André began his comedy career in 2003.[11] He is the creator and host of The Eric Andre Show, a parody of public access talk shows, on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim.[12] The show features pranks, shock humor, sketches, and celebrity interviews. He co-starred as Mark on the ABC comedy series Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, and guest-starred on 2 Broke Girls as Deke, Max's love interest and fellow pastry student.[13] He played Mike in the FXX comedy series Man Seeking Woman, which premiered in 2015.[14] The show's third and final season, consisting of ten episodes, ran in early 2017.[15][16] He voices Luci in the Netflix animated show Disenchantment.[17] In May 2020, André announced his first standup special on Netflix, Legalize Everything, which was released on June 23, 2020.[18] In 2021, André starred in the Netflix prank comedy film Bad Trip.

Personal life[]

André dated actress Rosario Dawson from 2016 to 2017.[19] In March 2021, André revealed he was in a relationship with a woman that he met at a farmer's market and that she did not know he was famous until after they started dating.[20]

André is an agnostic atheist[21] and a practitioner of Transcendental Meditation.[22] He endorsed Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders in the 2020 presidential election.[23]

In a 2016 interview, André said: "I think everyone is bi, right? There's no such thing as sexual orientation, or race, or gender. Those are all obsolete man-made concepts. I'll say it again, a hole is a hole." When asked if he was coming out as bisexual, he continued: "I'll fuck anything that moves."[24]
