It has been hosted by Ken Freedman and Andy Breckman since the early 1990s.

Monk creator and episode writer Andy Breckman appears as a spectator at the sidewalk card game.

He was hired to the show by Saturday Night Live writer and fellow WFMU DJ Andy Breckman.

In 1969, Andy Mousalimas, an original creator of GOPPPL and participant in the inaugural draft, brought the game to his sports bar, the King's X in Oakland, CA, where he added another couple leagues.

Originally suggested by the series ' producer Sam Register, creator Glen Murakami was delighted when he realised Andy Sturmer would be writing and producing the track.

The show was produced by creator Aaron Ruben, Andy Griffith Show producer Sheldon Leonard ( in partnership with Griffith ), and Ronald Jacobs ; it was co-produced by Bruce Bayley Johnson and Duke Vincent.

He is known as the creator of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.

Big ( Andy Lau ) was a Buddhist Monk, but he gave up this occupation when he realized he could see a person's past life, which would mean he would be able to predict what would happen to that person because of Karma.

`` Fred was mighty crude about the way he took in cattle '' his own hired man, Andy Ross, mentioned later.

Andy Ross had just started swinging an ax at his second willow when the distant blast of a rifle sounded.

Andy did not see the newspapers the next day.

Someone on his staff -- he suspected it was Ed Thornburg -- intercepted them and for this Andy was grateful.

Hub shook his head so Andy told him not to bother.

The omission might look peculiar to outsiders, but Andy could not bring himself to go through the motions simply for the sake of appearances.

Charlie Marble was back and forth on several occasions, first to confer with Andy on the advisability of cancelling the Las Vegas engagement -- they decided it was wise -- and later to announce that a prominent comedian, also an agency client, had agreed to fill the casino's open date.

Andy invented a job to keep him busy, sending him ahead to El Dorado to supervise last minute arrangements.

Hub, nosing about, spotted reporters in the lobby, so Andy was hustled away quietly through the hotel's service entrance in a strange car which Hub had procured somewhere.

Long before he reached the protection of the stage door, Andy was recognized.

It was not a hostile gathering but Andy sensed the difference from last night's hero-worshippers.

`` It's worse inside '', Thornburg informed Andy.

Andy couldn't help but be touched.

Andy gathered that this had been no small accomplishment.

Andy told him, `` Bake, I wish you'd talk to Skolman, see if some kind of p. a. system can be rigged up outside.

Andy rolled up the revised script he had been studying.

Andy sighed.

Andy crumbled the script in his fist.

Thornburg popped in to advise, `` Andy, Skolman's sending up smoke signals.

Thornburg added in a lower voice but Andy overheard, `` They act more like a jury than an audience ''.

Andy said, `` Well, I guess we can't wait any longer.

But this was no ordinary show and Andy knew it.

Yet Andy plowed ahead, mouthing the inconsequential words as if they possessed real meaning, and gradually his listeners warmed to him.

As Andy reached the finale of his act, a subdued commotion backstage drew his attention to the wings.

Andy felt his heart thud heavily with relief.
