The new season arrives at a time when Andre’s career continues to ascend. In 2021, his long-gestating prank film Bad Trip was released on Netflix. Initially set to premiere at the 2020 SXSW Film Festival, COVID led to the cancellation of both the premiere and theatrical release. Ultimately, it may have played into the film’s favor as Bad Trip did become a global hit for Netflix and quickly reached the top of their charts upon release.
Back on the small screen, the caliber of guests that the producers of The Eric Andre Show continue to somehow rope into appearances only gets more impressive as the seasons go on. This time around, celebs like Natasha Lyonne, Jon Hamm (much more on that below), Raven-Symoné, Diplo, Daymond John, Meagan Good, Cypress Hill, and Lil Yachty are tormented like never before on Adult Swim’s fever dream of a talk show.
In honor of what is undoubtedly his sexiest season yet, Andre graciously let us shower him in rose petals before we sat down to discuss more than a decade of man-on-the-street pranks, gross-out moments, and the evolution of the show’s physical comedy.
Den of Geek: The question on everybody’s mind right now is, how did you do it? How did you get swole, jacked, goosed for season six?
Eric Andre: Oh, it’s just food and exercise. It’s nothing crazy. I was looking into doing steroids. But I’m scared of cancer. So I just ate a ton of meat. I constantly snacked on meat.
Did you go the Kumail Nanjiani route and spring for Marvel Cinematic Universe trainers?
