Conan was at his best at Late Night after Andy left, he didn't use him as a comedy crutch, and he really flourished.
Unfortunately ditching Andy probably won't happen.

I agree. Max is a much better sidekick to Conan. He plays the straight man to Conan's jester. Andy almost tries to one-up Conan, interjecting constantly, and it's more miss than hit.
I miss Joel Godard, the guy played his role beautifully as announcer as a running punchline.
I remember times during late night when I was giddy in anticipation at some of his bits. The Walker Texas Ranger lever, interviews with Schwarzenegger/Clinton/Martha Stewart on his deskside tv, Triumpth bits, pretty much any skit with Max.
I'm hoping Conan will still find his niche on TBS.
