Billy Eichner Talks Getting Political in “Billy on the Street”

Description

Billy Eichner, best known for TruTV’s “Billy on the Street” has come along way since he first started posting youtube videos thirteen years ago. Along the way, though, Eichner’s comedy has acquired a political edge. On this season, he had controversial skits titled “Immigrant or Real American?” and the “Super Sloppy Semi-Automatic Double Dare!,” an obstacle course in which Keegan-Michael Key took a guided tour of America’s lax gun laws. Eichner is reported saying, “My live shows always responded to current events and news, and we planted those seeds on the show in Seasons 3 and 4 in smaller and more subtle ways,” Over the years, he said, he’s began to feel free to push the limit and take a more political edge to the show. Unfortunately Eichner is taking a break from his show while he films for this upcoming season of American Horror Story: Cult.

  • Former John McCain Aide Recounts Tense Phone Call With Trump After Inauguration

    As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump famously denied that the late Arizona Sen. John McCain was a hero. Trump said he liked people who 'didn't get caught.' Now, former McCain aide Mark Salter claims in a new book that the senator had a tense phone call with President Donald Trump, shortly after the 2017 inauguration. According to Business Insider, Salter says in the book that Trump appeared angry about McCain's withdrawing his endorsement during the presidential election. After some back-and-forth, McCain said he'd withdrawn his endorsement of Trump over the notorious Access Hollywood recording. But the call calmed down and Trump gave McCain his cellphone number. However, McCain later told his aide he 'lost the number.'
