‘Billy on the Street’ Revival With Will Ferrell for Kamala Harris Draws 12M Views in 24 Hours

As a dedicated fan who has followed Billy Eichner’s career since his early days on “Billy on the Street”, I can confidently say that this latest collaboration with Will Ferrell is nothing short of electrifying! The energy, the humor, and the urgency they bring to the table in support of Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is truly inspiring.


As a devoted fan, I can’t contain my excitement as Billy Eichner brings back his hit show, “Billy on the Street,” featuring none other than the legendary Will Ferrell, during the final sprint of Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign! In just 24 hours, this extraordinary episode garnered a staggering 12 million views across social media platforms. What an unforgettable moment for us fans!

A three-minute-long video titled “Billy on the Street with Will Ferrell: Loud White Men for Kamala” was released on October 29 across Eichner’s social media platforms. This segment shows Eichner and Ferrell conversing with people on the streets of New York City, aiming to encourage voting for Kamala Harris and her vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz prior to the U.S. presidential election on November 5th.

Two boisterous comedians, urging passersby in New York City, are imploring people to vote and volunteer for the Harris campaign. Their publicist’s note suggests taking all necessary actions within the remaining early voting period and the forthcoming Election Day, to safeguard Americans from Donald Trump during these critical last days before Election Day.

It’s no wonder that the initial reaction to the reboot of the viral street quiz show has been strong, considering Ferrell’s earlier appearances on “Billy on the Street” garnered over 100 million views across various social media platforms. The latest episode was brought to life through a collaboration with Vote Save America, Swing Left, and other generous contributors.

The revival of “Billy on the Street” has been broadcast after the series ran for five seasons on cable television, with three seasons on Fuse and the last two on TruTV. This show significantly boosted Eichner’s fame and eventually led to the 2022 gay romantic comedy film “Bros,” produced by Universal and directed by Nicholas Stoller. It has been more than two years since Eichner revived his street interview format to promote the movie “Bros.” At that time, he mentioned there might be more appearances, possibly on special occasions. However, he stated he wouldn’t do it as frequently as before. Nevertheless, you never know when another episode may surface when the right moment arrives.

This election season, Ferrell hasn’t held back his voice either. Previously, the Harris-Walz campaign shared a video featuring Ferrell encouraging an unenthused voter named “Gary” to cast his ballot.
