The Lion King, but he's best known for his nightmarish, self-titled Adult Swim series. The Eric Andre Show is a surreal chat show where a sweaty, awkward Andre chats with bemused guests while co-host Hannibal Buress delivers deadpan snark from the sidelines.
Seth Rogen, John Cena, Ryan Phillippe and Krysten Ritter to appear. Guests reportedly have no idea what's going to happen when they appear - which is very evident with some, such as the infamous Lauren Conrad interview.
The Adult Swim Eric Andre Show took a four-year break following season 4, with season 5 finally arriving in 2020. Fans were somewhat shocked to see the second episode of the season where Hannibal Buress, following a typically chaotic interview with rapper guest Saweetie, casually announces he's quitting and walks off the show. Not missing a beat, Eric takes one of Hannibal's discarded nose hairs and uses it to create a monstrous clone dubbed Blannibal to replace him as co-host.
Eric Andre had actually announced Buress' exit before his abrupt departure and opened about him leaving in a The Eric Andre Show season 5, Buress didn't want to do it at all, and had seemingly grown tired of the format. Andre itted he was devastated to lose his comedy partner, but at least managed to convince him to return for a couple of episodes to give him a proper exit. His Blannibal clone is played by musician James Hazley who had little acting experience before ing The Eric Andre Show, with the host finding him on Craigslist.
Hannibal Buress himself has largely declined to give a specific reason for his The Eric Andre Show season 5 exit. Having become more famous throughout its run thanks to appearances in his own comedy specials and the likes of Spider-Man: Homecoming, maybe he was just ready to move on creatively. There seems to be no bad blood between him and Andre over his departure, and the show's so surreal it wouldn't be a major shock if he just returned for season 6 as a permanent co-host.
