One way:

A1:    Last, First

B1:   =TRIM(MID(A1, FIND(",", A1) + 1, 255))

C1:   =TRIM(LEFT(A1, FIND(",", A1) - 1))

Copy B1:C1 down as far as needed.

You can then get rid of the formulae by selecting columns B:C, Copy,
then Edit/Paste Special, selecting the Values radio button. Delete
column A to finish.
