Billy Eichner

Billy Eichner—actor, comedian, writer, and producer—burst onto the scene in 2011 with Billy on the Street, a satirical TV game show he created and starred in, where Billy walked the streets of New York City asking people to compete in pop culture trivia challenges. The show gained a massive fanbase, four Emmy nominations, and much critical acclaim, even experiencing a rebirth on TikTok more than a decade after it first debuted. The show has not only become a dominant force on social media with hundreds of millions of views but remains one of the most beloved and respected comedy acts in the industry. In 2022, Billy co-wrote, starred in, and produced the movie Bros, making him the first openly gay man to star in, write, and produce his own major studio film. It was also the first major studio film where all major roles were played by openly LGBTQ+ actors. Today, Billy continues to delight audiences online and on screen, in shows, and movies ranging from The Lion King (2019), Parks and Recreation, American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Bob’s Burgers, Difficult People, and many more. Most recently, Billy appeared in Honey, Don’t! directed by Ethan Coen, and wrapped production on the upcoming comedy film Judgment Day opposite Will Ferrell, Zac Efron, and Regina Hall. His audio memoir, Billy on Billy, comes out in May 2026 from Macmillan Audio.
