Early Life

Andy Richter was born Paul Andrew Richter on October 28, 1966, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His mother, Glenda, was a kitchen cabinet designer, and his father, Laurence, taught Russian at Indiana University. When Andy was 4 years old, his parents divorced, and Laurence later came out as gay. Richter grew up in Yorkville, Illinois, with three siblings, and he attended Yorkville High School. After graduating in 1984, he enrolled at University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, then transferred to Columbia College Chicago to study film.

Career

Andy left Columbia in 1988 and found work as a production assistant on Chicago commercial shoots. He started taking classes at Improv Olympic in 1989 and soon became a "House Performer." He began working with the Annoyance Theatre, and when their popular show "The Real Live Brady Bunch" moved to New York City, Richter asked if he could play Mike since the original actor decided not to appear in the NYC production. Two of his co-stars, Melanie Hutsell and Beth Cahill, were cast on "Saturday Night Live," which led to Andy meeting writer Robert Smigel, who later hired him to write for a new talk show, "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." A few weeks before the show premiered, Richter became O'Brien's sidekick; he appeared in more than 1,200 episodes before leaving in 2000 to pursue an acting career. While starring on "Late Night," Andy also appeared in the films "Cabin Boy" (1994), "Good Money" (1996), and "The Thin Pink Line" (1998) and guest-starred on "Mr. Show with Bob and David" (1995), "Upright Citizens Brigade" (1998), "LateLine" (1999), and "Strangers with Candy" (2000).

Richter appeared in the films "Dr. T & the Women" (2000), "Dr. Dolittle 2" (2001), "Pootie Tang" (2001), and "Scary Movie 2" (2001), then he began producing and starring in the Fox series "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," which aired 19 episodes over two seasons. He co-starred with Will Ferrell in the 2003 film "Elf," which is one of the most commercially successful holiday films of all time, grossing $223.3 million worldwide. In 2004, Andy began playing Bob Chase on Fox's "Quintuplets," and in a nod to the show, he later played a set of quintuplets (including a fictionalized version of himself) on the critically-acclaimed Fox series "Arrested Development." He voiced Mort in 2005's "Madagascar" and reprised the role in "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa" (2008), and "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" (2012) as well as several related TV series and specials. Richter guest-starred on "Will & Grace" (2006), "The New Adventures of Old Christine" (2006–2008), and "Monk" (2007–2008) and reunited with Will Ferrell in 2006's "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," 2007's "Blades of Glory," and 2008's "Semi-Pro."

In 2009, Andy returned to the world of late-night talk shows as the announcer and sidekick on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien." After Conan walked away from the show in January 2010 due to NBC wanting to move Jay Leno back to the 11:35 p.m. time slot and push "The Tonight Show" to the early morning hours, O'Brien, Richter, and others involved with the show embarked on "The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour," which was filmed for the 2011 documentary "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop." Conan and Andy then moved to TBS for "Conan," which began airing in November 2010 and switched to a half-hour format in January 2019. Though appearing on "Conan" has kept him busy, Richter has found time to appear in the films "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (2013), "Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie" (2016), and "Girlfriend's Day" (2017) and guest-star on numerous shows, such as "Jon Benjamin Has a Van" (2011), "Hot in Cleveland" (2012), "Happy Endings" (2013), "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" (2013), "Santa Clarita Diet" (2017–2018), and "Black-ish" (2019).

Personal Life

Andy met actress Sarah Thyre when they appeared together in a Los Angeles production of "The Real Live Brady Bunch" in the early '90s, and they married on March 18, 1994. The couple has two children, son William and daughter Mercy. In April 2019, Richter announced on social media that he and Thyre had decided to separate after 27 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in August 2019. Sarah is best known for playing Coach Cherri Wolf on "Strangers with Candy," and Andy guest-starred on three episodes of the series.

Richter supports Planned Parenthood, and at a 2016 fundraiser, he revealed that in 1992, he and Thyre were split up when she found out that she was pregnant, and since neither of them felt ready to be a parent, they decided that abortion was the right choice for them. He stated, "Planned Parenthood gave two young struggling people the ability to do the thing that is in their name: We got to plan parenthood. When we could barely care for ourselves, much less a newborn, we were able to choose the time when we brought a child into our lives. Planned Parenthood allowed my wife to make the decisions she needed to make in order to control her body and her health, and maintain her life and her future. And for that, I will be eternally grateful."

In 2009, Andy set a "Celebrity Jeopardy!" record for highest one-day score when he won $68,000 during the "Jeopardy! Million Dollar Celebrity Invitational." He donated his winnings to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
