Will you ever do Billy in the Sheets?

Fuck yeah!

Are you still upset about the lack of Ratatouille representation at Disneyworld/Disneyland?

Yes, EXTREMELY.

For a dollar, What goes up and down but still remains in the same place?

My career???

Do you ever think you look like the handsome Shrek from Shrek 2?

I look like MOANA!!!

Where does the character of Billy on the Street end and Billy Eichner begin? Do you think it's hard for people to seperate you from the guy yelling about Meryl Streep? Is this an issue with friends and dating?

I think with all of my other appearances - Difficult People and all the talk shows etc people now realize its a character. And if they dont they are stupid. I have many friends and dates, I am very sexy and popular.

Your Grinder bit on Conan was hilarious. Is that something is staff brings to you or did you have a hand in crafting it?

His staff came up with that one! I love Conan

Ok, last question from me. Have you ever had a celebrity on Billy on the Street who just didn't get it?

Nas

Ok guys it's Billy here signing off! Thanks so much for all of your questions!! And remember to watch an all new BILLY ON THE STREET TONIGHT!!! 10:30/9:30c on TruTV!!!

Is Cate Blanchett a good actress or is she just tall?

She's one of the best!

Would you invite Nas back for a redemption segment??

YES!

Did Craig and Jean Ralphio ever get to go horseback riding together? Please get together with Ben Schwartz and film it.

Ps lots of love from Australia

Hi Australia!!! I need to visit there!

I love your work Billy, but enough about you. What did you think of Denzel Washingtons performance in Phantom of the Opera?

He was WONDERFUL.

Hey Billy, the "Bob Dylan or Anal" segment you did was one of the funniest episodes I've seen...but why restrict yourself? Anal WITH Bob Dylan?

Then I would deserve the Nobel Prize.

Billy, my favorite segment of yours is "Does Shakira Know What This Is?" with Patton Oswalt. I have watched it probably over 30x. My question to you is: Why are you possibly the funniest gay of all time?

Why funniest "gay"? Don't marginalize me!!! #TrumpsAmerica

Did you have any idea that Seth Rogen's mom was going to tweet about your segment with him or was that a surprise?

(For those who don't know: https://twitter.com/RogenSandy/status/800887733958819840?lang=en)

FUCK YOU!!! And its The Golden Girls duh

SHE DROVE ME HERE!!!

Which guest on Billy on the Street have you slept with or want to sleep with the most if you could?

DEBRA MESSING HANDS DOWN

Based on your segment with Sean Hayes, who is the most famous person you have in your phone?

Hmmm..maybe Poehler?

What would you say to someone who has never heard of you to make them want to watch one of your shows?

its for people who have a brain who like funny things and arent basic mainstream motherfuckers

Will you be releasing an album anytime soon? Glitter and Ribs is always stuck in my head.

https://youtu.be/yzqw57Q3eNI

wow thanks for remembering Glitter and Ribs - that is really one of the best things ive done i think

How fun was it to work with Lin-Manuel Miranda and are you guys besties now?

ive known Lin for over 10 years - we used to perform at the same small comedy theaters in NY way back when

What type of ice cream should I eat?

Coffee

Or Butter Pecan!

What should we do with Tila Tequila?

Not much

Are you as shocked as the rest of us that Elena is a pop culture sensation?

Nope, funniest person in the world other than Julie Klausner

Who would you marry, kill and fuck? Jessica Chastain, Kathy Griffin, Emma Stone. Go!

Marry Emma Stone, Fuck Jessica, Kill Kathy (she'll survive - NOTHING can kill KATHY GRIFFIN)

Why are you only wearing a purple shirt for everything in this new season?

Continuity

Any plans to broadcast Difficult People in the UK?

Best Parks and Recreation filming story?

I hope DP gets to the UK very soon but haven't heard anything! Loved filming Donna's wedding party on P&R. And Aziz made me do the "She Drove Me Here!" line over and over cause he loved it so much haha - He's on Billy on the Street in a few weeks!

Hey Billy! I like you. Your show is good.

Q: What did you cut from the Michelle Obama episode?

Not much, just a handful of questions cause it was too long

Will you have Elena narrate the audiobook of your memoir?

