Comedian Eric Andre, host of the sketch-comedy program “The Eric Andre Show” on Adult Swim, shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories about some of his infamous pranks and celebrity victims, including Jon Hamm, Dennis Rodman, Vivica A. Fox, and Chris Jericho! He explains what inspired the show, how they’re still able to get the reactions they do 11 years later, and what goes into prepping the episodes and seasons. He talks about his early days doing open mics and stand-up in Boston, how and when he pitched the original idea for his prank show, and how he and collaborator Dan Curry put together their new book, “Dumb Ideas,” which has some great tips and tricks for pulling pranks at home. Plus, Eric talks about his movie “Bad Trip,” his character in HBO’s “The Righteous Gemstones,” and love of wrestling, and the impact it’s had on his own creative genius and career.
