Why is the Eric Andre Show so weird?
What do you want me to be? Two and a Half Men?
I'm on Adult Swim for crying out.

Never was on SNL.
Was Eric Andre the Geico caveman?
Sorta. I wasn't the like famous ones.
I would go to like live sporting events
when I was 24 years old I booked some
gig as the Geico caveman.
I was basically a mascot. A high-end corporate mascot.
They would put me in the caveman makeup.
And I would like go to Lollapalooza.
I went to the Super Bowl and I would just go
around and do photo ops with people.
It was like a sick gig for a 24 year old me
because it paid decently enough
for my broke ass.
They kind of fired me.
They had a weird, like, it was like time
for me to negotiate my next year's fee or whatever.
And they never complained to my face once.
And then out of nowhere, they sent me this long email
to my manager about like every single evil I did.
And it was such like a petty.
"Eric told a guy while he was
in the Geico makeup that he was Santa Claus."
So all the people that were
like pretending they were buddies with me that worked
for Geico were secretly like snitching on me.
It was a really like evil.
Eric did this and this.
I was like: "you guys are [bleep] toxic."
Who has Eric Andre dated?
Who haven't I dated? Right?
A hole's a hole.
Who does
Eric Andre [bleep]?

Uh
and my girlfriend is 10 feet away from me.
And it's kind of awkward that you just said that.

She's looking at me now.
She's giving me the clock is ticking sign.
She's pointing to her fallopian tubes and her watch.
Uh... You guys made it tense.

Call me exactly at 4:20AM
and put on some 311.

I can't read.
How did Eric Andre contract dyslexia
through the back half of the segment?
How did Eric Andre get his start?
Me and Hannibal did very primitive version of the
Eric Andre Show at like a abandoned bodega in New York.
And then we went around New York and did some street pranks.
And I put that together and I sent it to Adult Swim
and they actually ordered a season of it.
How does Eric Andre Show get guests?
It's very hard and it gets harder and harder.
And we just tell their handlers, the bare minimum
and hope that they're over the age
of 30 and they have no idea who I am.
They're all pretty good.
I don't know. Stacey Dash was great.
I was thinking about her interview yesterday.
Cause we like sent a bunch of subway, sewer rats out
under her chair and they like went up to her feet
and started licking her feet and she's a new Yorker.
So she does not like rats.
Thanks for the questions.
I hope I answered them
and uh
you'll never get this two minutes of your life back.
