Andy Richter is currently at the bottom of the leaderboard for Dancing with the Stars Season 34. But his numbers can take a hike, as this comedian remains all-in on this competition. Now, this series has already created several stressful moments for Andy. Nevertheless, this dancing newbie hopes to stick around for several additional episodes this season.
Andy Richter initially wanted to turn down Dancing with the Stars
Andy recently sat down with his former work pal Conan O’Brien on SiriusXM’s Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. As Andy explained, once he saw the invitation from DWTS, his “first reaction was, turn it down and don’t tell anyone. Because they’d be like, why wouldn’t you do it?”
Well, as Andy detailed, he did not want to accept this invitation. “Because crabby baby does not want to [get] pushed out of his comfort zone, basically, is the long and short of it,” he said. Once he accepted this invitation, Andy began experiencing “stress dreams.” However, he “signed up for it,” so he “was going to do it,” he decided.
But now that Week 2 has passed, Andy is realizing that the competition this season is stiff. Yet, he remains “hopeful that I’ll stick around for a little bit, because I do think, like, it’s a TV show,” he explained. And since this industry also aims to entertain, Andy asked, “Who do you want to see in the TV show? If you’re going to watch this show next week, who do you want to see on the TV show if somebody has to go?”
Moving forward, Andy wishes for everyone to “Vote for your favorite dancer, not the best dancer” on DWTS Season 34.
Dancing with the Stars Season 34 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+. It will stream on Hulu the next day.
