It's Billy on the Street here, with my friend Chrissy Ferraro who helps Big Bird with his words! We had a new video come out today, with the First Lady. It's on Funny Or Die and we're here to answer questions about it.

Billy, how did you end up on Parks and Recreation? Craig is absolutely one of my favorite characters on the show.

I had a mtg with Mike Schur and Dan Goor who created the show and they were fans and asked me to do it!

What did Elena REALLY MEAN when she said you could eat lots of other stuff too?!
andrewtabs17 karma
How come you keep bringing back Elena, who is amazing, but not Mr. Singh, who was also potentially equally amazing?

Did FLOTUS require any rehearsal/run-through? She seemed super natural in her responses so I imagine it was all first-take stuff, but with the need to control image, I wonder...
Also, Big Bird was killin' in on Facts of Life.
BillyontheStreet29 karma
We never rehearse anything on Billy on the Street and we didn't rehearse with FLOTUS! She had no idea what I was going to ask her! She was awesome.

- Do another another Billy on the Street with Amy Poehler. That's not a question.
- What's your very best life advice?

Billy what effect do you feel your handing out of dollars willy-nilly is having on the economy?

Hello, Mr. Eichner. I admire your work! Which was your favorite moment from Billy on the Street? I always loved you playing in the rain with Seth Meyers or Elena saying, "Whertle." Additionally, when will the blue t-shirt be on display in the Smithsonian?
googly00058 karma
Hey Billy! I think you're very very funny! Thank you for being very funny. What are your opinions on Natalie Portman? Why does she not seem relevant right now? Do you wish she was relevant?
Twils2157 karma
Hi Billy. Big fan! You're YouTube videos are addicting. My favorite moment is your guest appearance on Letterman when you got him all jazzed up during a round of questions.
So you're show is set in NYC, but have you ever considered going to other cities such as Philadelphia?
clothesguy187 karma
Billy can you call my professor and scream at him? Also why can't i find your tv show anywhere on the internet?
LKool987 karma
Now that you've been in a grocery store with Michelle Obama, when will you be doing an episode with Joe Biden on a TRAIN?
Illyriana7 karma
Elena is hilarious. Her comedic timing is perfect? Where did you find her?
BillyontheStreet9 karma
I just ran into her on the street one day while filming Billy On the Street and she was on the show!
HerpDerp726 karma
Billy! Totally love you! What does amy poehler or nick offerman smell like??
floodskaroony6 karma
Hi Billy, Thanks for doing this AMA. Can you yell at me over the internet? Please?
TandytheBear6 karma
You and Nick Offerman should do a Billy on the Street about meats. I guarantee at least one person would watch it. Do you accept the challenge?
mtthwas6 karma
Billy, why aren't you as mad at Murray Monster for blatantly ripping off "Billy on the Street" with his entire "What's the Word on the Street" segment on Sesame Street as you were with Burger King ripping off your show for a commercial?
ThatOneGuyInTX6 karma
Hey Billy big fan! You are definitely my favorite person on social media.
My question is, how soon can we expect a Billy and Elena sex tape? And also is Elena the heir to your show?
Also very excited for your new show!
FailedNerdyReference6 karma
Billy: what am I supposed to do with my life now that I know you know so many lyrics to 'I don't want to miss a thing'?
jakamalak5 karma
Hi Billy! Thanks for doing this AMA! Love Billy on the Street and loved your Emmy's segment with Seth Meyers. You always have me laughing with all you do, especially as Craig on Parks and Rec.
My question: if you could've been any other character (besides Craig) for an episode of Parks & Rec, who would it be and why??
anastasiaromanov5 karma
Billy, IS TWITTER A FORCE?
And can you tell us a little about your experience working on A NEW BRAIN during your time at Northwestern?
Jao-4 karma
Billy, I think you're hilarious and only discovered you through your YouTube channel, how else do I find you?
BillyontheStreet8 karma
WELL...the Billy On the Street TV show will have its 4th season on Tru TV and TBS later this year! We've had 3 seasons on the Fuse network which are available on Amazon and now we're moving to Tru!
jakamalak4 karma
Billy, So awesome that you had a segment with First Lady Michelle Obama! Who are the top 3 people you would love to have on the show that you haven't had on yet?
Thanks for doing the AMA!!
BillyontheStreet12 karma
Well hard to say top 3 but 3 I would love are Meryl, Tilda and Mariah.
BillyontheStreet9 karma
we're filming in it NY right now - premieres on Hulu later this year!
daftfunk963 karma
Billy, you're stranded on an island with a celebrity of your choice, who do you pick and why?
merlinspants3 karma
Have you ever been physically assaulted by a surprised New Yorker that you yelled at?
BillyontheStreet13 karma
an old woman slapped me across the face in my youtube days but thats it
stephenbawesome3 karma
Have you considered taking BOTS to a different street in a different city?
beckyschmegs3 karma
Billy! Such a huge freakin' fan. Has there been a "For a Dollar" contestant whose response just made you crack up?
BillyontheStreet9 karma
Oh yes many...the woman who thought Denzel Washington was the Phatom of the Opera killed me
queeniebean1 karma
Billy - if you could be a character on Sesame Street, who would you be?
BillyontheStreet3 karma
That's a tough one...She's not on Sesame St but I would like to meet Miss Piggy

Hi Billy!
My wife and I are huge fans of Ratatouille, so of course we loved your rant about it with Patton. We also looked everywhere for references to that at Disneyland the one time we've been, and only found a diorama on Main Street dedicated to it. Lame! HOWEVER did you know about the ride at Disneyland Paris? Maybe pull some strings and have a Billy on the Street segment filmed ON THAT RIDE? I'm sure Disney would be cool about it.
