Over the summer, when the crap was hitting the fan for Ellen Degeneres, fans petitioned for Eric Andre to get her job. When the comedian sat down with Vanity Fair, they wanted to know what he thought about that.
“We have a psychopath in the White House and we’re in the longest war of all time. It seems like small potatoes compared to the world crumbling into these right-wing authoritarian dictatorships and these industrialized nations,” he says. “Boohoo, Ellen was mean. Who gives a sh!t? I never thought she was nice! She seems like she’d be like, ‘Fucking get me a coffee! Now!’”
“Is that what cancel culture’s devolved to? ‘That guy’s not nice!’ James Corden is f*cked if that’s the only criteria to get called out,” Andre continues, laughing mordantly. “James Corden and Lorne Michaels are screwed! They’re trembling in their fucking boots.”
Back when people were coming forward about Degeneres being mean, I read that others were saying the same about Corden. They said that he was also could be cruel to the staff. After I read that, I could, kind of, see it. Now, I totally see it. The same way I saw it with Ellen, but I had already known that about her.
I could not find any videos of Andre being on The Late Late Show, so I used one with Conan O’Brien instead. When it comes to Conan, I have only heard good things about him from the people who work with him and many others.
When it comes to Andre, I am not a fan of his. To me, he comes off as a huge d!ck. Thus, if he says someone is mean, then imagine how mean they are…
