A new season of Billy on the Street starts November 15th, featuring guests Jon Hamm, John Oliver, Seth Rogen, Keegan Michael Key, Andy Samberg, Lupita Nyong’o, Aziz Ansari and Jacob Tremblay. Here’s a sneak peek.
Comic Billy Eichner transitions his man-on-the-street-style interviews that first became popular via the Funny or Die website to TV, roaming the sidewalks of New York and asking pedestrians outrageous pop-culture trivia questions. A correct answer could win the passersby money, even if it’s just $1. The real payoff for viewers comes in watching Eichner’s frenzied irreverence — an act he honed as a member of the comedy troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade — clash with hardened New Yorkers, many of whom gleefully play along.
