Andre undergoes extreme physical transformations before each season of The Eric Andre Show. "For the show’s fifth season, Andre wanted to do the exact opposite of everything he did in season four," says Yohana Desta. "He redesigned the set to look like a purgatorial version of Las Vegas, then he got aggressively tan, bleached his teeth, doused himself in Brut cologne—'I wanted to reek in a different way'—got weekly manicures and pedicures, shaved his head, and got rid of the rest of his body hair, including his pubic hair." “It was excruciating pain, especially down the center,” he says. “It was rough. I don’t think I’d do it again.” He also gained 20 pounds, gorging on pizza and peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches. "I was kind of depressed ‘cause I was like, ugh, is this what I’m going to look like at 60? Horrendous…. I looked like Pitbull f*cked Kojak," he said with a laugh. "It was like, Surprise! You look like Vin Diesel after he dies.”
