At SXSW yesterday, Eric Andre shared a preview of his upcoming season of “The Eric Andre Show,” as Pigeons and Planes pointed out. He premiered a sketch called “Rapper Warrior Ninja,” a hip-hop parody version of “Ninja Warrior,” the show where people attempt to complete a strenuous obstacle course.