LOL

I love Billy on the Street and Difficult People and all of the Craig scenes on Parks and Rec so much and I think you'll be the funniest person on Earth once Martin Short dies.

My question: Would Drew Barrymore like this new season of Billy on the Street?

Yes but she would forget when its on

How did you get so smoking hot all of sudden? This is a legitimate question I wish to know the answer to.

working out a lot and more cardio than i used to do

What's next? Loved you in Parks and Rec and your dynamite in bobs burgers (Witch please!) hope to see/here more of you on BBs

-Willy.

i have a few others shows - Billy on the Street airs TONIGHT on Tru TV at 10:30, plus Difficult People on Hulu and a new series Friends From College next year on Netflix. I also have a fun lil cameo in Hairspray Live in a few weeks

Hi Billy! You're stupid hot. How do you keep your voice healthy?

Well thank you...and nothing really...sleep as much as I can

First I wanted to thank you for tweeting about the upcoming election for Senate in Louisiana. To stay local... Do you think Elena could get David Duke to change his views?

youre welcome! and god i dont know...i guess if anybody could...david duke can suck my dick

How do you feel now that Trump is President-elect? I know that you supported the #imwithher campaign

He makes me sick and his comrades are even worse - its a nightmare I am prepared to fight!

You should sing more often on TV, have you thought of segments on Billy On The Street where you could show off that voice?

I would love to sing more, not sure I'd do it on Billy on the Street though...but you never know!

Thanks for doing this! I'm a big fan. Difficult People is hands down the best original program on Hulu. You're fantastic and the writing is incredible.

You were stellar on Parks and Rec, my favorite side character. Do you have a favorite moment from that show? Did you learn anything from that cast that you apply towards your projects/career going forward?

Thanks, again!

It was a very relaxed set so i guess I learned that things dont always need to be frantic to be good...not always my go to philosophy haha...

Sometimes when I see you play the game "for a dollar," you don't give the person a dollar even though they answered correctly. Are you pocketing the money?

Ha no

Some of my favorite segments are the ones where you get really political eg, "Mark Twain or Eddie Murphy" and "Queen Latifah or a Brave Person". Do you get any pushback on that stuff from the network? Will there be more in store this season?

No thankfully - I have final cut on the show - and yes we played "Immigrant or Real American?" last week and there are more coming up

Billy, I am such a HUGE fan of Difficult People. Any word on S3?

They are writing it now - we start shooting in March!

How is Elena doing after the election? I saw the clip where she said she might kill herself if trump were elected. Also, was she ever able to get rid of her phone stalker?

She's ok. She' a survivor and she'll be on Billy on the Street for the first time this season next Tues!!!

You bring so much joy into my life and after moving to NYC it has been my dream to get screamed at on the street by you! Excited by all you have achieved and look forward to more.

What would you say your greatest life philosophy is?

Hmmm....trust your vision and fight to the death for what you want

If you could be any dog breed which would you be?

An ENORMOUS sheepdog

What game show do you think you would do best as a contestant?

Billy on the Street

I have to ask Billy this is kind of tacky but it's my chance we've noticed you getting better and better looking have you had some work done?

Yes, full body head to toe has been completely redone thank you for noticing

Was that Nas moment as awkward as it looked?

yup

Hi Billy! Love the show. I have two questions: 1. Do you reach out to celebrities to be on your show or do they approach you to be on your show? 2. Have you thought about doing a segment with Ellen DeGeneres? I think you two would be really great together!

Sending love from Canada :)

1. A mix of the two.
2. Would love to shoot with Ellen! I'll be on Ellen for the first time in Jan!!! So excited.

Billy, you make me laugh harder than anyone on TV. Have you ever been hit while doing BotS?

No but Thank you!!

For a dollar would you play the kazoo during a Kenneth Branagh monologue?

Meh probably not

Hey Billy! Been a huge fan of yours since you were on FoD and covered Madonna at the Super Bowl. Any chance for a Billy on the Street and Impractical Jokers crossover?

Please say no.

Also, you're super talented beyond berating people for their pop culture/personal opinions, do you have any desire to do any serious/dramatic roles on stage or on film?

Thanks!

P.S. Send Elena my love!

wow, thank you!! As for IJ...no.

And yes definitely want to take on some other roles when time allows!

