“The wait is finally over. We broke a lot of hearts, sets, and famous people’s publicists to bring you our most chaotic season so far. We’ve barely recovered,” Eric Andre explains in a statement regarding the return of his absurdist, satirical deconstruction of the talk show that airs on Adult Swim. The Eric Andre Show is now set to return for season 6 and has established a premiere date on Sunday, June 4, at Midnight ET/PT, according to Deadline.
In this new season, Andre will welcome guests that includes Natasha Lyonne, Jaleel White, Blac Chyna, Jon Hamm, Raven-Symoné, Diplo, Daymond John, Meagan Good, Rico Nasty, Waka Flocka Flame, Tinashe, Cypress Hill, and Lil Yachty among others. Felipe Esparza, Reese W, and Krft Punk will co-host.
The Eric Andre Show made its debut on Cartoon Network’s late-night block back in 2012. Per Adult Swim, the series takes place in a “dingy public-access TV channel within an alternate reality, featuring an unpredictable mix of actual celebrities, ‘fake’ celebrities, and extreme real-life weirdos.” Past guests have included such names as Dolph Lundgren, Reese Witherspoon, Judy Greer, Blake Griffin, Jack Black, and Seth Rogen. Casual audiences can search for clips and find that, no matter if it’s in context or out of context, there is no limit to the bizarre and random situations that can crop up on the show.
Prior to the season premiere, Eric Andre is set to host an evening of live comedy at this year’s SXSW Comedy Festival. During the event, Andre will be unveiling sneak peeks of episodes in the upcoming season. He will join co-host, Felipe Esparza, alongside DJ Douggpound, Dan Curry, and Sandy Honig on Sunday, March 12 at 4:00 p.m. CT.
The Eric Andre Show is produced by Abso Lutely Productions, which also produced Nathan For You, and is executive produced by Eric Andre, Kitao Sakurai, Mike Rosenstein, Dave Kneebone, and Dan Curry. Curry also serves as head writer. The sixth season is directed by Kitao Sakurai.
Andre can also be seen alongside Johnny Knoxville and Gabourey Sidibe in ABC’s comedy show The Prank Panel which aims for a release sometime this year.
