Khalifa, a proud and avid marijuana smoker, began the interview calm and relaxed while puffing away on camera as Andre pitched ideas where Andre might join Khalifa on stage during the rapper's festival appearances. Meanwhile, Andre made inane puns using his name, hammer fisted his own desk into oblivion, a poor George Clooney impersonator appeared and rolled around on the floor, and a naked PA is paraded onto the set for the expressed purpose of getting sucker punched in the gut. In an appearance which Vibe's Iyana Robertson described Khalifa as at times being left "all-out bewildered," the rapper was left stunned, at times to the point of putting his hands over his face to hide from the bedlam. The show features Andre finding new and creative ways to destroy his entire set, asking questions that are of little sense or import to the few actual celebrity guests he manages to book who aren't comically poor impersonators, and often ends up with said guests slack jawed and bewildered at the chaos that has tornadoed around them in such a short amount of time.Īndre's latest victim was rapper Wiz Khalifa. The Eric Andre Show is in its third season on Adult Swim, the network that brought us the beautifully bizarre Too Many Cooks viral satire a few short months ago. The problem is, it can't be done.Īndre's wild, frenetic, live-and-act-in-the-moment style does not allow for one to catch their bearings for very long as long as he is "on." That's why the only place where a late night talk show vehicle hosted by the wild man could not only exist, but also thrive, is on Adult Swim. “Wiz loves being on the road and has built this cult following through that.Eric Andre's brand of comedy often leaves the purest of absurdists scratching their heads trying to figure him out. “He puts a lot of care and attention into his live shows, and at this point he’s a seasoned veteran,” says Benjy Grinberg, Khalifa’s manager and president of Rostrum Records.

He found a new home at Atlantic early last year, and soon after declined an opening slot on Drake’s tour in order to stage his own 50-city Waken Baken trek, which resulted in sales of 90,000 tickets for 63 shows, according to booking agent Peter Schwartz.

Khalifa continued issuing mixtapes (“Burn After Rolling,” “Kush & OJ”) after being released from Warner Bros. “It’s the perfect time to drop the album and make a perfect impression on the people, so we can have a good year like everyone wants us to.” “I’ve done what I’ve done on the underground level, then crossing over to the mainstream and having a little bit of success there, and I’m still growing,” says the rapper, born Cameron Jibril Thomaz. The Stargate-produced single, which entered the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 in its 12th week in December, has catapulted the 23-year-old Pittsburgh rapper from mixtape-slinging marijuana enthusiast to the wunderkind behind one of spring’s most anticipated releases. Although “Black and Yellow” is technically a tribute to the Pittsburgh Steelers, hip-hop fans didn’t need any football allegiances to knock their heads to Wiz Khalifa’s colorful 2010 anthem.
