Eric André says Chet Hanks acted ‘dangerously’ on a talk show

Eric André claimed he and his show crew were “broken down” by guest star Chet Hanks.

The 39-year-old comic book host The Eric Andre Show, an absurd sketch program that parodies late-night talk shows. The Adult Swim series features celebrity and celebrity impersonator cameos interspersed with chaotic man-in-the-street-like segments.

Speak with Rolling Stone about the series’ upcoming sixth season – which debuts on June 4 – and the celebrity guests that fans can expect, André reminisced about the day he met Hanks, the son of Hollywood icons Tom and Rita Hanks brought board.

“He broke our crew,” the comedian recalled of Hanks, calling him a “tough cookie.”

Andre said Hanks rode around on a motorcycle and almost “knocked a bunch of handles and gaffers off their ladders. It was very dangerous.”

“He tried to prank us but we worked it out [it out].”

The Independent reached out to Hanks’ rep for comment.

In addition to 32-year-old Hanks, Tom and Rita also share Colin, 45, Elizabeth, 40, and Truman, 27.

Hanks struggled with substance abuse in the past, went to rehab multiple times, and eventually sobered up in 2018.

During a November 2022 interview, he revealed that amid his battle with substance abuse, his parents had sent him to a wilderness program for “troubled teens.”

Hanks drew criticism for a series of outlandish statements in 2021, including saying the world would experience a “white boy summer” this year.
