Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars has featured a lot of memorable contestants, but Andy Richter has quickly become a fan favorite. The experienced comedian and actor has won over viewers with his dances alongside professional partner Emma Slater. As Richter continues on the show, he’s also celebrating his birthday and has been showered with well wishes from Slater and others. He’s also using this moment to encourage people to vote for him!

Andy Richter celebrated his 59th birthday on October 28th, and what better way to mark the occasion than with a performance on Dancing with the Stars? The show is set to air tonight as part of the 2025 TV lineup. Before that, Dancing with the Stars honored Richter’s birthday with a special post on their official Instagram account, including a photo of the Late Night star and a heartfelt message.

Emma Slater recently took a moment to celebrate someone she’s been working with on some great rehearsal videos. She shared a collection of photos and clips on Instagram with a kind message.

It warmed my heart seeing all the birthday love for Andy Richter! He genuinely seemed touched by everyone’s messages, which he shared on his posts. But honestly, there’s something he wants even more on his birthday: your votes! He posted a video on Instagram basically begging us to support him and Slater in this upcoming spooky dance competition. Seriously, he’s really hoping we’ll help them out – check out his message below!

It seems Richter is really determined to stay on the show. He even made a note of all the voting times for different time zones in the U.S. He clearly doesn’t want to leave, and I admire his dedication.

Throughout the competition, Richter has stayed optimistic about how well he’s doing. He also appreciates Emma Slater for using social media to gain votes. While many fans love Richter, some are surprised he hasn’t been eliminated yet. Interestingly, even the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns got into a playful argument over him, despite the fact that he doesn’t even come from Ohio!

Andy Richter’s journey on the show has been a real underdog success story, and it’s been great to watch. It would be a lovely surprise if he could avoid elimination on his birthday, but we’ll have to see what happens.
