One of comedy’s most unpredictable and fearless voices takes center stage as comedian, actor, and creator Eric André joins Deadline’s Comedy Means Business for an insightful and hilarious conversation now streaming on YouTube.
Known for redefining the boundaries of alternative comedy through his uniquely anarchic style, André sits down with host Matt Grobar to discuss the making of his latest Netflix comedy, Little Brother, a project he enthusiastically describes as “What About Bob? meets Parasite.” The conversation offers fans a rare look behind the curtain at the creative process behind the film, as well as the discipline and intentionality that fuels André’s signature brand of controlled chaos.
Far beyond the outrageous stunts and viral moments that have become synonymous with his name, André reveals the work ethic, artistic influences, and creative philosophy that have shaped his remarkable career. From stories about performing in mob-run comedy clubs to embracing a punk rock mentality in entertainment, the interview highlights the experiences that helped forge one of comedy’s most distinctive voices.
Throughout the discussion, André reflects on his admiration for legendary action star Jackie Chan, explores the inspiration behind his experimental music project Film Scores for Films That Don’t Exist, and shares his thoughts on the ever-changing landscape of late-night television. Fans will also hear the unforgettable story of being accidentally concussed by Little Brother co-star John Cena during production.
Blending candid storytelling, sharp industry insight, and André’s trademark unpredictability, this episode of Comedy Means Business delivers an entertaining deep dive into the mind of a performer who continues to challenge conventions across film, television, music, and stand-up comedy.
The full interview featuring Eric André is now available to stream on YouTube through Deadline’s Comedy Means Business series.
