Conan O’Brien sidekick Andy Richter understands that telling your family you’re gay can be a difficult thing to do. That’s why this holiday season, Richter has a limited-time offer in which he, comedian Deon Cole, the Basic Cable Band and George Takei will inform your relatives for you.

“Coming out to your family during the holidays is never easy,” Ritcher says during the faux commercial that aired on Tuesday night’s “Conan.” “It can be a delicate process, and sometimes you need a helpful nudge. That’s where I come in.”

For $99.95, Richter will tell your loved ones that you’re gay. For an additional $19.95, Cole will tag along. But the pièce de résistance, and costing just an extra $1.95 (what a deal!), is homosexual icon George Takei popping out from behind a curtain to congratulate you for sharing your secret. “Welcome to the wonderful world of gay!” he says enthusiastically. But the “Star Trek” actor comes bearing a stern warning for family members: “If any of you motherf**kers give him s**t about it, I am going to come back and f**k your s**t up.”
