![]() In fact, we’re coming up on our hundredth episode. Is your 3 Questions podcast still something that’s going to continue on? I don’t know if it’s my improv background, but I just wait and see what happens and then make the decision when it’s time to make the decision and try not to sweat it too much until that time. I mean, that’s just how I do things, that’s how I’ve always done things. It’s nothing… And nobody’s attempting to deceive anybody, and there’s not anything really interesting … besides just a difference in what the next show should be and what will work.Īre you interested in continuing on or you’re just going to wait and see what it is? It’s just that there isn’t any information. That’s the source of the… I don’t know, the lack of information. It’s up in the air because they can’t settle on what the new show is. So you’re not continuing on with the new show in any capacity, or is that still up in the air? ![]() Which is a shame, because we talked about that a fair bit and, more specifically, how the show managed to stay flexible, fresh, and relevant to various age groups. While Richter seems to be in a good place about his future (“I’ve had my moments of like, ‘Holy shit, this show is ending!’ But it’s mostly just having faith in things working out okay, and looking forward to new opportunities”), he doesn’t quite know how to deal with all the kind words people are saying about the show, the legacy, and what he and O’Brien have done on TBS and on NBC before it. It really does seem to depend on what the idea is, which sounds like the healthiest thing in the world if you divorce yourself from how much you love the two of them together and want to see more. Officially, he’s in wait-and-see mode as it pertains to another ride beside O’Brien. But right at the start, he mentioned the word unemployed and spoke about how he’s going on auditions, attached to a game show concept, developing ideas, and potentially looking to get back into directing commercials, which he’s dabbled in previously. To be honest, I went into our Monday conversation unclear about how much Richter would or could say about the future knowing that nothing had been announced officially. We have to accept it because it sounds like Richter has. We have no idea about budgets, scale, ambition, or connection to past things like “Conan Without Borders.” And with that uncertainty, we have to accept that whatever comes next may not include Andy Richter, Conan’s longtime sidekick and comedy consigliere. The truth is, no one knows what Conan O’Brien will do with his announced new HBO Max series (which is set to debut in 2022). ![]() When the last episode of Conan airs on TBS tonight, it’ll be a pause that feels a lot like a stop. ![]()
