Andy Richter Talks Leno, ‘Conan Road Show’

In his first TV appearance since the comedy version of The Tonight Show came to a premature end, Andy Richter was refreshingly candid discussing the ordeal with Kelly Ripa on Monday.

Asked if he harbors ill-feelings toward NBC or Jay Leno, Andy replied, “Yes, yes I do. Why wouldn’t I? I’d be some sort of self-hater.”

He continued: “It’s very frustrating when somebody says—and especially when they’re on videotape—saying, ‘I’m going to take this number one show and hand it over and hope that the next guy gets to make it a number one show.’ And then doesn’t.”

Andy should have known, In the Year 3000… Jay Leno will still be hosting the 11:35 show on NBC.

And what about those crazy Internet rumors Conan and Andy are taking their act on the road with a live tour this Spring?

“It’s a possibility,” says Andy. “It’s a distinct possibility. It would get me out of the house.”

If and when the tour happens, it’s a safe bet Conan will announce it on his new Twitter account.

On a lighter note (sort of), watch Andy in this new video from UCB…
