Andy Richter had his close friend Conan O’Brien by his side when he tied the knot with Jennifer Herrera over the weekend.
The former “Late Night” host served as the officiant at the couple’s wedding, Richter exclusively told at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of “First Time Female Director” Monday.
“I haven’t mentioned this to anybody. Two days ago, he married me and my wife,” he revealed.
The “Madagascar” star explained that O’Brien, 60, stepped into the role after Herrera’s friend had to pull out.
“I knew he had done it [before] because he married our wardrobe designer on our show,” he said. “So I asked him to do it and he did it!”
Richter — who was O’Brien’s sidekick on “Late Night,” “The Tonight Show” and “Conan” — shared the wedding took place at the newlyweds’ home in West Hollywood, Calif.

The exes share two children.
