Richter told Page Six that O’Brien officiated his wedding at the couple’s home in West Hollywood on Saturday after his wife’s friend had to cancel last minute
Andy Richter married his fiancée Jennifer Herrera with a little help from his longtime friend and comedy partner, Conan O’Brien!
The TV host officiated his longtime comedy partner’s wedding at the couple’s home in West Hollywood on Saturday, after Herrera’s friend was unable to officiate at the last minute, Richter told Page Six.
“I knew he had done it [before] because he married our wardrobe designer on our show,” he told the publication on Tuesday at the Tribeca Film Festival. “So I asked him to do it and he did it!”
The actor added that his wedding celebration was “like a low-key house party, it was a nice party.”
Richter and O’Brien have a long history of working side-by-side on O’Brien’s talk show ventures, including Late Night and The Tonight Show on NBC and Conan on TBS. He has also starred in other television shows and films, including the Madagascar series.
He surprised fans with the news of his nuptials by posting a photo of the pair sharing a slice of wedding cake.
“We got married,” he captioned the simple post.
Richter revealed the news of his engagement to Herrera in November 2022 after keeping the relationship under wraps. He announced the happy news on Election Day.

The couple share two children, William and Mercy, who each said in separate statements that they were committed to co-parenting.
