The script is kind of just like a guideline. Is there a really tight script or do you guys make a lot of changes on the fly?Ĭonstantly changing and constantly improvising. And then, the writers, it’s more like a brainstorming creative consultant. I write year-round, and Dan and I do the script together. My writing partner, Dan Curry, and I write the most. And you know, directors are in the writers’ room, Andrew and Kitao. I think she just won a Emmy or something.

We had Tommy Blacha, DJ Douggpound (Doug Lussenhop). Just comedians I know, and whoever’s available. Who’s in your writerss room? How do you go about selecting people? And then, we have a writers’ room for like three weeks. How much of the show do you guys write before going into production? We try to write more stupid stuff, not overthink it. Also, the dumbest bits are usually the funniest. We just figured out different ways to psychologically torture the guests. We put old clams under the guest’s chair to make it smell really bad. We had a Chinese water torture device up above the guest’s chair to squirt water down on them, drop by drop, during the interview. We electrocuted some of the guests this time. It’s fun seeing guests out of their comfort zones, so we put more uncomfortable bits for the guests and stuff like that in there. Just how to get the most out of what we like. Just what bits tend to work and what bits tend to not work. What are some things that you learned from last year? I recently had the chance to talk to Eric Andre about his show’s second season (which begins tonight), why he set off fireworks on The Jeselnik Offensive, and the stunt Adult Swim’s lawyers won’t let him do. There’s nothing quite like The Eric Andre Show anywhere else on TV, and it’s a perfect example of a comedian getting to express his weird, weird voice without any creative interference from the network. Created and hosted by comedian Eric Andre, it’s a big, fun mess of a talk show that involves Andre and co-host Hannibal Buress tormenting their guests and bringing out weird stuff just to baffle them, with Andre’s daring hidden camera segments mixed in.

Adult Swim has a lot of strange shows, but none more unpredictable and anarchic than The Eric Andre Show.
