Andy Richter: known for a decades-long career that has spanned television, film and the stage. Remember him in Arrested Development playing five versions of himself? Or as the lead man in Fox's Andy Richter Controls the Universe? Or even in the movies Madasgascar and Elf? He's the man behind many of our laughs, especially in his continued role as Conan O'Brien's sidekick. Jill Riley got a chance to sit down with Richter for a Theft Of The Dial where he spun favorite songs as diverse as Jesus Christ Superstar's "The Door."
