The Eric Andre Show is a thing. I’m not sure what sort of thing it is, but it’s the sort of thing that is hard to take your off off of. It’s billed as a late night talk show on Adult Swim, but it eschews everything that is traditional late night. I’m pretty sure that’s the point as it seems like some hyper deconstruction of the format. Or it could just be some crazy guy being weird on TV because he. To be fair, either way works for me.
The show is known for pushing boundaries, and Andre himself has said that he assumes many a publicist has been fired after their client going on the show. What’s interesting is that since the show is so under the radar, but still technically on a major network, many celebrities stop by with many not really knowing what it’s all about.
On the latest episode Andre and his Ed McMahon sidekick Hannibal Buress took things up another notch when Flavor Flav visited. Aside from the normal craziness that comes with the show (Andre getting naked and jumping into a bathtub) Buress decided to up the action. And by upping the action I mean that he kicked Flavor Flav right in the face. It comes out of nowhere and was a pretty crazy thing to see.