Billy, I'm a huge fan! Loved you on James Corden last night. When did you realize you had "that voice"? Did you use it on your teachers/parents growing up?

Thank you! Singing was the first talent i realized i had as a kid - really wanted to do Broadway - still do! I was a theater major at Northwestern!

Did u ever work as a waiter? You're very convincing in the Hulu show

Very briefly, I was a terrible waiter but a good bartender

What game would you play if you got Trump to come onto the show?

Will never, ever be invited

If you could have anyone on your show dead or alive, who do you thing you'd have the most fun with?

Kate Winslet

What do you miss most about living in/near Chicago?

GOING TO COLLEGE

Exactly whose dreams are you making come true?

Figure it out...

Is there anything more to life than just being ridiculously good looking?

not really

What has been your favorite segment you've guest starred in? Helping Conan with Grindr was by far my favorite!!

Loved Conan on Grindr and every appearance with Letterman and the Emmys with Seth Meyers

Do u cry from laughing when u hang out w Julie?

ha...sometimes!

Love you, thank you for the laughs and your big-ass heart! Will you ever do a show with Meryl?? And are you truly happy? I hope you find love and joy, you deserve it!

ha thats very nice - thank you!! As for Meryl...maybe one day...

A huge media conglomerate gives you a nearly blank check to make some kind of art. (Book, movie, tv show, painting, poem, no limits) what do you make?

Hmmm I NEED MORE TIME.

I watch you from the UK. I love Billy On The Street and adore Difficult People. Do you have any other projects in the works? Also P.S. Can you tell me to fuck off? If you want to embellish your insult I'm a 35 year old IT Contractor with 3 dogs.

I on a new series on Netflix next year called Friends with College with Keegan Michael Key, Fred Savage and Cobie Smulders and a great cast!

Thanks for your show. I've been watching since you were only on YOUTUBE! I hope some day you make it to Bravo. You're hilarious and I've tinkled while watching. Who has been your favorite guest, besides Nas? Where do you hope to take things next? And I'd like to take you to lunch some time. Thanks Billy.

Why Bravo?

Whats going to happen to Chris Christie? Im worried about him

Jail hopefully

On average how much of your own work do you watch every week?

Nothing other than when I'm editing BOTS episodes

What's your go to karaoke song?

not a big karaoke guy

What is your favorite episode of Difficult People?

hmmm...hard to say..love the episode where I go visit Fred Armisen from season 1...love the Italian Piñata and Carter from S2

What are 3 things you get turned off by?

stupid people, trump voters, bad reality shows, stupid basic choices made by movie execs in Hollywood

Billy, for a dollar, is Colin Jost a douchebag or what?

Didnt like that stupid joke, thats for sure :/

Have you ever run into Eddie Murphy since you did Mark Twain or Eddie Murphy on your show?

I havent...

Have you seen Moonlight yet?

No but really want to

Billy!! I love you so much and your shameless ability to harass people! Thank you for making me and my friends crack up constantly.

What was your inspiration for starting Billy on the Street?

Also, I was super excited to hear you were going to be a part of HAIRSPRAY LIVE! What drew you to the project and are you going to be doing more musical theatre related things soon?

would love to do some broadway at some point..hard to balance broadway and tv shooting schedules but hopefully one day

You once approached me for one your bits on the street, and I didn't make the show.

I presume that you cut out anyone who disproves your point or kills your punchline?

well yeah if its not funny or you're boring you get cut

But I really wanted that threeway. False advertising.

lol

When did you get so buff? ;)

Last Tuesday

As someone who's seen you perform in various roles on tv but has never known who you are, I have now binged every publicly available episode of both Difficult People as well as Billy on the Street and now follow you on twitter.

My question is, in your opinion, why is it only now in the last year and a half that you're popularity and relevancy has skyrocketed?

not sure...a lot of different, unique and well reviewed projects all happening at once i guess, thankfully...

Hey Billy, it's Billy, and I love you. BOtS and DP are my favorite shows. Wondering if you have reached out to any celebrities to come on either show who turned you down? Name names please :)

Oh yes many! Lol

If Joan Rivers came back to life for one day and she turned on the news and saw what was going on, what do you think she would say and how do you think she would react?

i think she'd make fun of everyone involved on both sides...she was friends with Trump so that wouldve been interesting...
