Billy Eichner, host of Fuse's comedy game show Billy on the Street, received a much-deserved Emmy nomination yesterday. Eichner was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Game Show Host," despite the fact that his show airs at night (the Primetime Emmys don't have a category for game shows, so all game show people receive recognition by the Daytime Emmys).

This new preview of Funny or Die's Billy on the Street is the elderly lady edition! Elderly ladies know all about Brad Pitt and they are clearly dying to get it on with Michael Buble and Josh Groban even if they won't admit it. But who isn't? LADIES? GENTLEMEN? God I can't wait till Thursday when we can watch Billy Eichner screaming in people's faces about Jewel while brandishing dollar bills like nunchucks in full half-hour increments.
