50 free The Eric Andre Show trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
The Eric Andre Show spent six seasons on Adult Swim pulling the late-night talk show apart. Each eleven-minute episode opens with the host demolishing his own set, then lurches through a monologue that falls to pieces, interviews designed to rattle whoever is sitting in the chair, hidden-camera stunts on the street and a musical act with a catch. This quiz covers all of it: the low-budget pilot and how the series got made, co-host Hannibal Buress and his odd replacement, the guests who stormed off, the impersonators who filled in for real stars, the recurring characters and segments, and the injuries and arrests behind the camera. A handful of questions follow Eric André away from the desk, into his voice roles, sitcom parts, music and early life. It suits longtime fans who know the sketches by heart, newer viewers who found the show through memes and clips, and anyone hosting a comedy round. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you get the stories behind the mayhem too.
