Andy Richter and Conan O’Brien Reunite for Tonight Show

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC

Andy Richter and Conan O'Brien

Andy Richter helped launch Phase 1 of ‘s late-night career, so it only seems fitting that he be there for Phase 2.

Just days after closing up shop in New York, NBC’s comedic redhead delivered big news to his longtime Late Night fans: Richter, O’Brien’s former sidekick, will be moving west with him.

Although Andy has starred in several TV projects (Andy Richter Controls the Universe and Andy Barker, P.I.) since his 2000 exit, the 42-year-old is best remembered for 7 years of staring contests on Conan’s couch. Now Richter will get to play Tonight Show announcer for his good friend. (He will also appear in various sketches, etc.)

Conan - and Andy’s - new 11:30 gig will officially begin on June 1.

Emilio EstevezJenny McCarthy

Here’s a quick look at some of the casting announcements made recently:

Two and a Half Men: Now that everyone’s forgotten about his star-studded Bobby, director Emilio Estevez will soon be returning to his acting roots. In an upcoming episode of the CBS comedy, Emilio will play a drinking buddy of Charlie’s. (For those who don’t already know, Sheen is Estevez’s younger brother in real-life.) This cameo comes three years after their father, Martin Sheen, guested as Rose’s father.

Final ‘Andy Barker’ Eps Move to Saturday

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, Scrubs, Cancellations, Internet, Ratings, Renewals

Andy Richter So, this doesn’t look like good news for Andy Barker, P.I.—it’s moving to Saturdays. The kiss of death, perhaps, but at least NBC is keeping it on the schedule and not pulling it altogether. The likelihood of renewal is slim to none for this ratings dud, which earned the title of NBC’s lowest-rated series this season. Me, I like it. I love Andy Richter and I’m glad to see Arrested Development‘s Tony Hale back on TV. But I can also see where this quirky comedy could fail to deliver to a mainstream audience. So, if you’ve been following along with this series, be warned that the final two episodes will air back-to-back on Saturday, April 14th at 8 p.m. You’d think for two little episodes, they could have kept it on Thursday, huh? Scrubs will fill in for the 9:30 p.m. Thursday slot, then move back to 9 p.m. in May.

Premiere Date Set for ‘Donnellys’ and ‘Andy Barker’

Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, NBC

Andy Richter These are two of the shows you may have heard some buzz about in the fall, then they swiftly fell off of the radar. The Black Donnellys, a crime drama, will premiere on NBC on March 5 at 10:00 p.m. This mid-season entry will knock Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip off of the schedule, with no clear indication about when it will return. Donnellys will have the lead-in of Heroes, so it’s not too shabby a place to be.

Andy Barker, P.I., the new comedy starring Andy Richter, will begin on March 15th at 9:30 p.m. (also on NBC). So, that will replace 30 Rock mid-season. As much as I’m looking forward to seeing Andy Richter, I will certainly be mourning the absence of 30 Rock. That show just continues to get better each week. Fear not, however, 30 Rock will return to its Thursday time beginning on April 19th.
