The Eric Andre Show is an American comedy television series on Adult Swim. The show premiered in the United States on May 20, 2012, and is a parody of low-budget public-access talk shows. The series is hosted by comedian Eric André along with comedian Hannibal Buress, who serves as André's sidekick.Gary Anthony Williams served as the announcer in the first season, being replaced by Tom Kane and Robert Smith in the second, and third through fourth seasons, respectively.
A total of 40 episodes have aired over the course of four seasons. On December 31, 2012, The Eric Andre Show aired a 45-minute live New Year's special, titled The Eric Andre New Year's Eve Spooktacular. On April 13, 2015, André made a surprise appearance on Conan to announce the show was renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on August 5, 2016.
In a 2012 interview, Eric André mentioned being a big fan of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, a series that has previously aired on Cartoon Network and later Adult Swim, which was a major influence on him while developing the series. Before shooting André would re-watch several episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast in a row in order to "absorb as much Space Ghost" as he could. André would also ask executive producer and Adult Swim president Mike Lazzo several questions about the series, as he was an executive during its production run. To André's surprise Lazzo had no interest in Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
André, who was also known for his role as Mark Reynolds on the ABC sitcom Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 when the series launched, was warned by ABC network executives not to mention the series on The Eric Andre Show, as they did not want to create an association between the two shows. According to André several cast and crew members on Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 were not even aware of the existence of Adult Swim when explaining to them The Eric Andre Show.Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 was later cancelled in January 2013. In April 2013, it was announced that The Eric Andre Show had been renewed for another season, with a few of his former co-stars from the ABC show making appearances as guests.
