Eric Andre Continues Pushing Buttons in His Netflix Standup Debut

The star of The Eric Andre Show on Adult Swim makes his long-form standup debut on Netflix today, a special that features at least one joke about police brutality that apparently cut a little too close to the bone for some execs at the streaming giant.
