You know the economy has slowed when you see Andy Richter working for a pest control company.
I should say I was on a long run the other day and towards the end of the run I came across a house which was undergoing a standard pest control review. The Andy in question was using a stick of some sort to place poison under the gutter of a roof….anyway as I jogged by I saw the Andy in question and I nearly stopped for a autograph.
Of course this was not the Real Andy Richter but it was a complete look alike which tells you how tuff the economy has problem become for impersonators.
Back to the run – as I turned to look back and confirm that it wasn’t the real Andy Richter I wondered how is the real Andy Richter doing, how are the B and C stars of the 90’s and the 00’s doing. It’s got to be tuff for some of them. Remember when Desperate Housewives became a hit?
A little known fact about one of the Desperate Housewives stars was she was basically broke when she did the shows pilot. Rumor had it she was weeks away from selling Lancôme at Macy’s.
So as the economy continues to sputter remember how everyone in the world is actually effected by the slow down. Even a guy like Andy Richter might be finding it hard to find a gig.
