   	What really amazes me is that by now it's got to be about as long   
   that Conan's been without Andy as he was *with* Andy Richter.  It was just   
   back seven years ago this May that we were singing about how there's a lot   
   of Andy Richters out there, wasn't it?

   	It's kind of Andy Kaufman-esque for a joke like that, really.   
      
   	I don't think Andy's got much to be embarrassed about -- he has   
   had two sitcoms, one short-lived and one sure giving off all the signs   
   of being short-lived, that were at least critically successful and taken   
   as evidence that there's fresh and original stuff to be done within the   
   bounds of half-hour comedy, and he's had one much less challenging sitcom   
   and some rather good guest appearances or voice-over bits.  Most folks   
   don't even get one chance like it, and if he hasn't got a home run yet,   
   it certainly looks like he'll be getting as many at-bats as he likes.
