Andy Richter (born October 28, 1966) is an American comedian and actor, best known for his former role as Conan O'Brien's sidekick on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Richter was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan as the second of four children and was raised in Yorkville, Illinois, where he was elected Prom King. He played in several Chicago improv groups before catching his role on Late Night.
Richter left his post at Late Night in 2000, saying he wanted to focus on an acting career. His first major venture, Fox's critically acclaimed but littled watched Andy Richter Controls the Universe, was cancelled after just one season. Currently, he can be seen on the Fox sitcom Quintuplets, although the show has been critically panned since its debut during the summer of 2004.
In addition to his television work, Richter has appeared in motion pictures such as Seeing Other People and the Olsen Twins' New York Minute.
