Summary

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! We have a very funny gift of an episode for you before we take a few weeks off!!! We will return in mid January 2023!

We meet the one and only BILLY EICHNER!!! Leading American comedian, actor, producer, and screenwriter, Eichner is the star of new gay romcom Bros and also the creator of Billy on the Street, the iconic comedy game show. The show earned Eichner a nomination for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host.

We discuss how Billy grew up with access to the arts in New York City but how he went on to discover most of his favourite artists via musicals, movies and TV shows! Most notably Six Degrees of Separation, the 1993 American comedy-drama starring Will Smith. We learn how Joan Rivers became a mentor and friend and how Madonna's SEX book by Steven Meisel was the first art book he ever owned!
