(Photo by Nicole Rivelli/Universal Pictures) Billy Eichner’s ‘Bros’ could be the first gay rom-com to be a mainstream smash TIM NASSON | Contributing Writertim.nasson@gmail.com Openly-gay comedian Billy Eichner is usually the one asking the questions.
Eichner came to fame with his award-winning, 2011-2017 truTV show, Billy On The Street, where he would accost strangers on the streets of Manhattan, often with an A-list celebrity at his side.
Eichner would interrupt someone in the middle of a jog, an errand or daily commute to ask a groan-inducing question or play a silly game.
Most New Yorkers did not recognize either Eichner or his celebrity sidekicks like Chris Evans, Will Ferrell, Mariah Carrey or Sarah Jessica Parker.
