''The Eric Andre Show'' is an American comedy television series on Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, 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 seasons, respectively. A total of episodes have aired over the course of three seasons. On December 31, 2012, ''The Eric Andre Show'' did a 45-minute live New Year's special, titled ''The Eric Andre New Year's Eve Spooktacular''. In April 2015 André made a special surprise appearance on ''Conan'' to announce the show has been renewed for a fourth season. ==Development and production== 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'' has been renewed for another season, with a few of his former co-stars from the ABC show making appearances as guests. During season 1, the principal photography was done in an abandoned bodega in California. The painting of red rectangles in the set decoration also serves as the logo, emulated on the screen titling during shots with the band. The show is shot using old analog cameras, background music often from stock media, and low-budget titling effects to make it feel like a public-access show from the 1980s. All of the opening sequences for the show were filmed at the end of the shoot all at once over two and a half days. After being sick earlier in the week, André commented, "Fuck, it takes so much energy to break the set for that long." The desk André sits at is constructed of drywall to make it easier to break during skits. A Jazz Band plays on the set during the introduction and transitions. Shots of the band are mostly pre-recorded with a few spoken lines and callbacks during on-stage skits. For season 2, ''The Eric Andre Show'' changed to an HD Camera setup, a new set design and a new announcer. Because of the difficulties with gaining consent under California's regulations, some of the impromptu and hidden camera sketches had to be re-recorded in New York City. André also admitted to using tactics on real celebrities to make them visibly uncomfortable during the taping without informing them, stating that he would "put old, rotten clams under their seat before they come out, or heat ducts in their seats so they’re just sweltering." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Eric Andre Show」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
