The controversy surrounding Eric Andre: Legalize Everything

Andre’s special was filmed long before the Black Lives Matter movement and the countrywide protests in America began. In an interview given to a media portal, Andre revealed that some middle-aged white officials at Netflix wanted to remove the Cops theme song joke from his special. The Cops TV show was a Paramount network show, which got cancelled in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Andre also informed that the officials wanted him to remove all the other jokes on policemen in general.

However, Andre refused to do so. He argued that this is one of the best times to be using humour to present the current situation. He added that humour makes it easier to point out the absurdity and hypocrisy of the police department. Eric Andre added that instead of shoving things under the rug, people need to talk openly about police brutality. He also confessed that he was blessed that his stand up is coming out in this time.
