Andy Riesmeyer is a Los Angeles–based television host, journalist, and digital media veteran working at the intersection of news, culture, and whatever strange thing is currently trending on the internet. (It’s a three-way stop. There are occasional accidents.)

He is currently an on-air anchor and reporter at KTLA, where he specializes in trend-driven stories, pop culture coverage, and conversational segments that translate internet culture and real-world news for a broad audience. Whether he’s breaking down a viral moment or guiding a live discussion, Andy approaches the news with curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of self-awareness.

Andy’s perspective is shaped by a career spent both in front of and behind the camera. Before moving into local news, he worked as a director and creative lead, producing content for major brands including Hot Wheels, AT&T, and Red Bull. That background - combined with deep roots in comedy - gives him a rare ability to balance technical precision with the improvisational energy of live television.

Over the course of his career, Andy has built and hosted multiple original shows and produced viral content across news, comedy, talk, food, travel, and branded entertainment. He has interviewed countless celebrities, newsmakers, and influencers - some of whom still return his calls.

On radio, Andy hosts The Andy Riesmeyer Show on KFI AM 640, a weekly Sunday program focused on Los Angeles life, media, and the stories people are actually talking about. The show blends local news, cultural observation, humor, and listener interaction. A listener once said, “I prefer the other guy,” but since we didn’t know which other guy the listener was referring to, Andy stayed! 

Andy began his career shooting, editing, and producing his own content long before “creator” was a job title. He later helped shape digital programming strategies as online video reshaped the media landscape in the 2010s. Today, he bridges the gap between legacy broadcast and modern digital platforms, with work that has been viewed more than one billion times.
