Andy Richter joins Greg Fitzsimmons to go behind the scenes of Elf, from Will Ferrell and Jon Favreau’s different approaches to the movie to costume emergencies, practical effects, and filming a Christmas classic in a former mental hospital. Andy discusses his new book, Elf Unwrapped, and what he learned interviewing the people who made the film.

They also get into life after Conan, Hollywood’s shrinking paychecks, raising kids who are figuring out their careers, and why successful people still find ways to feel rejected. Plus, Andy talks Dancing with the Stars and his call-in show, and Greg reveals how he almost ended up on a date with Paula Abdul.
