Billy Eichner has made a triumphant return to his man-on-the-street comedy show, Billy On The Street, after a two-year break. Teaming up with comedic powerhouse Will Ferrell, Eichner launched the “Loud White Men For Kamala” campaign aimed at encouraging voter turnout for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.
A Comedic Push for Democracy
The new video, released across Eichner’s social media platforms, showcases the duo’s antics as they hit the bustling streets of New York City. According to a statement from Eichner’s publicist, the mission of this campaign is clear: “to do everything we possibly can to protect Americans from Donald Trump in these crucial final days of Early Voting and exactly one week before Election Day.”
In the clip, Eichner and Ferrell approach unsuspecting pedestrians, introducing themselves as “Loud White Men For Kamala.” Their engaging style includes asking humorous questions like, “Would you have sex with a Trump voter?” and quizzing passersby on their favorite Ferrell movies, all while offering a dollar for answers.
