 When Conan O'Brien debuts his new version of "The Tonight Show" on NBC on June 1, he'll have a familiar face with him.
Andy Richter, O'Brien's
former sidekick on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," will be joining the
new "Tonight Show" as its announcer, the network announced in a press release Tuesday. It will be the first time O'Brien and Richter will be working together on a daily in almost nine years. In addition to his announcing duties, Richter will participate in comedic pieces, NBC announced.
Richter served as O'Brien's
partner in late-night shenanigans for seven years before leaving the
show to focus on acting. He went on to star in a few short-lived
sitcoms, including "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," "Quintuplets"
and "Andy Barker, P.I."
"Andy is one of the funniest people I know and we've maintained a close friendship since he left "Late Night," O'Brien said in the news release. "We have a proven chemistry that will be an incredible asset to "The Tonight Show." I'm looking forward to working with Andy on a daily basis again, particularly since he owes me $300."
