Michael Ian Black and D.L. Hughley to Host TBS's 'Trust Me, I'm a Game Show Host'

by | April 23rd, 2013

Michael Ian Black and D.L. Hughley will be dueling game show hosts. TBS announced today that the two comedians will host Trust Me, I'm a Game Show Host, a series from reality kingpin Mark Burnett in which one of the two hosts is trying to present the contestant with a wrong answer and one is telling the truth. Hughley and Black will each share a bizarre fact with the contestant, who will have to choose which one isn't a lie. Trust Me, I'm a Game Show Host is set to premiere in late 2013, unless that's a lie too.

Craig Rowin Makes Another Play For His Million Dollars

by | November 28th, 2011

It's been a long year spent shivering in our respective offices, wondering feverishly whether Craig Rowin would ever get that million dollars he was asking for. And asking for. And then going on TV to ask for. And then it seemed like he was going to get it, but it was a hoax. And then he was silent for months, dormant, like a volcano, or a snake waiting to uncoil and pounce on its prey. Now, he's taken to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (for which it should be noted that Rowin is the head writer) to get what is rightfully his, [...]

Billy Eichner Plays "It's Spock! Do You Care?" with Zachary Quinto

by | February 1st, 2013

Here's a segment from tonight's episode of Funny or Die Presents Billy on the Street on Fuse. In the clip, host Billy Eichner runs around the streets of New York accompanied by actor Zachary Quinto (Spock from the Star Trek movies), shouting the question "It's Spock! Do you care?" at pedestrians. A surprising amount of people either don't believe it's Spock and/or don't care.

Billy Eichner Is Funny or Die's Billy On The Street

by | October 25th, 2011

The music TV network Fuse doesn't even need to see a pilot: it's skipping right to making Billy Eichner's Funny or Die "man on the street" videos a series. Funny or Die's Billy On The Street will premiere December 22, when "Eichner hits the streets of New York City to test pedestrians on their knowledge of pop culture in a fast-paced and comedic trivia-style game show." Okay! By the way, why do people always say "hit the streets"? It never happens. JUST ONCE I'd like to see someone actually physically hit the street. One time.

Billy Eichner Puts Rachel Dratch Through a Julia Roberts Obstacle Course

by | January 23rd, 2013

Here's a clip from Funny Or Die's Billy on the Street, in which host Billy Eichner sends guest Rachel Dratch through the show's first-ever Julia Roberts-themed obstacle course. It's just as exhausting (and funny) watching Eichner scream at Dratch for five minutes as it probably is running through the actual obstacle course.
