"I'm going to be so rich after this" LOL I admire the honesty!

[rudylopez]

This guy is more entertaining than a lot of
A-list actors.

[manuelmedina]

Perfect voice for him. Somehow him and john mulaney need to do something

[johnnyarellano]

He has theater major written all over him lol

[vemovasnena]

Im oddly proud of him since watching the OG Billy on the street and seeing where he is now

[nicki]

Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen was the perfect choice for Timon and Pumbaa. Can’t see anyone to replace them.

[AyeshaMalik]

He will always be Craig from Parks & Rec to me 😂

[karinagarcia]

I’ve always loved him ! He’s hilarious and billy on the streets is the best

[cleverusername]

Billy and Seth absolutely stole the show

[mr.personhumanson]

Funny how he is actually a good singer but screams at people in the streets of NY for a living

[MicheleKlinger]

I am so proud of Billy and all his success. I’ve been a huge fan of his for years. He’s from the same area of Queens as me, and it’s amazing to see how far he’s come. Now, he’s an iconic character who will forever be part of the Disney legacy.

[amelieparent]

The title makes it sound like he was banned from tinder and also banned from the lion king

[elizaheathen]

everyone plz go watch the Billy on the Street where he argues incessantly with a woman about whether or not Denzel Washington was in Phantom of the Opera


it's perfect

[TheElleiver]

He should wear that next time he does Billy on the Street!

[lesliecomstock]

So happy Billy is reaching this level of success. He’s a fearless advocate and such an amazing person. Besides that, I feel like he’s a fresh talent- he reminds me of no one else! Love that.

[amyd]

"Wow Billy can sing!"

Parks and Rec fans: "yah we know!"

[m.a]

TIMONE AND PUMPA WERE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE MOVIE💯😂😂😂🙌🏽🙌🏽

[Blue-hqfo]

Billy Eichner absolutley stole the movie. He was the best part, so funny and charming as Timon.

[TheReySkywalker]

I hope Billy finds someone for him. To me, he’s what you’d want in a partner. Funny, smart, talented, handsome, etc

[MikeBoucher]

Billy is a treasure. He must be protected.
