Joel Godard
When Conan O'Brien left "Late Night" to take over "The Tonight Show", Godard did not follow him to Los Angeles. Godard wrote on his Facebook fan page that "Reports of my retirement were exaggerated. Conan just didn't take me to California with him. I remain in New York City with no LA lease to be stuck with!!!" Instead, former "Late Night" sidekick Andy Richter was hired as announcer on "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien", and "Saturday Night Live" producer Steve Higgins became the announcer on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon".
