Robin Quivers -- Eric the Actor Finally Got What He Wanted

Robin Quivers is astonished by Hollywood's love fest for Eric the Actor after his death -- but says nothing would've made him happier.

Tons of celebs ... including Jimmy Kimmel, Jonah Hill, Zach Braff, and Natalie Maines ... have toasted the "Howard Stern Show" wack packer since he died Sunday.

This morning in NYC, Robin told us the outpouring is pretty ironic ... considering how much Eric longed for ANY connection to celebrities.

Robin herself shows some love for Eric in this clip -- but she's also brutally honest about his "acting" skills.
