Andy Richter isn't exactly sad that Jay Leno's ratings have dipped below those of Conan O'Brien before he left 'The Tonight Show.'"I don't want to wish ill will on anybody, but I would be lying to you if I said it didn't feel a little bit fun to hear that -- that there wasn't some kind of feeling of reward in that," Richter told the New York Post. "It is kind of vindicating in a way."
Richter and O'Brien will get their own shot at ratings glory on Nov. 8, when 'Conan' debuts on TBS. But old feelings certainly do die hard, in this case.
"I think that one of the reasons we ended up leaving was because of their impatience with us," Richter said. " And I think that was a mistake on their part. So I had a hunch about that, and it is nice to have that hunch seemingly proven true."

WOW you said it all
I hate both of them. I scream whenever I see him on TV because he is so stupid.
This war with Jay was idiotic. People said Jay shouldn't take back "The Tonight Show" because it was Conan's dream.
Well hell, it was Jay's dream also. Why did he have to give his dream job up for a whining potty mouth idiot that acts like he is 13.
Andy is just pissed because they cancelled his show a LONG TIME AGO!
I PRAY they FAIL every day because they are cruel, hateful, and deserve NOTHING!
@Debra
You pray everyday that they fail? Give me a break! Sounds like you need to find a new hobby.
Conan Nov. 8th!!!! woohoo!
Not replacing anybody? Isn't George Lopez in that time slot on TBS right now?

George Lopez and connan sucks
Right On Andy!
Those dips at NBC didn't know what the hell they were doing. They killed a great lineup along with L&O. You guys are the best in what you do and I wish you much success.

Leno is getting what he deserves. People saw his ugly side and it was a real turn off. I'm looking forward to Nov. 8th!!

Jay's ugly side. Are you INSANE? Why did Jay have to give up his DREAM JOB for that whining d**k? Why? You think his jokes are funny? YOU must be 12! Conan showed his ugly side from the moment he stepped on the stage at "Late Night".
I hope they fail. I hope you do too.
@Debra
I stand by my statement that Leno showed his ugly side, and I think you just showed yours. How sad for you that you are filled with such bitterness.
Andy Richter is a jerk, he left Conan for a better career - where has it got him, No where = I don't enjoy Conan nor Andy. What a poor sport Andy is ranting about Leno when he had nothing to do with Conan's show back then. I don't see Conan's new show going anywhere, he is not as funny as he thinks he is....

Richter just isn't funny. Is there anything he's been in that hasn't failed miserably? He'll always be a "second banana" NO I take that back. He'll always be a lemon and O'Brien a big irish goof.

Oh yeah, pushing Lopez back an hour only to be pulled off the air when they are totally sucking in a few months and get pulled themselves. At least Lopez has a personality and is funny, these guys together or separately can't make it in the big leagues.

All you nay-sayers will be surprised... Team Coco has a much larger following than you think! I'm guessing most of you are older. Their humor doesn't seem to appeal to old people. Go Conan!! Boo to Leno.

Agreed! :)
Conan's the best! and I can't wait til he's on my TV again!
