Andy Richter was on Lopez Tonight last night to promote the premiere of Conan this Monday Nov. 8th. He talked about how he and Conan were slighted (aka screwed over) by NBC and he even took a shot at Jay Leno (and rightly so!): Conan O’Brien’s new late night talk show premieres Monday at 11pm [...]
