DWTS Fans Rally Around Unlikely Winner

Andy Richter amused fans for decades as Conan O’Brien’s late-night sidekick. But he’s showing another side of himself as a contestant on DWTS. He’s not the greatest dancer. The funny man is regularly at the bottom of the leaderboard. He’s faced elimination several times but always manages to survive another week, thanks to fan votes.

It’s unlikely, but not impossible, that Andy Richter will take home the Mirrorball Trophy. But dedicated fans want to see him stay on the show as long as possible. His scores from the judges aren’t impressive, but votes from viewers push him through to the next round.

His unexpected success on the show has led to talks from producers about overhauling the voting system before the next season. But in the meantime, viewers are going to vote for Andy Richter regardless of his dance performance.

Andy Richter Brings Partner To Tears With Gesture

This week’s competition will be a tough one for Andy Richter and his partner, Emma Slater. But whatever happens on the dance floor, their relationship goes beyond the reality TV competition. Season 34 has lacked in showmances compared to the previous seasons.

But what’s lacking in showmances, Emma Slater and Andy Richer make up for with their own unique relationship. The comedian proved he’s a Girl Dad with his Dedication Night dance for his daughter, Cornelia. He’s taken on a dad role with his DWTS partner, too.

Emma Slater got emotional when she shared a video on social media of Andy Richter changing her license plates. He removed the temporary ones and replaced them with the real ones that had been in her car for “months.”

The professional dancer left her home in England in 2005 to move to Los Angeles, California, to pursue a career in dance. “He’s such an angel,” Emma Slater captioned the Instagram post sharing Andy Richter’s sweet gesture. Fans took to the comments to gush over the wholesome moment.

“Love how you have become a “bonus” daughter to him”
“This is why Andy gets all 10 of my votes every week”
“I love this. Andy is the best.”
“can we just give him the mirror ball right now. This was so pure”
“Americas sweetheart/Americas Dad! Is there anything he can’t do???”

Fans worry about Andy Richter’s health in such a physical competition. But despite any health issues, he wants to stay in the competition as long as he can. After seeing his sweet gesture, fans are even more likely to vote for him.
