He launched his career asking strangers on the streets on NYC questions about celebrities in his signature shrill Billy On The Street persona on truTV, only to perfect it later on NBC’s Parks & Recreation. Now, with three seasons of the delightfully demented and filthy Difficult People on Hulu, Eichner has proved to be a nimble performer as he is an interviewer, though his characters are a kind of riff on his real-life persona: unapologetic, hilarious and pop culture-obsessed.
Eichner can be seen on American Horror Story: Cult, the seventh season of the American Horror Story anthology television series created by Ryan Murphy on FX, which isn’t played for laughs.
