LOS ANGELES (AP) – Andy Richter and Conan O'Brien's writers will take the spotlight in a TBS special to be taped during a Chicago comedy festival this month. The one-hour special, with the working title 'Team Coco presents Conan's Writers Live', is scheduled to air at 11 p.m. Bermuda time on June 27. The show will be taped on June 17 during the second annual Just for Laughs festival presented by TBS. The festival runs from June 15 to 19.

Tickets for the 'Team Coco' show, which will also feature music by comedian Reggie Watts, went on sale last week. Richter, who was O'Brien's sidekick on 'The Tonight Show'and will play the same role on O'Brien's upcoming TBS talk show, will host the special. Richter also is on a nationwide comedy tour with O'Brien.

The show keeps O'Brien and his new TBS show in the public eye while giving the redhead nicknamed 'Coco' a break.

O'Brien's new programme will air Mondays through Thursdays at midnight Bermuda time, which will shift 'Lopez Tonight', starring George Lopez, to midnight.
