Eric Andre gets real (and nobody gets pranked)

In this episode of The Drink, NBC News anchor Kate Snow sits down with the hilarious Eric Andre. The two met at the Hard Rock Hotel New York. Eric is about to release his own rum, so he chose to drink mojitos during the interview! Their non-stop conversation covered Eric’s childhood, why he switched from playing stand-up bass to doing stand-up comedy, and how he spent a decade scraping by in New York City, before breaking through with “The Eric Andre Show.” They talk about what Eric is up to now, including starring in a new Netflix movie with co-star John Cena, and releasing a classical music album. Plus: could "The Eric Andre Show" ever return? The Drink is Kate Snow’s interview series featuring candid conversations with actors, authors, athletes, and visionaries — all over a beverage of their choice.  Watch every episode of The Drink now at NBCNEWS.COM/THEDRINK.
