The Andy Dick Show was a television program on MTV created by comedian Andy Dick; it lasted two seasons from 2001-2003. This low-budget program is considered to be the successor to The Ben Stiller Show, which Dick starred in.
Andy Dick obviously hasn't been paying attention to the backlash against Michael Richards. According to TMZ.com, the comedian reportedly got onstage on Dec. 2 at L.A.'s Improv comedy club and began joking with comedian Ian Bagg.

Dick continued to perform at coffee houses and open-mike nights when Ben Stiller (whom he met in Chicago) tapped him to appear in the short film Elvis Stories (1989).

As all this played out very publicly, Dick became more a punchline than a comedian, the butt of jokes on Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, South Park, and David Letterman's Late Show. In a court deal to wipe away the charges, Dick went into rehab, and he has claimed to be clean and sober since, with his career seemingly back on track. Still, there is some speculation that all is not well in Dick's world. He reportedly acted "berserk" backstage at a 2006 celebrity roast for William Shatner, licking Farrah Fawcett and Carrie Fisher, then fondling and biting a journalist and offering to supply her with cocaine. In February 2007, he was booted from the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live after groping Ivanka Trump.
