Andy Richter Addresses Future With Conan O'Brien on New HBO Max Show
Conan O’Brien’s late-night talk show Conan on TBS might have ended its 11-year run two weeks ago, but his best friend and longtime sidekick Andy Richter went through a “weird period” with the show coming to an end — at least this iteration of it. In an exclusive with PopCulture.com's Tania Hussain talking about his new Audible Audiobook, The Incredibly Inaccurate Biography of Andy Richter, the comedian and TV icon admits that while the show’s end still doesn’t feel quite “real” for him, there are no plans just yet to join O’Brien for the new HBO Max show.
“I honestly have no idea and there’s no deception. There’s no sort of like, conspiracy to hide the truth. There’s a difference of opinion and kind of like just not knowing exactly what the next show should be, will be, what has the best chance of being fun and working,” he said, adding how O’Brien did the cast and crew all a “favor” by letting them know he was unsure what’s happening next. “[That’s] kind of given us permission to go out and see what’s happening out in the world, other employment. […] It all depends on what that show is and if it makes sense for me to do it. By then, my line of celebrity chili might’ve really hit the shelves and then I won’t need him anymore.”
