Andy Blitz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andy Blitz (born June 28, 1971) is an American writer/actor/comedian best known for his sketch comedy work on the late-night talk show, Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Andy graduated from Columbia University in 1994 and began his work on Late Night in 1999. Perhaps his best known sketch on the show was when he traveled all the way to India to NBC's computer help center to get his computer fixed. He also created the boyband sensation Dudez A Plenti, which is on Conan's 10th Anniversary DVD. Andy regularly performs stand-up and sketch comedy in the New York City area as well. Andy's brother is filmmaker Jeffrey Blitz, director of the 2002 documentary Spellbound.
