Conan O'Brien and Andy
Richter Star in Detective Comedy Pilot "Andy Barker P.I."
(3/7/06) - Los Angeles. NBC is set to pilot a new detective
comedy starring Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter. Richter plays
the title character, an accountant turned private investigator.
The pilot was written by O'Brien and Jonathan Groff. According
to Groff, the lead character doesn't change. "This is just
a different way for him to be who he is-a really decent, ethical
guy for whom everything has worked out through hard work. He
approaches (private detecting) with the same level with decency;
he would lecture bad guys that it's better to buy, not rent,
their hideaway place."
