…one of these guys is proving to be a much more viable late night sidekick. And I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the one who’s a seasoned comedian. Instead, it’s the little hispanic guy who sits in a highchair and injects— maybe— a comment or two an episode.
Meanwhile, Andy Richter, whose chemistry with Conan O’ Brien was magical in the early days of Late Night with Conan O’Brien, is just a massive dud. I really do hate to say it (because I genuinely believe Richter to be funny), but he’s not translating in this Ed McMahon role. Not at all. Every time the camera cuts to him he looks nervous and fidgety and just, well, out of place. They’ve got him all bottled up in a suit and tie and the whole image doesnt fit . I actually find myself feeling uncomfortable for him.
I never thought I’d say it, but in the battle of Richter vs. Chuy, it’s unquestionably Viva la Mexico.
