'The Eric Andre Show' Gets a Season 2

by | April 30th, 2013

Eric Andre's absurd Adult Swim anti-talk show is getting another season. Accompanied by his bored co-host Hannibal Buress, each episode of The Eric Andre Show finds the comedian playing host to a chaotic, nightmarish talk show with a mix of real and fake guests and hidden camera pranks. The second season is set to premiere on Adult Swim this October. Earlier this season, Andre played a supporting role on ABC's now-canceled Don't Trust the B—-. He recently starred in a Greg Daniels-produced sitcom pilot for NBC. Following a group of 20somethings and their dating lives in a big city, the show is in contention for a spot on the [...]

Here's the Complete Eric Andre New Year's Special

by | January 3rd, 2013

Comedian Eric Andre hosted a live New Year's special on Adult Swim earlier this week, dubbed The Eric Andre New Year's Eve Spooktacular. Adult Swim just posted the whole thing online, and you can watch the 45-minute special (27 without commercials) in its entirety via this link. Andre was joined by co-host Hannibal Buress and guests like Demi Lovato, Omarosa, and Kevin Sorbo. It's every bit as insane as you'd expect an Eric Andre Show special to be, and it's worth watching whether you want to have your own private second New Year's while you watch or not.

Eric Andre Secures His 2013 "Most Unpredictable Talk Show Guest" Nomination

by | December 6th, 2012

Don't Trust the B—- and The Eric Andre Show star Eric Andre got a little out-of-control on G4's Attack of the Show! yesterday, disrobing without any warning. But the show's cancelled, so it's fine, right? Everything's allowed. That's how that works, I'm pretty sure. If there were an award for "Most Unpredictable Talk Show Guest," Andre would be the frontrunner right now, until somebody tries to one-up him by pulling a similar stunt live on The Today Show.

Eric Andre Gets Reallllllllll Comfortable on 'Fallon'

by | June 12th, 2012

Eric knows he's doing something right, if Fallon felt the need to point out "he's a real human" at the end of the interview. Though, if Fallon hadn't, there would be a lot of confused viewers wondering thing like: "Why is that alien so excitable" or "Why did someone bring that giant puppet to life and give it crystal meth?" Below watch Eric sit like he's never used a chair before and discuss head-butting glass to impress a high school girl. (Don't worry ,he was in high school as well; it's not that type of story.)

Adult Swim Has Started Production on a Groundbreakingly Zany Talk Show

by | January 27th, 2012

Adult Swim has started production on what they're calling "he most manic and unorthodox late night talk show ever made." The Eric Andre Show will be hosted by…comic Eric Andre, along with his co-host Mr. Hannibal Burress. Here's a description:

Taking place on a dingy public-access TV channel within an alternate reality, The Eric Andre Show creates its own distorted pop culture universe by conducting interviews with an unpredictable mix of actual celebrities, “fake” celebrities and extreme real-life weirdos. These interviews are broken up with deranged man-on-the-street segments, surreal flashes of inexplicable studio chaos, talk show desk-pieces and the general deconstruction of late night's most beloved tropes in every [...]

Eric Andre Cast in Greg Daniels's NBC Pilot

by | March 8th, 2013

Eric Andre, star of ABC's now-canceled Don't Trust the B and Adult Swim's The Eric Andre Show, has a booked a regular role on another network sitcom. Deadline reports that Andre has been cast as one of the lead characters in an untitled NBC pilot produced by The Office/Parks and Rec/King of the Hill mastermind Greg Daniels and created by Office writer Robert Padnick. This is one of two pilots Greg Daniels has in contention for fall of 2013; the other stars Craig Robinson.

The pilot follows four 20somethings navigating the dating world in a big city. Andre plays Teddy, "who is crass with zero social [...]

