There's an interview with Eric Andre on The AV Club and he mentions that in the first season of The Eric Andre Show he was actually arrested during one of his man on the street bits.

I'm surprised this is a property anyone gives a poo poo about after that movie with Jim Carrey from last decade.
When I read them I got like 6 or 7 books in before I just got too bored of the sameyness of them all to read any more.

You stopped just before they smash the formula and start focusing on the overarching plot and mystery of the series.

That said the final book's payoff is pretty disappointing so if you weren't liking them already you probably made the right choice.

I still loved them and I hope the Netflix series is good.

The Eric Andrew show is incredible. It's a fever dream of a daytime talkshow where he intentionally makes his guests uncomfortable and fucks with them by doing things like hiding old seafood under their seats, having the heat turned up, and pulling pranks on them in the middle of interviews.

Not to turn this into book chat, but I remember as a teenager (admittedly older than the target audience, but my taste in media is very juvenile to this day) being very underwhelmed by the ending, but then I realized that was the point: even if there actually is (Book 13 spoilers) some fantastical conspiracy theory that explains why you've suffered the hardships and trauma and everything that's happened in your life, there's no point in really knowing because the best thing you can do is come to terms and make the best of it. Knowing why something bad happened to you isn't what matters, it's what you learned and how it strengthened you and made you who you are that matters. That's a loving fantastic lesson for a children's book to tell, and I wish that Tumblr trigger-warning encouragers, christ, all millennials period, had read the books and understood them. It would make the internet a far more reasonable place.

I'm super excited about the Netflix series. I didn't think the movie was terrible, quite the opposite, really, I think they did as good of a job as they could, though they did shoot themselves in the foot by making one movie cover the events of three books. The series really does require a miniseries format, and I have very high hopes that Netflix will pull it off. If they can get Jim Carrey back as Count Olaf, I'll stay up until it hits their servers and watch it until I pass out.

It's true, and I didn't hate the ending even if I did wish that I could've had all the answers. But what really depressed me is that the very last book in the series is the Beatrice Letters, and the very final secret message and thus the last words I read at the time were Beatrice Sank. :(

Though he's currently got his spinoff series going about Lemony Snicket as a child which are decent and are shedding at least a small bit of light on one of the lingering mysteries.

I personally like this interview with Brandi Glanville. Quick, dirty, yet oh-so-effective.

And lest we forget, Andre doesn't always have all the fun. I'd REALLY like to know the story behind how this interview with Lance Reddick came together.

It sure is. Bob Newhart is in 2 episodes, and Noah Wyle is in 4.

Two of the main cast members appear to be John Larroquette and Rebecca Romijn.

When I heard that The Librarian was a thing I got unreasonably excited to sit down and watch a TNT movie that stars Noah Wyle, though to be fair Pirates Of Silicon Valley set a precedent for that to be a winning combination.

Actually now that I think about it all that Noah Wyle's done for, like, the past 20 years has been either indie movies or projects for TNT. Did he sign a "talent" contract with them?

[Edit: Wait, holy poo poo, the TV show has a very watchable cast. I can't believe I'm about to be burned twice by the Librarian franchise.]
