truTV Sets President's Day Marathon of "Billy on the Street"

Marathon Kicks Off with Billy on the Street: Political Comedy! Special

truTV will celebrate President's Day with a special two-hour marathon of Billy on the Street, the popular variety sketch series created by and starring Billy Eichner and produced by Funny Or Die, the network announced today. Kicking off the event on Monday, February 20 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT is the Billy on the Street: Political Comedy! special, which is a compilation of some of the buzziest and most politically-charged segments from the current season of the hit series. Three additional episodes from the series' fifth season hand-picked by Eichner will follow and will mark the end of the series' fifth season run on truTV.

Billy on the Street is a variety sketch series that follows unfiltered and unapologetic comedian Billy Eichner as he hits the streets of New York City to test unsuspecting passersby. Throughout the series' fifth season, Billy was joined by some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Seth Rogen, Jon Hamm, Stephen Colbert, James Corden, Lupita Nyong'o, John Oliver, Aziz Ansari, Andy Samberg, Keegan-Michael Key and Jacob Tremblay. The series has become a critical hit, with the New Yorker calling it one of the year's best series, Vulture proclaiming it "a delightful alchemy of pop culture, celebrity, performance art, and social anthropology," and The Daily Beast exclaiming "it's a game-show joke assault that's one of TV's biggest laugh riots, but one that should also be taken seriously." Describing one of the season's most-pointed obstacle courses, Slate called it "a seriously effective work of sketch comedy and perhaps the clearest example yet of how Eichner can use his style for political commentary."

Billy on the Street is executive-produced by Mike Farah, CEO of Funny Or Die, along with Eichner, Anna Wenger and Doug Brady.
