Who knew that haranguing unknowing pedestrians with a celebrity in tow would turn into a viral YouTube phenomenon?
Comedian Billy Eichner has sure made a mark with his segment ‘Billy On The Street,’ which entails nothing more than the description above. It is a bizarre and unpredictable affair, and has included Julianne Moore reenacting her most potent scenes in Times Square and Seth Rogen trying to convince everyone that he’s dead.
The charming celeb off the rank this time round is Aziz Ansari, who, in light of the Golden Globes nominations being announced this morning, took to the streets of NYC to firmly remind idle passersby that the past couple of years have seen television’s finest moments.
“Have you seen ‘The Wire‘? ‘Breaking Bad‘? It’s the golden age of TV,” Aziz stressed to a young gal sipping on an iced tea who claimed that TV “is horrible.”
“Fuck Lucille Ball, we’ve got Constance Zimmer now,” Eichner screamed at an elderly woman, who responded with, “I don’t have a phone.”
It’s weird, it’s intense, and it’s wonderful. Check out the clip below:
