According to a well-informed source, the creator of The Eric Andre Show Eric Andre is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the actor's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 02/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Andre for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 41-year-old actor, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Andre so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actor have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Boca Raton Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Boca Raton (Eric Andre's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the actor was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#AndrePOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Eric has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 1 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Eric Andre?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 1 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Eric Andre?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
