Andy Richter gets another chance at prime time

&quot;<strong>LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) --
Conan O'Brien and his former sidekick on NBC's &quot;Late Night,&quot; Andy
Richter, are reuniting for NBC primetime, and this time Richter is the
leading man.</strong><p>The network has ordered &quot;Andy Barker P.I.,&quot; a
detective comedy pilot starring Richter, which O'Brien co-wrote and is
executive producing.</p><p>Richter plays the title character, an
accountant who sets up a business in an office formerly belonging to a
private investigator. As he starts panicking that no clients are coming
in, people looking for the office's previous occupant begin to give him
detective cases that he somewhat reluctantly takes on.</p><p>&quot;Andy
Barker&quot; stems from a germ of an idea O'Brien had been kicking around
for a while. In the fall, he teamed with Jonathan Groff, former
longtime head writer of &quot;Late Night,&quot; and the two quickly developed and
wrote the pilot.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/03/07/television.richter.reut/index.html" target="_self">&nbsp;Link to CNN for full story</a><br /></p><hr width="100%" size="2" />I actually find Andy Richter funny, but I doubt America is ready for another Richter sitcom.<br /><p>&nbsp;</p>

Maybe a show on NBC will help Andy more than FOX, also having Conan creating it will help.
