From where I'm standing, this news came out of nowhere, and I almost can't even believe, but holy shit, Andy Richter is going to be the new Tonight Show announcer!

Richter, who worked with O'Brien for seven years on NBC's "Late Night," will become the "Tonight" show announcer when O'Brien takes over from Jay Leno as host in June. NBC said Richter also will take part in comedy bits.

O'Brien called Richter a friend and one of the funniest people he knows, but couldn't resist a joke: O'Brien said he's looking forward to their reunion because Richter owes him $300.

This is just like if my parents got back together, except with people I love.

After the jump, a classic Late Night clip with Andy and Conan. You know the one.