Kick Off 2013 Right with Eric Andre's New Year's Eve Spooktacular

by | December 20th, 2012

Don't have plans for New Year's yet? Why not spend it with Eric Andre on Adult Swim? The Eric Andre New Year's Eve Spooktacular will be airing on Monday, December 31st from 11:30pm to 12:15am on Adult Swim and will obviously feature a ton of unpredictable, crazy Eric Andre behavior. Celebrity guests include Demi Lovato, Sebastian Bach, Omarosa, Kevin Sorbo, Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi, and of course, Andre's co-host Hannibal Buress. The 45-minute special will feature a classic New Year's countdown and will be broadcast live in front of a studio audience, which is a pretty gutsy move on Adult Swim's part considering how Eric Andre [...]

Eric Andre Drinks Everyone's Water and Almost Gets Hit 100 Times on 'Conan'

by | July 25th, 2012

Eric Andre has a history of being a bit of a maniac in interviews. It's probably because he plays a maniac on his show and acts like a maniac when on stage and is a maniac. If he can find 9,999 clones of himself, then he'll be ready to record some modest, early 90s Adult Contemporary hits. (What's that? 2012 is a dumb time to drop a 10,000 Maniacs? You're a dumb time, fabricated person. These are the days.) Watch the second part of the interview, after the jump.

Summer Comedy Preview: TV

by | May 15th, 2012

Charlie Sheen is finally coming back to TV everyone!!!! Splitsider readers will no doubt be dancing in the streets when the Two and a Half Men man himself returns to our television sets with a new show this June, but that's not the only TV comedy event of note this summer. While the broadcast networks are taking a much-needed three-month break (probably to reflect on the rapidly-declining popularity of broadcast networks), America's heroic cable channels are swooping in to save the day, offering up a plethora of new comedic programming for comedy snobs and people who like comedy but aren't snobs, alike.

Let's take a look at this summer's [...]

Eric Andre's List of Band Names Is Spectacular

by | January 31st, 2013

Comedian Eric Andre has a website — ericsbandnames.com — where he's listed 300+ really funny band names he's come up with. I looked through the list to try to pick a favorite, but it's a three-way tie between "Alien vs Predator vs Brown vs The Board of Education," "World War 33 1/3," and "Some of the Best White People You've Ever Met."

T.J. Miller One-Ups Eric Andre's Crazy 'Attack of the Show!' Appearance

by | December 7th, 2012

Comedian Eric Andre had an out-of-control appearance on G4's recently-canceled series Attack of the Show! Wednesday, which resulted in him exposing himself and yelling about how the show was canceled so it didn't matter. Not to be outdone, yesterday's guest T.J. Miller also exposed himself and got physical with a Christmas tree. I guess Attack of the Show's last weeks on the air will just be filled with naked pandemonium.

Talking with Eric Andre, Kitao Sakurai, and Andrew Barchilon about 'The Eric Andre Show', 311, Kombucha, and More!

by | July 9th, 2012

Every episode of The Eric Andre Show, which airs on Adult Swim on Sunday nights at 12:30, begins with Eric Andre frantically destroying his set and it doesn't really ever let up. The show is simply completely nuts: Bruce Vilanch plays Arnold Schwarzenegger, a roast duck fills in for Joe Biden, Eric goes to a strip club dressed as Thomas Jefferson, Eric puts himself in physical danger almost once a minute, also Sinbad was there once. It's just who Eric is. Beyond being funny, Eric's mind has a tendency to wildly wonder between subjects. In his show this translates to what might be the most hyper 15 minutes on [...]

May 20th = Hannibal Buress Day!

by | May 1st, 2012

Start eating your pickles so you have your jars of pickle juice ready for May 20th, Hannibal Buress Day! At 12:30am, on Adult Swim, Hannibal will debut in his role as the apathetic co-host to the "bipolar" Eric Andre on The Eric Andre Show and then less than 24-hours later his perfectly-titled hour special, “Hannibal Buress: Animal Furnace," is premiering on Comedy Central at 11:00pm. Considering that also this Sunday he will win the Best Club Comic award at the Comedy Awards, May seems likely to be a big month for HB. Let's kick a few pigeons in celebration.
