Andy Richter Andy Richter: Does his reunion with Conan mean failure or success? Michael Buckner/Getty Images Entertainment

When Conan O'Brien takes over The Tonight Show on June 1, he'll be joined by his original sidekick/announcer, Andy Richter, who worked on his Late Night show from 1993 to 2000.

After his previous Late Night stint, Richter starred in a couple of well-regarded sitcoms that ultimately failed, including Andy Richter Controls The Universe and Andy Barker, P.I., and he never really found a stable comedy home.

Reactions to Richter's return and video evidence that it's worth looking forward to, after the jump...

One way to see Richter's return is as a waste of talent that could be put to better use than it will be as Conan's announcer; another is as a welcome reunion of a great team.

Either way, Andy and Conan will likely have a lot of fun together, as you can see from Richter's appearance on O'Brien's last show, which starts at about the 18:30 mark.
