Part game show, part comedy, Funny Or Die's Billy on the Street features Daytime Emmy(R) nominee, Billy Eichner, asking New Yorkers several different rounds of outrageous trivia questions, including a "subjective" final round where contestants must agree with Billy's opinions on music and pop culture in order to win. How far contestants advance in the game determines the amount of money and prizes they take home. Joining Eichner this season is a lineup of A-list celebrities including: Rachel Dratch, Lena Dunham, Neil Patrick Harris, Sean Hayes, Lindsay Lohan, Joel McHale, Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Paul Rudd, Olivia Wilde, and more.

Audiences and media go crazy for Funny Or Die's Billy on the Street with The Daily Beast dubbing Billy "comedy's next big thing." Entertainment Weekly included Billy on the Street on its weekly "Must List" (two years in a row) and USA Today proclaimed that it is "like no game show you've ever seen." Recently, Eichner has had a recurring role as Craig on the hit comedy series Parks and Recreation.
