If you've been hiding under a rock for the last 9 months, then you don't know that our beloved Andy has left the show. His last day was Friday, May 26. I along with Conan himself and many other fans cried as we wished him a fond fairwell, and good luck in the future of showbusiness. We'll miss you, old pal.
Andy Richter lives in New York City with his wife, actress Sarah Thyre. She's crazy with a capitol K!
