Move over, Space Ghost: Adult Swim has announced production of "The Eric Andre Show," a late night talk show that will play with the conventions of a normal talk show, showcasing the talents of stand-up comedian Eric Andre. Fellow comic Hannibal Buress will be Andre's "apathetic co-host."

According to a press release from Cartoon Network, whose programming bloc Adult Swim has made hits of the unlikeliest of programs, the talk show will take place "on a dingy public-access TV channel within an alternate reality. The Eric Andre Show creates its own distorted pop culture universe by conducting interviews with an unpredictable mix of actual celebrities, 'fake' celebrities and extreme real-life weirdos."

The show will be produced by Abso Lutely Productions, known for making Adult Swim's "Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" Indeed, the description of "The Eric Andre Show" sounds quite a bit like a sketch from "Tim & Eric."

Andre may not be a household name, but he is slated to co-star on the sitcom "Don't Trust The B---- in Apartment 23" on ABC in April. He's also a popular presence in the world of stand-up, and has several TV appearances under his belt. Co-host Buress has written for "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock", and recently taped an hour special for Comedy Central. Additionally, Deadline reported in October that Buress is also working on a Fox sitcom with Jonah Hill.

Adult Swim has not announced a premiere for the show, aside that it will air in 2012.

I literally just posted a new thread for this and as soon as I navigated back to the front page of AST I saw that you beat me to it. Here's a teaser for the show: http://vimeo.com/18678740

Sounds like another terrible waste of resources that could go toward producing a good program.
Also, the "move over Space Ghost" really urked me.

This show is going to be bonkers. Everyone get on the E Train.*

*Eric is unaware that I have given him this nick name.

Mostly just excited to have Hannibal appear on something regularly. Hopefully it's good (since I'll probably be watching anyways).

I've had Eric Andre on my podcast a couple of times. The last time he was on he mentioned they were doing some LIVE test versions of the show out in L.A. I'm happy this is getting picked up! That preview clip on VIMEO is insane! I'm also happy to see Hannibal doing something regular again!

[Osquip]

I went to one of the live ones. It was really fun. Really glad this got picked up.

Premieres May 20th! 12:30am on Adult Swim. Not sure if that means early Sunday morning, or early Monday morning. Go Eric and Hannibal!!!

I am going to tell you a secret: I thought Moshe Kasher was Eric Andre. Shhhhhh.

Loved the first episode. Hannibal having to stand during the interviews brings me a lot of joy.

"It's OK?"

This was my absolute favorite thing.

I saw James Adomian's name in the "also starring" credits but didn't see him anywhere, did anyone actually spot him? Also the Onion AV Club review says Patrick Warburton played George Clooney (huh??!)

ok i was really skeptical 30 seconds into the show then 3 minutes in and i pee myself laughing.
