After a two-year hiatus, Billy Eichner has resurrected his man-on-the-street comedy game show Billy On The Street, re-teaming with Will Ferrell as ‘Loud White Men for Kamala’ in a get-out-the-vote and volunteer push for Harris and VP nominee Tim Walz.
The comedic duo took to the streets of NYC in a video that dropped today across Eichner’s social feeds. A note from Eichner’s publicist says the aim is to “do everything we possibly can to protect Americans from Donald Trump in these crucial final days of Early Voting and exactly one week before Election Day.”
In the video, Eichner and Ferrell are seen rushing up to various pedestrians, introducing themselves as “Loud White Men For Kamala”, with Eichner offering a dollar to answer the questions, “Would you have sex with a Trump voter?”, “Who are you voting for?” and also quizzing the strangers on their favorite Ferrell movies. You can view the video above.
Billy on the Street aired for five seasons beginning in 2011, the first three seasons on Fuse and the final two on TruTV, earning Eichner three Primetime Emmy nominations and a Webby award. Ferrell was guest on the show in 2012 and 2015, appearances which have garnered more than 100 million views across social media.
The episode of Billy on the Street was made in partnership with Vote Save America and Swing Left, among other contributors.
