	Andy Richter Controls the Universe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andy Richter Controls the Universe was a short-lived sitcom (2002-2003) on FOX starring Andy Richter as a man named Andy just trying to make it in the real world.
		In the show, Andy writes short stories with the aid of his active imagination, though to pay the bills Andy works at a large conglomerate in Chicago writing instruction manuals.
		For example, when Andy woke up in Byron's bed in a hotel, we see his ideas that it could have been due to a mischievous gang of homosexuals or an abduction by aliens who were a bit sloppy on the details.

	Andy Richter , Celebrity profile, bio, biography
		Richter began pursuing a career as a performer in Chicago, where Andy Richter studied improvisational theater with Del Close and worked with a number of improv comedy groups, including the Annoyance Theater, ImprovOlympia, and Comedy Underground.
		While in L.A., Andy Richter scored his first film role, a small but showy part in the Chris Elliott-vehicle Cabin Boy, but his biggest stroke of luck came when he was hired as a writer for a new talk show being hosted by former Simpsons and Late Night With David Letterman writer Conan O'Brien.
		Andy Richter and O'Brien soon discovered they had a natural comic rapport, and by the time Late Night With Conan O'Brien debuted in the fall of 1993, Andy Richter had become O'Brien's on-air sidekick, exchanging banter with the host and participating in a variety of comic sketches.

		Andy Richter, who is 29, has a small office overlooking Sixth Avenue.
		Richter studied journalism at the University of Illinois and film at Columbia College in Chicago (but he didn't graduate).
		Off camera, Richter is genuine, funny without necessarily being "on." He mentions, in passing, that he's been trying to get in shape, and somehow that's where the conversation stays.

	Andy Richter Controls The Universe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Richter tries to be the king of almost cool nerds, but you know he's the type of guy who played with action figures till he was 25, then somehow found fame.
		And the one where Andy was accused of being racist b/c he insulted his African-American coworker's Irish heritage, and the whole office had to go to sensitivity training, and then he started dating the guy's sister, and they feared people would have a problem with their relationship b/c they both hated Riverdance.
		Andy was the average joe, the underdog, the guy on the street, who everyone identified with.

	Andy Richter seeks control of 'Universe'
		Which makes you sort of wish that Richter controlled at least the part of the universe dealing with TV because "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," which makes its debut at 7:30 p.m.
		Like the puppies with which Richter frolics in more than one of his Walter Mitty-esque daydreams, it all but dares you not to love it and, with requisite crinkled nose, note just how adorable it is. If only we haven't seen so many of the tricks in its bag before.
		Richter, the former sidekick to "Late Night" host Conan O'Brien who resembles a young John Madden, is a put-upon technical writer at a Chicago mega-corporation that produces everything from night lights to nuclear missiles.

		Richter stars as Andy, a technical writer who is bored with his job at the world's fifth largest company.
		In "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," Andy is far too uninspired by his job, and far too awkward with women to be the snide sort.
		Every moment of Andy's life is rife with "what-ifs." His mind is awash with everything from what if he had a heart attack to what if the mistake he inserted into Byron's design actually got made.

		Andy, who works for a huge Chicago company that manufactures everything from night lights to nuclear missiles, has a crush on secretary Wendy (Irene Molloy, so good as the Shannen Doherty character on The WB's short-lived "Grosse Pointe").
		Andy barely can get up the courage to say hello to her in the premiere episode.
		"Andy Richter" follows the trend of other recent television comedies, forsaking a laugh track for special effects, including the frequent sound of a tape rewinding as Andy re-imagines a scene.

		Andy spends most of his time at the office, which means he actually spends most of his time in his head, rescuing all the colorless moments that make up the better part of his life from the yawning pit of workaday meaninglessness.
		In the season's first episode, Andy's boss Jessica (the marvelously deadpan Paget Brewster) tells him and his colleagues that the company is offering a finder's fee of $3,000 to anyone who helps recruit a nonwhite technical writer to the firm.
		In this week's episode, Andy figured out that the perfect man he has found for Jessica is actually a set of identical twins (whom she later describes as "Talky" and "Humpy") that are sharing her behind her back.

		For Andy Richter is perhaps the first sidekick in talk show history whom it is a pure pleasure to watch.
		The other night, Conan and Andy were in the middle of their recurring bit "If They Mated," in which the theoretical progeny of romantically linked celebrities is pictured through garish photographic montages.
		It is understandable why Andy Richter is quitting "Late Night": Not because of the first half of the show, in which he is a vital participant, but because of the second half, when he has to sit in a chair on the set, McMahon-like, and not say a word.

		Richter stars as Andy (''they definitely wanted me to be called Andy -- I didn't realize I was a brand,'' he notes), a technical writer and aspiring author who toils away at a huge, faceless corporation that resembles General Electric, parent company of Richter's former employers NBC.
		Yes, Andy Richter, a driving force of the Dadaistic comedy of ''Late Show with Conan O'Brien,'' is starring in TV's umpteenth office sitcom -- something he once said he'd never do.
		Richter says he wanted to do the show because of its central conceit: His character unreliably narrates the story, which means that we see Andy's fantasies about dying or showing up at work in a suit made of puppies (yeah, it's a little bit like ''Scrubs'').

		Andy tells her that he is uncomfortable with her view, and she points out that they don't have to have the same preferences or opinions, whether on food, entertainment, politics or race.
		Andy leaves the woman without an explanation, and we are left at the end of the show knowing that A) Jews are nice old people who run community centers, B) bigots can be female too, but only White females, and C) Andy Richter is fully within the clutches of his Jewish masters.
		She said nothing hateful, she even tried to have a discussion with Andy, and he refused like a good little lemming, instead choosing to live in his little PC universe where everything is fine and the only people capable of racism are whites.

	JS Online: Andy Richter really is in control
		Almost despite itself, Richter's first shot at prime time hooks you with sly, disarming whimsy and then reels you in with smarter comedy than you expect.
		Richter, who lends his name to his character, plays a bored technical writer for Pickering Industries, your basic multinational monolith, who pens an occasional short story and indulges in non-stop daydreams.
		It's there in the crisp execution of the shorter sight gags, too: Andy imagining getting back at an annoying colleague by stuffing a wastebasket over his head, or by putting a live goat, prettily done up in red ribbon, in the boss' office.

		We see Andy at work, interacting with his buddies and fellow employees, having the hots for a cute receptionist, and arguing with the strange old ghost of the company's foudner who taunts and derides Andy.
		This is why I was surprised to see Andy Richter brought back from the overflowing dumpster of shows Fox hasn't given a proper chance.
		Apparently, the guidelines Fox gave Richter when they agreed to revive the show was that each show had to be a stand-alone rather than having episodes follow a linear pattern.

		I watched Andy Richter on TV when I was 12, so I may have had a bit of a different sense of humor.
		The writing from Andy Richter was not allowed to progress beyond its infant stage, so every episode is perfection.
		Richter's comedy fell outside the lines of "mainstream" comedy I suppose, and the show did not include a laugh track (something which I find utterly appalling).
