkrob]

Andy is so brilliant! We need him to pop in on the show every once in a while just to reminisce.

[@Norvo82]

Conan's Andy impression is both wildly inaccurate and somehow completely on point.

[@Biotoze]

Andy has some of the best zingers in late night history imo.

[@blackhawk-qy2rh]

Geoff Peterson is the only one that comes close.

[@kaljaukko5439]

Andys one liners are just gold lol 😂

[@Leftyotism]

[@kelleyconstance1094]

@@Leftyotism that's it 😆

[@awkwardboy]

It was a constant comfort to me that Andy would almost immediately rescue the puppies from the wigs when they did the Puppy Conan bits.

[@AV-db5fb]

It warms my heart so much that Andy and Conan are so close that Andy would have Conan officiate his wedding! It's not all just for show and they are best of friends

[@MedievalMonkey]

The take-away here is that Conan thought of Regis as Kathie-Lee's sidekick.

[@jojomakes]

😂😂😂😂

[@rinkaaaaa9006]

we all need an andy Richter in our life ❤

[@ahsn8010]

I miss andy & conan together.

[@treborretsnom6186]

The Legend of Andy Richter is well placed in the Hall of comedic Masters' .... His camera time is immense in quality and quantity. Andy is an icon to me ❤

[@eckmanians]

“….with the skill of an eye surgeon…” As a dentist, I don’t know if that’s a dig or a compliment. Ha!

[@gpc_4279]

I'm not sure about that Andy impression...but it was good to hear about him and Conan again.

[@aarondadvlogs]

2:45 PERFECT Andy Richter impression

[@AV-db5fb]

Conan does an impeccable Andy impression

[@LOLINC2010]

That's a really great story! It's fascinating to see and hear some of the stuff that goes behind the scenes.

[@TheCJD89]

That is so nice. Conan and Andy are kindred spirits in the truest sense of the term! :)

[@lachauntiswashington231]

Andy is the best😂❤❤❤

[@altafkalam2716]

"I was a child of the Depression" "What?" "Meaning I was depressed as a child." LMFAO

[@Walperion_Music]

3:15 - gosh I almost jumped from my seat, such unexpected good Andy!

[@bogwitchsophie]

Conan's Andy impression. *Chef's kiss*

[@Leftyotism]

3:44 This is why everyone loves Andy Richter!

[@Peter_Dirga]

Any Andy Richter story gets an immediate like! (I mean, every upload gets a like from me, but you know what I mean)

[@ManiacArtist83]

I love stories like this. You gotta love Andy Richter.

[@Biglebowski88936]

How come Andy is not a regular on this podcast?

[@TooMuchFknPain]

Because he has a life. We must end his life! I mean in a way that makes him be a regular, not murder. I sorta murdered my words and meaning.

[@ezioaltairac]

Because he has his own on this network.

[@jordi4757]

Good for Conan, embracing side hustles while wearing his plumber suit

[@PopeLando]

Conan does "old-timey" comedy so often, whenever he jokes "I was a child of the Depression" I begin by believing him, forgetting that he's only two years older than me (I'm 58).

[@aweaver6895]

Same. I always forget he wasn't raised in a tiny cottage in Dublin, too.

[@mikhailtonikov]

there was talk of gerbils

[@altafkalam2716]

He stuck to the Depression era joke so ardently over the years that it took me a minute to go, wait, the Depression was in the 30s.

[@gicknardner]

Conan's Andy impression sounds like a Billy West character.

[@ZakClaxton]

It was kind of an Andy Richter/Stimpy voice, and I'm all for it.

[@TonyCrenshawsLatte]

I miss Andy Richter.

[@kelleyconstance1094]

God bless Andy 🙌

[@classictalkies]

I stan Andy Ricter in perpetuity.

[@Dira091998]

Awww Andy ❤

[@MartyD]

loved andy on stars on mars!

[@classictalkies]

Right? He’s such a gem.

[@manonthedollar]

I like how Andy is Regis and Conan is Kathy Lee in this situation

[@beyolgrenlef5001]

Love all of it, but the commercial cut the story at a crucial moment. Maybe a bit later. Love all the stuff you guys put out.

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

CONAN O BRIEN PODCAST SO GREAT !!!

[@assmane999]

I love the idea f Andy moonlighting as a dental assistant

[@igotapochahontas]

His andy impression is gold. Honestly, his best one. But i wish the real richter was on once in a while

[@bloodsling]

[@wswanberg]

Not surprising that Andy would be such a good dental technician. After all, he does control the universe.

[@fletchermunson6225]

You never know ho your captain will be in a storm.

[@PezQ84]

Andy is a real one.

[@rayyseason]

I like other talk show hosts as well, but Conan, i looove him the most.

hahah Andy Rocks! Where those the best shows of the year?

[@matthale8090]

Andy just keeps gettin cooler... 😎

[@TheTarrMan]

Didn't you mention it on the old show once? This is a vaguely familiar story? I'm in dentures now myself, I know all about tooth pain. (I was 28 when I got them.)

