6 minutes of Billy Eichner parading and screaming around NYC with the legendary Mariah Carey for a brand new episode of the celebrated series Billy on the Street is something we weren’t even aware that we were going to get this week, but it’s a beautiful present from Eichner and Mariah that we can (and should) revel in.
Unwrap, enjoy, and watch it here.
Billy on the Street Is Now Headed to Netflix
This means that Billy on the Street will have gone, in the course of its life, over almost a decade, from Fuse to TruTV to Funny or Die to Lyft to Netflix. If that’s not a record for a show (that hasn’t hit syndication) moving to the most different places, then it might be close. Also, this snatching up of Billy on the Street by Netflix is just another sign of streaming services building their content army for the streaming wars.
Let’s hope this leads to more Billy on the Street.
If you’ve been missing Billy Eichner darting around NYC to get in the face of strangers, you’re in luck as there is a fresh, brand new episode where Billy is tasked with getting people hyped for the return of The Jonas Brothers.
Of course, that means plenty of yelling from Billy. Please enjoy it here.

Your favorite ambush quizmaster will indeed be back very soon. Somehow, even though Billy has been doing this for several years, people in the streets of NYC will still be taken surprise.
For years now, Billy Eichner has not only run up to strangers to aggressively ask them about pop culture trivia, but he has also given out some of the most bizarre prizes in the history of game shows including a poster for LEGO Manchester by the Sea and marionettes of the cast of Transparent.
The Billy on the Street prop department must have a lot of fun making these fever dreams that Eichner and co. come up with.
See some of the best ones in this montage.
Eichner’s latest and greatest obstacle course, Super Sloppy, Semi-Automatic Double Dare!, along with guest/contestant Keegan Michael-Key, shows how easy it is around America to buy a gun.
Really, this recent satirical, politically focused evolution of Billy on the Street is pretty fantastic. We look forward to seeing where Billy takes his show throughout the Trump Administration.
This actually sends up media coverage and the rise of A-listers more than it does Margot Robbie specifically. The mix of satire is pure silliness is as done exquisitely as to be expected with Billy on the Street.
Either way, it’s another ridiculous and ultra-clever Billy on the Street obstacle course with Rachel Dratch trying to make her way through, kind of terrified, with Billy Eichner yelling the whole way through.
Watch and enjoy it here (and take note of the more subversive edge that Eichner and company have taken this season).
Billy Eichner cleverly proves yet an important point through his on-the-street, pop culture trivia game show about who are some of the best people in our country.
See if you catch what it is here (Note: it should be pretty obvious).
Billy Eichner is returning to television later this evening everyone.
10:30PM tonight, Billy Eichner returns, mic in hand, running around NYC to quiz people in the face and more for the season 5 premiere of Billy on the Street.
It’s going to be a hell of a season as you can see in this promo.
EVERY EPISODE OF BILLY ON THE STREET IS ON @hulu STARTING TODAY! 4 SEASONS, FULL HALF HOUR EPISODES! RT if ur a fan!!! #BillyontheStream
There are no awards shows or playoffs or certain games with certain thrones to keep you from watching this.
So, get to binging Billy Eichner screaming and quizzing people on the street on Hulu as soon as you can.
Yes, that includes all episodes of all past four seasons.
Billy Eichner’s manic style of hosting his show Billy on the Street is undeniably infectious and lends very well to binge watching. Before his TV show, Eichner went viral with his videos, so it’s only natural that the archive of Billy on the Street, the TV series, would find its way online.
Starting Sunday, July 10th, all past four seasons of Billy on the Street will be available to stream exclusively on Hulu. Season five will also stream as soon as the season finishes airing on TruTV.
Prepare to see as much of Billy screaming and running as you can handle.
TruTV is smartly putting their money on some of the strongest shows in their programming line-up.
Though moving around a few places over the years, Billy on the Street proved that it’ll hold up at TruTV and is getting a fifth season with ten episodes of Billy Eichner screaming pop culture trivia and running in the streets.
Even more impressive is freshman series Adam Ruins Everything with Adam Conover getting 14 more episodes on the back end of their first season.
In addition to all of that, Emily Axford, who is frequently featured on Adam Ruins Everything, is going to host a pilot currently called No Dumb Questions that will see if people know the answers to questions that most would consider obvious, possibly even dumb.
At 10:30PM tonight on TruTV, Billy Eichner has his final run through NYC for this season of Billy on the Street. Included will be his favorite begrudging guest Elena going against her sister and Julianna Margulies appearing as Sia.
If you’re staying home this New Year’s Eve, it wouldn’t be a bad move to watch Billy yell at people over trivia going into 2016.
Two of the best screamers in comedy, Billy Eichner and Will Ferrell combine their powers together to remind New Yorkers that either Scrooged or Elf is a better movie on Billy on The Street.
For Billy on the Street’s latest trick, they show the long, terrifying road to exiting the Church of Scientology. Rather done in some sobering documentary by Alex Gibney, Billy Eichner made an obstacle course with the theme specific to Leah Remini’s recent escape from Scientology and enlisted Rachel Dratch to make a run through it.
It’s just another brilliant day at the offices of Billy on the Street. Watch Scientology look more fun than it’s ever seemed here.
