Conan O'Brien is cheering on his longtime friend and sidekick Andy Richter on this season of Dancing With The Stars.
During a recent interview with NESN, the talk show host was asked how he's feeling as Richter takes "the world by storm" during his underdog run on the ABC reality show.
"He is a phenomenon. I am a proud dad. I’m also a proud mom — I’m both those figures to Andy. I text with him all the time," O'Brien said. "Every time he gets by a new hurdle, I’m just delighted for him."
"He’s America’s sweetheart! I keep texting him and telling him how happy I am," he added.
