Andy Richter is dancing away from his haters.
After his elimination on the Nov. 11 episode of Dancing With the Starsthe comedian shared that those making negative comments online regarding his time on the show were overshadowed by the love he had received from his castmates.
“I have to say the beautiful pros on this show made me feel that I belonged here and that I deserved to be here,” Andy told Joey Graziadei on the Nov. 12 episode of the official Dancing With the Stars podcast. “They said it so early and so often that I had no choice but to believe them.”
He continued, “It made all the people that were mad that I was still here absolutely insignificant because the people that know—which are the pros that are here—embraced me and made me feel so loved and so valuable to the whole thing.”
Andy, the oldest celebrity on the season at age 59, was ultimately the eighth contestant to face elimination, outlasting fellow stars like Danielle Fishel, Scott Hoying, Lauren Jauregui and more.
