Minute-to-minute, so much happens onThe Eric Andre Showthat the constant barrage of stimuli tends to blur together.
How did she end up onthisshow?
Did she know what she was getting herself into?
Bit parts like this are a common feature ofThe Eric Andre Show.
They liked it, and then they called me back to do the shoot.
Ive been in SAG for 24 years, but thats one of my favorite shows Ive worked on.
One time, they sent me tothe red carpet of an award show.
I thinkThe Eric Andre Showplayed a trick.
But it was fun, because I was asking people some ridiculous things.
I pulled a dead pigeon out of my pocket.
I said to one of them that I was a little nervous and got the hiccups.
My favorite part is the tours we did.
But my sons said, No, theyre talking about you!
Then when we went, it was actually me!
I couldnt believe it.
But I have heard the real Russell Brand is also a fan of the show.
Then when I got there, Eric was like, Oh, you’re free to actually improv!
But when people meet Eric, they have to be ready.
Eric didnt bathe or wash his suit that whole season, so he literally smelled like poop.
Are you ever fully ready for the craziness?
Youll be like, So, what the fuck are we doing?
and the producer will look at you and be like, We have no idea.
There are no redos whatever you go out and do, thats it.
Real people dont try their real reactions are funny.
Then I looked myself up, and theresa whole page dedicated to Hannibals brother.
People have stopped me on the street to tell me Im Hannibals brother.
Adult Swim did a festival, and Eric brought me out as one of the fan favorites.
I just started screaming and acting crazy and saying n- - - - a lot.
The crowd was going crazy.
I remember looking at that and thinking,I wouldnt do that.
When I perform, I sweat like a pig.
I didnt even have a joke!
They were like, George Clooney is sweating like crazy!
I left, and I was like,I bombed!
That was our biggest episode ever.
So theyve had me on a bunch of times.
I chugged that down, and someone drove me home.
Then the third time after that, it was a coffee-wine challenge where they mixed the two.
I thought I did pretty good.
I got through the episode and I drove myself home.
But then the war in my stomach started.
I was out on my lawn puking.
The craziest had to be season five.
Eric finally said, Okay, are you ready to do some nudity?
So season five was the chili.
The crazy world of Eric Andre, man.
Im really blessed to be a part of it.
This was back when we were doing comedy together in 2010.
Automatically, I was like, Im not getting in no dress.
But he was like, No, you need tobe Reese Witherspoon as you!
A lot of people were in that original pilot: Hannibal, Kevin Barnett, Jermaine Fowler.
Eric is the only person who still has that original pilot.
Everything was completely improvised.
I never knew I would say the wordsMy pussy dangerous.That was all off the cuff.
Keep in mind, we were filming in a torn-out warehouse in Brooklyn.
This season, when theycalled me back to be the co-host, it was totally professional.
They flew me upside down, and that didnt even appear in the season!
Let me put it like this: Ive seen the man biblically too many fucking times.
I remember when he did theJohn Cena joint, he had a real concussion.
Shes a total professional.
I didnt audition for it.
It was all thanks to a last-minute no-show.
I had absolutely no idea what I was walking into.
I was like, Whatisthis?
The band is a hodgepodge.
I definitely took some private jazz piano lessons just to double-check I had my core.
But the rest of the band were amazing, so I think they carried the majority of the weight.
The show was so wacky, so theres no one specific memory that stands out.
But I remember there wasa really fun sequencewhere the guitarist in the band was shot.
I dont watch this kind of thing normally.
My brother-in-law founda Reddit threadabout me and told me about it, and I could not believe it.
I could not believe that my little role on that show made such a big impact on some people.
All interviews were conducted prior to the SAG strike.
