Billy on the Street

Billy on the Street with Billy Eichner is an American comedy game show hosted by comedian and actor Billy Eichner. During each episode, Eichner goes out to the streets of New York City and asks pedestrians questions about pop culture. Episodes often include guest stars, usually fellow actors or comedians. Recurring games include "For a Dollar" and "Quizzed in the Face." Eichner is also the executive producer and creator of the series.

The series premiered December 18, 2011 on Fuse and aired for three seasons. The fourth season, which premiered on October 8, 2015, and the fifth season, which premiered on November 15, 2016, aired on truTV.[1] It was announced on September 21, 2017, that the show was leaving truTV and was actively searching for a new network.[2] As of April 2021, repeats of the second through fifth seasons are available through Max in the United States and all seasons are available through the truTV app and website in the United States.

The show returned as short-form web episodes distributed by Funny or Die through various digital distribution platforms in September 2018 with Lyft as the presenting sponsor.[3] A few promotional episodes were made in 2022 for Eichner's movie Bros, without Lyft sponsoring.
