Billy Eichner brought back his popular “Billy on the Street" show for one special episode ahead of Election Day. He and comedic actor Will Ferrell teamed up to campaign for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris by running around New York City wearing “Loud White Men for Kamala” T-shirts and accosting passersby in a hilarious way.
