Andy Richter: Work for Peace

Andy Richter (Conan, Madagascar, Three Questions with Andy Richter podcast) opens up about his childhood, mental health struggles, and his almost 30-year tenure as a late night tv sidekick. He details his experience with depression and lack of self-assuredness at an early age, and explains what lured him to performing. Andy describes the lack of agency and confusion he felt for being okay with his role as a sidekick, learning to be by himself and navigate the dating world after divorce, and what might be next for his professional career. Mayim and Andy consider the benefits of therapy and medication, the importance of mental healthcare for low income individuals, and the psychological benefits of having a dog. Mayim discusses ways to manage mental health while grieving in another installment of Ask Mayim Anything. __ Ask Mayim Anything: https://www.bialikbreakdown.com/#ask-mayim Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6TgOe2poCdpZtQwKetQmU1?si=tNfrJj02QpuJpmk-3UBPuA&nd=1 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/id1546456269 Sign up for Mayim Bialik's Breakdown Newsletter: https://www.bialikbreakdown.com​​ Find Mayim Bialik: https://www.facebook.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.twitter.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.instagram.com/MissMayim/​​​ https://www.tiktok.com/@MayimBialik Find Andy Richter: https://www.facebook.com/hoorayforandyrichter https://www.twitter.com/@AndyRichter https://www.instagram.com/@richtercommaandy https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-three-questions-with-andy-richter/id1468533126 Theme Song Written, Produced, and Performed by Ed Robertson.
