The Three Questions with Andy Richter Team Coco
-
- Comedy
-
Host Andy Richter asks the same three questions to each guest: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned? These three simple questions, when answered honestly and thoughtfully, are enough to provide a pretty complete picture of who a person is. The answers are what Andy always wants to know about people. This will not be a one-sided process, as Andy won’t shy away from getting personal himself.

Customer Reviews
Andy's idiosyncracies ..
.. really lend themselves to this type of format. Dependant upon the guest, the conversation gets real, talking about things they don't necessarily talk about in other interviews.
Obviously not every guest is gonna be up for real talk, or even real talk with Andy, cuz all they want to do is promote their thing.. but that is on the guest, and not Andy. Even in those instances Andy asks great questions to keep it moving
Andy’s not cut out for hosting
There’s a reason he was always Conan’s sidekick. I love celebrity interview pods but Andy isn’t a good interviewer. He’s unprepared, interrupts to talk about himself constantly, and never has a thoughtful response to what the guest is saying. I like the 3 questions format and would keep listening if there was a different host.
Film school!
Did you know Andy went to film school? That’s the secret 4th question.
