Andy Richter
Former "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" writer and co-star
What's it like behind the scenes at one of the hottest (and funniest) programs on late night television? Ask Andy Richter. A multi-talented actor, writer and comedian, Richter has the best seat in the house on NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Since the debut of the show in 1993, viewers and critics alike have come to recognize that Richter, in the words of TV Guide, is "more than just a sidekick -- he's a second banana with appeal all his own." He ad-libs with O'Brien, takes part in conversations with guests, often performs in comedy bits, and periodically acts as the show's comedic correspondent off the set. He has taped remote comedy segments at the MTV Awards, Woodstock, a Kiss convention, New York's Fulton Fish Market and many other locales. His recurring comedy bits include hosting his own "daytime talk show," called "Andi," and he has portrayed many people in the news -- including both Elizabeth Taylor and Larry Fortensky in the same sketch.
Now Richter comes to the campus stage for a multimedia lecture that shares the "untold story" of the late night phenomenon they said would never last. Showcasing the off-beat deadpan humor that has made Richter a viewer favorite, his lecture program also features highlights from Late Night's early years. For anyone who wants to kick back, relax and forget about class for an hour or so, it's an evening not to be missed.