[@Slonge92]

There was a time, in the last century, when the reason I watched Conan was because of Andy Richter. Then it carried into this century, and now where the hell is Richter? It’s like Johnny without Ed, an abomination. Conan sometimes terrifies the townsfolk of the Hollywood Hills because he is as tall as the Jolly Green Giant, and a reddish/copper color all over. But, the stout and stumpy Andy balanced out the scary crimson giant so that little Penny WhoAwitz and all the town’s children slept soundly each night. Conan and Andy, the embodiment of Ricardo Montalbán and Hervé Villechaize. Dimensionally correct butt white doppelgänger’s, sans island. I love Conan, but there’s no substitute in the sidekick game like Andy Richter.

[@bigolpanda]

Andy was on an episode of Tigerbelly today! lol He is very funny

[@thelonelyloner7]

Andy Richter for 2024

[@RandyJames22]

"Sklorch! Scklorch!" Ah, such a choice onomatopoeia, Conan!

[@PopeLando]

Amazed they didn't turn it into a sketch. Edited: oh, Matt said that too.

[@Neyshtradamus]

Conan makes me laugh.

[@michaelhockus8208]

Conan is funny

[@generaljellyroll8737]

I had a abscess under the left molar in the backcountry. A dentist perforated my lower jawbone during a botched root canal. I had to hike to civilization and then wait three days in Yosemite then hitchhike to the nearest town. A dentist took some x rays and then referred me to a endodontist one more town over. Hitched again, had plans to camp in park. I went in because I time to kill. The dental hygienist was a woman with a family. She allowed me to stay at her house and bought me pizza and beer. The pain was so real you start praying to a god you don’t even think exists. Anyway, never take for granted your body’s ability to take in food and turn it into energy🎉

[@Kitty8791]

Think you meant abscess*

[@generaljellyroll8737]

@@Kitty8791 Yes you're right. It wouldn't have been so bad but its the forth word and everything is plays off it. It's like you have to solve the unintentional puzzles of an idiot on the internet and you do it. bless you child

[@BaltimoreShipspotting]

Where do I sign up for this guest experience? Do I have to pay for my own flight and hotel and whatnot?

[@dspiffy]

I want to be a guest on the show to get the snacks!!

[@florete2310]

Whenever you are in dire need of a good friend - or a very sarcastic and dry quip, it is always good to have our beloved Swedish-German around. Everybody knows that

OMFG U MAKE PODCASTS NOW FUUUUUUUUUUAAAAA

it's illegal to put andy's name in the title and not have him in the episode

[@Carpster]

why isnt he part of the podcast?

[@colonialstraits1069]

Andy Richter, the German-Swede, is full of surprises.

[@hydrarue3725]

I had dry sockets after my wisdom teeth removal and it was the worst!

[@thisisit2082]

Whew Chile. When I got mine removed, they warned about that and I was lucky.

[@samsampier7147]

Me, too. I wasn't even warned. I was told, "Oh you don't smoke. You won't have that problem." Nearly a week of pain until I was able to get back to the oral surgeon.

[@i.am.not.herbert]

Can "tiny holes" be the new thing to yell to you after we're done with "there was talk of gerbils"?

[@SwiftJustice]

_Paaaaaaaterrrrrrrrrr!_

[@i.am.not.herbert]

@@SwiftJustice truthfully I don't even like it when he does his little French kid saying father gag, tho. Lol

[@robotwolf]

Vanilla Cone needs to sell Andy Richter "waifu pillows" in the Team Coco merch store. I'd finally have a legitimate reason to exercise the "One to show, one to stow" backup plan.

[@bloodsling]

His Andy impersonation sounds more like Louis Anderson

[@koreanpathfinder]

Roseanne? I thought it sounded like Louie Anderson.

[@Tommyr]

I had a dry socket wrench. Matter if fact they're still dry to this day.

Andy running with the seven ones to the titty bar. The good ole days of New York. Before wall street was dancing on a pole.

[@johnavernia1026]

Wait, Andy got married? I didn't know that. Congrats!

[@AL__EX]

change the podcast to "CONAN HAS ALWAYS HAD A FRIEND"

[@klytus42]

Why hasn't Andy been on the podcast yet?

[@Norvo82]

He was the final interview of the first season back in 2018/2019, long before they were also filming them.

[@klytus42]

@@Norvo82 Gotcha. Thanks.

[@michaelb3927]

To be clear Conan… you are saying Regis was the side kick?

[@Ghoopty]

Hilarious podcast (as usual), but I don’t agree with Conan that it would be “creepy in today’s climate” to put drops in his assistant’s tooth or whatever. It would be sweet.

[@oc1655]

is anybody going to point out the weird thumbnails lately? it looks like conan got a facelift or something but then in the video he looks normal. am i losing going blind or seeing things?

[@bfgivmfith]

You have to have one another's back. It comes and goes for most. Andy Richter had Ed McMahon down tight! Dare I say better, but a different time.
